A review by egbella
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
3.0
After finding the series at my local thrift store for cheap, I decided I want to read it and see for myself whether it's as awful (or as good?) as people say. One book in and I'm very conflicted so far. Parts were surprisingly well-written, interesting, and wholesome, and other (granted, a lot of other) parts made me cringe and realize why it's made fun of often. I'm going to hold off on full judgement until I read the full series.
Overall, I did actually enjoy this. Not every little part of it, but as a whole, it was a 'junk food' read - not too much substance, but it's still enjoyable if you don't pay too close attention and if you like these kinds of plots. I've never seen the full movies, but from the clips I've seen, I do think the first book holds more promise than the first movie.
I'll try to come back and update this with specifics and a full series review after I'm done with the rest of the books. (or just have a better way to word my thoughts so far, haha!)
