A review by veraveruchka
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
4.0
I can hear someone preparing to hurl stones at me and muttering doubt about my sense in literature. LOL.
I've been a Twihard in my younger years --a huge one, if I might add. The release of the second film effectively stopped my fangirling (Bare-chested werewolves, anyone? Am I the only one who thinks that there's nothing sexy about that at all?) but I still love the story and the universe. Well, not wholly like I did before, but I still love a big part of it.
It's easy to see why the 15 years old me liking Twilight. An ordinary and almost boring girl gets attention from the hottest boy in school--who happens to be a sparkling vampire. So many girl can relate to that fantasy (excluding the sparkling vampire thingy), including me. Nice to visit that younger self of mine and realize how much I've been growing up since then :)
Almost everyone probably has read/peeked at the book and those who haven't probably already knew the rough storyline, so I don't have to rewrite it here. My personal favorite part is when the backstory of the vampires were told. Too bad this book was told from Bella's perspective, she's too boring, childish, and sentimental at times. The vampires are more interesting, even without Bella repeatedly describes how 'perfect' they are.
PLUS, I got it for free from a contest in Twilight Indonesia (that I didn't consciously enter). This book remind me of really personal sweet (and sometimes stupid) experience...so I give four stars for how this book entices me and give me a sweet, sweet reminiscence :)
