A review by protoman21
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

4.0

I have mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand it is engaging and entertaining. On the other, I'm not really that fond of the main character. Bella is pretty self centered and judgmental. She becomes obsessed over a boy and then nothing else in the world matters. This is probably a realistic take on some teenage girls, but I found it off putting especially when all of these boys from her school fall all over her when there appears to be nothing special about her. The story flows well and Edward is a much more likable character than Bella. I'm looking forward to the book from his point of view. I can see how this book is popular though: it is well written and sucks (pun not intended) the reader in. Looking forward to the movie!
