Twilight
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer was a decent read. The author provided a gripping beginning that would make anyone want to continue reading. It was a solid read throughout the book but overall it was not the book for me. Twilight is labeled as young adult which I don’t think our book club was aware of at first. I expected there to be a more detail in several cases than there actually was. But with that said, the lack of detail in particular cases makes it a great read for the younger audience.
Stephenie Meyer did an outstanding job in portraying each character that she introduced. You were able to get to know them and remember them quite easily. Isabella Swan (Bella) was an ordinary teen experiencing her first true love. She was the kind of character who knew what she wanted and said as much. Yest at the same time came across as whiny and selfish. A typical teen discovering her own way and identity.
Edward was a strong character in the story as well. He was the kind of love that you hope for from the kind of passion and loyalty that he bestowed upon Bella. If you were to take out what he was, you wanted thier love to continue. But I was concerned when towards the end that Bella wanted this lifestyle and keeps talking about getting her way. She wants to give everything up for one man. In the sequal New Moon, Stephenie Meyer gives an excerpt from a chapter. It starts with how much Edward wants her to continue on the natural path of her life. College being the number one priority. I am interested in the message that Stephenie Meyer will send to her young readers in the way she will resolve the “impasse” that her two characters are at.
Twilight was predictable but lays a great foundation for the upcoming sequals. The sequals to Twilight are New Moon (book 2) and Eclipse (book 3).
Author Stephenie Meyer has a great story on how she started Twilight. If your interested, here is a link to Stephenie Meyer’s web site.
