Fantastic!!

Customer Rating:
The sequel to Twilight did not disappoint. When I read Host, I loved the book and couldn't wait to read more from this talented author. I purchased the four Twilight Saga books.

I've enjoyed them all. This author writes from a first person prespective and you come to love the characters, especially the teenage heroine who shares the self-consciousness of her co-horts and her weaknesses and foibles (she is the definition of clutz). Through each successive book you see her mature and develop into a wonderful adult heroine.

This series is alive with monsters, many of whom I came to love.

I can't wait to see what Stephanie Meyer has in store for us next.

Still Loving the Saga

Customer Rating:
The first book of the series, "Twilight", got me hooked immediately. The second book, "New Moon", has kept me hooked, and now I can't wait to read the third! This series has been a refreshing departure from the norm.

My least favorite book in the the series

Customer Rating:
I want to preface this review by saying that I love, love, love this series. I am quite a bit older than the "average" fan of the books (39), but I still find them addictive and engrossing. That being said, this is by far my least favorite of the four books. I plead guilty to being a complete fangirl for Edward (I'm a huge vampire fan), so the fact that he was barely present in New Moon put a serious damper on the plot for me. I don't find Jacob very interesting. In fact, his immaturity (especially compared to Edward) stands out far too much here. I found myself skimming over chunks of the text, something I would never have dreamt of doing with any of the other books. It's important to read all of the books to get the real "flavor" of the series and understand everything that happens, but this one was kind of a chore for me.

Great book!

I heard about the Twilight Series from a morning show on the radio...I read the first book in a week and finished this book in the next week! It was great.

Great for Teens - Just Not My Thing at My Age

Customer Rating:
After reading the first book in the series as well as New Moon, I had to rethink my initial reaction to the books which were "The characters in these books are ridiculous" because for teenagers, they're not. I started reading the series after a friend recommended them and while they're not uninteresting, they're not complex enough to hold my attention at my age (45 years). I believe the Harry Potter series will hold up to the test of time regardless of the reader's age but truthfully, these books are obviously aimed at a younger audience and it isn't fair for me to critique them. I believe I would have LOVED these books as a teenager.
