Book One of the series, Meyer’s fantasy fiction is meant for the hyperventilating teenager who’s just discovered the world of romance and probably the world of reading. In saying that, I acknowledge that I have picked it up too late in life to give it a fair chance. Nevertheless, I give it credit for being an easy read and thus, I presume would be fairly interesting to a beginning reader who does not refuse to be uprooted from the real world. Besides this, the book has little to offer in terms of plot twists or literary value.
I think it best to reserve judgment till I have finished the entire series. So much for now.
Every book has a story
This series was picked up purely for its reputation as a best seller and the countless young girls I had overheard going crazy over Robert Pattinson (Edward). I wondered on the capability of a vampire to capture teenage hearts. It was of course available for pittance at the last book fair and I could not resist the temptation to pick up the whole series. And despite warnings from some of my friends, I have managed to finish reading the first one. This is my personal challenge to read beyond the genre I like.
