And I thought the writing was rather meh. But I think I would have thrilled to it when I was a teenager with 0.0 romantic experience (but oh the aspirations!) and that kinda bothers me!<BR/><BR/>I only read the first book and the first couple chapters of the second, though...I hear the writing gets better but it was the themes that bothered me.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10570826875121421559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137298368460458257.post-10876230278149895522009-01-10T17:48:00.000-08:002009-01-10T17:48:00.000-08:00ack, i got sucked in too! the first one was ok--gr...ack, i got sucked in too! the first one was ok--great mindless entertainment, certainly not winning any pulitzers. the 2nd one is still keeping me interested, but i just cannot get over what a freaking whiney dumbass bella is. and that's my problem with these books. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04061274099171826005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137298368460458257.post-66005691011638535932009-01-05T06:27:00.000-08:002009-01-05T06:27:00.000-08:00I wouldn't be embarrassed about reading them.

Somehow, I've avoided it, but I will probably pick them up eventually.Jaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751259218587190859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137298368460458257.post-5503334111726308892009-01-04T23:00:00.000-08:002009-01-04T23:00:00.000-08:00I secretly also read the first Twilight book after...I secretly also read the first Twilight book after you left. I found it entertaining, but it didn't seem like a page turner. I used it more as a distraction than anything else.Yarndudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11192809145117603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137298368460458257.post-32140335370891742702009-01-04T16:32:00.000-08:002009-01-04T16:32:00.000-08:00Whew!

I only read the first one, and while it was diverting (ish), it certainly wasn't OMGTHEBESTNOVELEVER. And I like teen romances and vampire novels!Arielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02977242576353588533noreply@blogger.com
