The book became an epidemic in itself, I was sucked into purchasing the book I could not help it. I was a fan of Vampires and the Story Plot of Forbidden Love blah blah blah, you know all that nonsense.
I watched the movie while reading the book (weird, I know).
All the hype ruined the novel for me, I found the novel very repetitive, a type of story plot to which was narrated by a 12 year old who loves Tim Burton and the Idea of Fantasy Vampires, Blood, and kind of Gothic and obsessed with Forbidden Love.
I am sorry but I do not know what type of author would construct such a tedious perpetuated novel that appeals to hopeless romantic tweens with a faint perception of self love let alone love that they are going to get it twisted by not only believing in Vampires and the idea of being with a mysterious male who could unfortunately in the real world could potentially be a psychopath. The fact that the novel was appraised heavily on Youth worries me because it inflicted another epidemic fantasy of relationships and love with our Youth, as if it is not already distorted. I used to like Vampires and the idea of it, not after this junk, (pardon how blunt I am), I watched some very good movies with Vampires that was very narrated and the quality was there. After this book, as hard as it was to read it all, and how I just dreaded each page and wondered why the story was so long that it kept repeating itself, leaving readers like myself not on a cliffhanger, but leading me know where but the same thing over over and over again. Once I start a book, regardless of how good or bad it is, I have to finish it, this was by far the one that took one of the longest and I have read so many books and believe me, this one was one at the bottom of the list on oh my god I finished this, geez, I am sweating and relieved that the best part was the end because that meant the novel was over.

The books were actually quite well written. Do not judge them based on the movie. I found the first one to be the best in the series. Quite a lengthy read, but you get into it and don't notice

It is an alright book/story with an decent amount of world-building. The conversations as they are written could use a little work. A run of the mill young adult book.

Everyone says these books suck, and as I read them again now they do, but for a younger teenager I think they're interesting to read, for that particular age group. Now when I read them though they are kind of stupid, but I think a younger teenage audience would find them a bit more interesting.

Vampire novels are my genre, love them. But I didn't start reading this series till after the first movie came out. It's worth the read when you're trying to relax and don't want to read something heavy.

When I read this book I wasn't in to vampires and that kind of stuff but the live story behind it all made that I couldn't put the book down.

This is the book that got me reading again, it started with friends telling me you have to read this book I said no way I don't have time well once they got me to start reading it I didn't want to stop,

I have had this book a really long time and I still enjoy picking it up and rereading it I love the character and the story like one of my favorite by far

I read this book when I was about 15 and I really enjoyed reading it at that age. Would I enjoy reading it today? Probably not because I am older and not into that whole vampire and warewolf phase anymore. I would definitely reccomend it for young girls to read because I loved this series when I was young! It's a very easy read.

My cousin told me about twilight, before the fandemonium, I was hooked.
