Ok, I picked up this book with reluctance. Unlike most of the other girls (and boys)my age and older it took me a while to be convinced to read this book. I tried to pick it up just after it came on paperback, with no interest on my part. I must admit, even after I started it the second time around I found the beginning kind of sluggish, but I don't know if others feel the same way. I finally read it after much pushing and shoving by two of my friends, who were shocked that the bookworm hadn't read this series yet. I better start sending out my thanks, because I don't regret spending my time on Twilight for one minute. It was romance, mysterious, and engrossing. Of course, I always have my list of qualms... The Bad- 1. Some parts of this book seemed to have the same ... Read More

I am too old to be reading these books really. I won't tell you that the writing in these novels is especially challenging to read, or has a ring of poetry or genius. The characters presented in these books are about as three dimensional as most high school students. So why do I like these books? Perhaps it is because Bella reminds me of myself when I was 14 years old. She is so irrationally in love, selfish, and immature, even though she almost always tries to do what she feels is the right thing. The stories are not complex, but they are quick, action packed, and each chapter ends in a cliffhanger of sorts. In addition, the books often had me laughing and/or worrying about the characters.

I liked the first book in the series (Twilight) and as soon as I finished it I went out and bought New Moon. It was immensely disappointing. Bella is incredibly boring, apathetic and acts like a brat through the entire book. The Jacob Black plot was SO obvious, no person with half an iota of intelligence would have taken as long as Bella to figure out. I just wanted to get to the end so it would be over, not because I much cared what happened to her or Edward. Can't say I like a character that spends an entire novel moping and takes a guy back the first chance she gets even though he treated her like dirt (for her own good, of course...so stupid). I won't bother wasting my money on the third book. I may get it from the library. Just how many books are supposed to be in this "Saga"? I do hope Meyer has ... Read More

Okay ... I don't know what more could be said about this book ... good, bad or otherwise ... but here's my 2 cents worth: I'm a grandmother, avid reader of all kinds of books. My son gave me the first 4 HP books for Christmas a few years back. My immediate reaction was "ick .. children's books .. did you make a boo-boo?" However, I read them (knowing nothing about HP) and was absolutely delighted. They took me to that place all favorite books do. I was drawn in to the story; the characters became a part of me; and I just had to see how it all turned out. So, there's the history. I thought JK was spot-on with this book. She tied up all the loose ends, let us see most of our favorite characters again, one last time, and gave us an ending that tied in all of the hints and ... Read More

A must read in the Percy Jackson series! It has humor, action, adventure, drama. I am already anxious for Rick Riordan to publish the next one in the series.

This is the first in the series, and I am so glad that I had the next 2 available! I enjoyed the book so much that I starte the second book just minutes after I finished the first one.
