Part of the reason is because I liked Twilight so much that I jumped immediately into the second book and finished it in two days, and am now halfway through the third one. And as I wrote my review, I realized I was writing stuff that I couldnt possibly have insight into based on the first book alone. Ive hopelessly intermingled the two.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191096654817601753.post-36186000908005462052008-12-11T08:44:00.000-06:002008-12-11T08:44:00.000-06:00ok finished it last night...Book one that is.

A friend of mine gave me the link to your site since she knows how much I love Twilight and finding new people to talk about these amazing books with. I included the link to my first post about Twilight way back last January when I first read them. Twilight is amazing and I try to make everyone I know read them. I just love to share a good story with people. And if you love Stephenie Meyer I second the recommendation of her adult novel The Host. After you are done with all the Twilight books of course. :)Cupcake Blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10588999664483664504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191096654817601753.post-58427232224864287762008-12-08T21:19:00.000-06:002008-12-08T21:19:00.000-06:00Miss K!!!!

I'm just not that into a high school girl's mindset. All the teen angst just didn't do it for me. Maybe because I have all boys? I really didn't even enjoy the book until halfway into the book...which usually means I would have already quit reading. But because of the bookclub I plowed on.<BR/><BR/>I don't read science fiction..vampires or otherwise, so it wasn't my normal type of read. I thought it was okay. The action in the last 1/3 of the book kept me going. I do like series books though, so maybe I'll pick up the next one.<BR/><BR/>I do admire any author who can get this many kids/teens interested in reading (not to mention all the adults who read it).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191096654817601753.post-46162934431981905842008-12-08T14:40:00.000-06:002008-12-08T14:40:00.000-06:00...Wow!

I didn't write the article, I only wish I could write something that reads that well.<BR/><BR/>As for Twilight, we have two grown daughters that love the books and really enjoyed the movie. In fact our youngest daughter 35, went back and saw it the second time alone. First time was with her older sister and two of her sister's friends from work. Apparently they only saw about three men in the audience. Only women and teenage girls oohing and aahing through the whole movie. <BR/><BR/>Again thanks for stopping by, and again, I didn't write the article, someone sent it to me in my e-mail. That's where I get most of my material.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106461789118388241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191096654817601753.post-83470442502999343252008-12-07T18:06:00.000-06:002008-12-07T18:06:00.000-06:00Wow, you've done this before!

Of course anything positive about T. makes me happy, but I am so tired of the critics trying to pull the Mormon card out-- NEVER would you see an author's religion pulled into a book critique any other time-- so thank you for seeing what really was a LOVELY romance and not a brainwashing by an LDS author. How's that for a run-on?<BR/>I can hum the Dark Shadows theme song-- it was an afternoon treat for me when I was little :-)imbeingheldhostagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771374087307254969noreply@blogger.com
