This book repeatedly contradicts Holy scriptures. Although interesting, it is a false perspective (based on God’s Holy word) of who God is.

Mixed reviews held me back from reading this book for quite some time, despite my recent foray into juvenile literature. I have to say I have mixed feelings as well, though not for a lot of the reasons I’ve read (okay, people who say a 12-year-old criminal mastermind is just ‘too farfetched’ of an idea… did you notice the fairies and dwarves and trolls and the centaur? Oh, a 12-year old genius is too much to handle, but all of the fantasy creatures… no problem? Fiction, people… it’s fiction. If I wanted ‘real world’ stuff I’d just leave the house!). Mostly I had a very hard time picturing a lot of the creatures (specifically the dirt-eating unhinged-jawed dwarf) and didn’t have a great handle on the setting/technology/magic being described. But the action was good, and I did like a lot of the characters. So it gets a pretty middle-of-the road review, though I will read more in the series.

I picked up a copy of Twilight because, like so many people, I had heard all the hype, seen the movie previews, even have some friends who have read it and loved it, etc. Like others who have written a review here, I’m outside of the target demographic, but a good book should be readable by any age group, any gender, and any education level. This is not a good book. I got through chapter 3 and had to put it down. Everything is irritating about this novel.

One reason I wanted to read the book is that I’d heard people saying that it taught young women that it’s all right to be stalked, as long as the guy loves you. That women need to be protected because they can’t take care of themselves. I couldn’t argue the point if I had not read it for myself.

There are three important aspects in novels, one of which must be good. It’s rare that all three are good. None are good in Twilight. Characters – Bella is a whiny teenager who made a decision about her life and regrets every minute of it. When the explanation for her moving back to Forks is finally revealed, it’s meant to make her seem noble and willing to sacrifice her own happiness for someone else. The Cullens, typical vampire attitude, who are trying to hide what they are, but haven’t yet managed to learn to act normal. The other kids in school, so willing to accept, even adore Bella. And Bella, of course, is the daughter of the sheriff. Plot – Not much original here. Gloomy setting, weird kids who set themselves apart from everyone else, in comes Bella Swan (beautiful swan) to save the day. Writing – Irritating. Too many sentences the same length. Too many repetitions of thoughts and phrases. Although each is often small, there are too many point of view shifts.

Logic has no part. I’m not talking about logic in the supernatural, but in the real world. For instance, the truck that Charlie buys for Bella (which I’m certain would eventually have great significance since so much time was spent on h

“The Help” is certainly a book that tugs at the readers heart strings. The reader’s attention is captured within a few pages of starting this book. It gives insight into how “separate but equal” was justified by the Caucasian population in Mississippi, while also poignantly describing the politics of female interactions within both the black and white social circles. Your emotions will run the gamut by the end of this book. The author writes in prose, which makes the story more personal and relatable. Highly recommended!

This is a very good book. It’s a fast read, despite its mammoth size. Granted, it’s no “It” by Stephen King, but it’s a pretty big book at a whopping 498 pages. I think this book could have been a lot better if it had been about a hundred pages less. Here’s my simple breakdown:

PROS:
The book reads fast, so each chapter seems to fly by. The relationships between the characters are real, the dialogue feels real, even the love seems real. Realism keeps a reader glued to the book & this book – despite its obvious vampire plot – is very realistic. It’s also very well written. Stephanie Meyer doesn’t say in ten sentences what she can say in five, and she doesn’t say in five what she can say in one. She’s succinct and an incredible writer. Most of the time. This makes for a quick and satisfying read, with all Bella & Edward’s high highs and low lows feeling familiar and plausible.

CONS:
Too much repetition. In attempt to posit the awkward, clumsy, and so-not-a-supermodel Bella against the suave, uber-hunk vampire Edward, Stephanie Meyer goes too far. My head started to swim after awhile with all the repetition. It’s like this: Bella sees Edward; he’s so handsome and suave and she’s such an awkward clutz! Things are awkward. Then Bella goes home & things with her dad are awkward. Then she goes to school, where, you guessed it, things are awkward. There’s also too much focus on Edward’s good looks. I found it to be clunky and expositional. Edward speaks from ruby red lips and his muscled arms and his chiseled chest, etc. etc. We get it: she’s average at best and he’s just the bee’s knees. We get it.

Also (and this didn’t bother me too much but I feel I have to include it in the “cons” section), I thought that for a downtrodden, sullen, loner with low self-esteem Bella acted awfully rude and arrogant to the kids at her school who were only trying to be nice and befriend her. You can’t get mad that you have no friends and no one understands you when you detach from everyo

I love the story this book unveils. I love that it bacically tells two different stories and brings them together in the end. Sara Gruen out did herself on this one. When I read this book, I could feel what the characters were going through. I could feel their emotions. I felt I was living life with the characters as the book unfolded. This book is very well written. I have referred it to many.

I read this book because a friend mentioned it. Today I slogged through the first 100 pages of
reviews looking for the most negative comments. The only points with which I agreed are that this book is neither Gone With the Wind nor To Kill a Mockingbird. This is a terrific book! Give it a chance.
