 Wonderful Book January 8, 2009

I just loved this book. Most people read the book before they go see the movie but I did just the opposite. This book has the adventure and the wonderful romance. The passion between Bella and Edward is so real and forbidden. I have recomended this book to all the ladies where I work, I just cannot stop raving about it.
 Entertaining for all ages January 7, 2009

I have always wanted to read the book, even way before the movie,...and finally, i went out one night, saw the movie, fell in love, bought this book, fell in love even more, and I am about to buy the rest of the series. This is the type of book you CAN NOT put down. All I could think about, was what was gonna happen next!??!!?!?
I recommend reading it. Its Great.

I was really able to get right in to this book & read it straight through in one sitting. It had the pull that made it feel near impossible to put the book down at the end of any of the chapters to take a break. The end of each chapter ended on such a note as to make you highly curious about what was about to happen. I'm 24, so I'm outside the YA rating, but still found it to be a good read. However, some word choices just didn't fit with the rating or the book in general; they took away from the book and made it seem childish, which didn't suit any of the characters (which came off as fairly mature high schoolers). Quite possibly the worst offender was "sparkle".
In any case, the book was a good read. I thought the characters were well thought out and well portrayed through the words. Each character's story was rolled out such that it paves the way for their involvements in the future books. The only major thing I found lacking was that the book seemed a little short for all of the information that was crammed into it. It seemed like there wasn't enough time to get a feel for the characters when there was so much other information being thrown in to support future storylines. Beefing up the novel enough to give a good balance to both character development and information passage would have made for more depth in the novel. There were a lot of really good events that went on, and the author should have taken advantage of that to go more in depth with each, creating a richer story.
The end of the book was good, but at the same time very abrupt. We finally get to where we're getting some decent plotline with the characters (sadly it was nearly the end of the book when this happened, rather than opening slowly over the course of the whole book) and suddenly everything appears to just fall apart (if you read the book 2 "preview" at the end). While this book was good, it really had a feel that it was aimed for very young teens, almost pre-teen age range, rather than young adult in general. As a general note, this book reminded me (several times, in several ways) of the HBO series "Tru Blood".
