Not just for teens

I bought the Twilight saga box set earlier, but my order was cancelled due to inability to meet supply and demand so I ended up paying 3 times what I was originally planning on paying for it and I am glad I did. This whole saga was so romantic and magical it made me feel like I was back in highschool again and those feelings of falling in love for the first time. Twilight was my favourite of the 4 books. New Moon was good, but I didn't like the lack of Edward in the beginning of the book. Eclipse was probably my least fave of all the books I mean it was good, but not as exciting as the other books. Breaking Dawn was a surprisingly good ending to the saga although not what I would have expected. It didn't disappoint me as others had said it might. For being in my late 20's I didn't find these books too young. Love the set.

Just for pre-teen girls? Absolutely not!

I started reading these books after my sixteen year old sister left the first one on the coffee table and I picked it up and was immediatley drawn in. Her writing is quite descriptive and you feel like you are in the rainy mysterious Forks ( the town where the book is set) from the first time it's mentioned. The whole cast of characters in the book is interesting. With their description of the incredible love between the main characters and the complications that ensue because of their differences ( human/vampire),these books will definitley tug at your heartstrings. It is a great read for any female, young and old.

Don't be fooled be the first half of the book...it gets a little better

The beginning of this book was boring and drawn out. it was ok, but i found myself skimming through it. It finally got better near the end of the first book. I wouldn't really reccommend them to anyone. (Unless, of course, you are a female aged 12-16, then you would love it.) I'm in my 20's and i found it to be a bit too descriptive and somewhat sickening, such as when the main vampire's beautiful skin is described. Come on!!!! Puke. But i guess it was well written. Just not really my style.

My girls read these books and they couldn't stop talking about them. I was so taken by their passion and enthusiasm that I decided to read them as well. I was have to say that I loved the entire series. I've read them more than once and thoroughly enjoyed every page. These are full of characters that you actually wish you could become friends with. I definitely recommend them as well as The Host by Stephenie Meyer. I guarantee that once you start reading you will not be able to put these books down.

These books are not just for younge people. I bought the first one, Twilight, for my husband for our 'paper' anniversary and no one has been able to put the books down since. Everyone we have recommended/loaned the books to are smitten!!!!!! Amazingly good!
I also recomend Meyer's other novel The Host!
