So I just finished Twilight, and I gotta tell you, I'm not impressed. This is the first book in a series written by Stephenie Meyer, which is a blockbuster of a book, for woman and girls. Don't get me wrong, Stephenie can write, for woman and girls. She puts so much emotional details into her writing that I want to puke. I never did get to a point where I liked Edward, but I did like Emmett. Why you ask? Cause Emmett is the only real man in the book. He's the only vampire who wants to fight to protect Bella. So I said to myself, "Come on Stephenie, let Emmett kill the bad guy". By the way, the bad guy is James. Then, right when I think it might get good, and we'll see (since reading really is seeing in our heads) Emmett tear James to pieces, all we get is the smell of gas and later a burning building. The only "fight scene" was poor Bella being attacked by the big bad James. Whatever happened to revenge sequences? Come on Stephenie! I also thought most of the sissy kissy stuff was kinda...warped. Anyway, Stephenie can obviously write. Since she's sold millions of books it's obvious she knows her audience. My girls LOVE the book and Edward, but it's really not for me. Oh, and any man that liked the book...check yourself. And if you feel I didn't like it because I can't relate...lets see...I'm a cop from the Northwest who's daughter has been seduced by a vampire named Edward.
