I did go on to read the rest of the series so it must have been ok! I'm definitely older than the target audience though!Susan T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10275902011437565283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368699999376978668.post-14135841958167977792012-03-29T21:09:55.473-05:002012-03-29T21:09:55.473-05:00I really like the books (except for the 4th one) a...I really like the books (except for the 4th one) and watched the movies (not all that great, but fun & enjoyable).<br />I think a lot of ppl expect too much of this series. All these comparisons being drawn between Twilight and Harry Potter or The Hunger Games? Imo, that makes no sense. The latter are much more complex, have more depth, so of course the movies will be slightly more "artsy" (for lack of a better word). As in: better actors & such.<br /><br />I should also add...normally I'm not much of a pnr YA fan. I prefer YA contemporary. I mostly read adult books.<br /><br />I think its perfectly normal to LOVE a book at age 15 & feel differently abt it years later. When I started reviewing I became waaaay more critical. That plays a big role as well. A book I couldn't put down "back then" might end up with a "3 star" rating today.<br /><br />_yay_ @ <a href="http://bookthatthing.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">BookthatThing!</a>_yay_https://www.blogger.com/profile/14262878337387372678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368699999376978668.post-78251226314266167312012-03-27T23:44:27.772-05:002012-03-27T23:44:27.772-05:00I read all of the books as soon as they came out a...I read all of the books as soon as they came out and I have seen the movies. I loved the books at the time, think the movies are pretty lame, but I just have to see them all. It's some weird pull. After reading your review, I am thinking I may read the books again myself. I am curious to see if and how my views may have changed. I have read so many genuinely amazing books since then (Daughter of Smoke and Bone, to name one), and I am interested in how Twilight would stand up in my mind now.

The way you feel about this book is exactly how I feel. I think the only difference was I was ten when I first read this book.. I'm not sure what I loved about Twilight when I was younger maybe it was the sparkling vampire thing or maybe I thought Edwards possessiveness was cute? I don't know. All I do know is Twilight is a guilty pleasure of mine. I don't especially like the movies or books, it's just something that's in my life. Does that make sense?hbjgvhuogyihpohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423921074285441384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368699999376978668.post-41174306757443072152012-03-27T19:40:57.064-05:002012-03-27T19:40:57.064-05:00@Lalaine: It was actually my review. ;)
