I finished The Twilight Series!
I was so curious about this series. Anything that draws teenagers to camp out at bookstores to buy a book has to be a good read, right?
People are comparing Stephanie Meyer to J.K. Rowling. I don't know who those people are... I just heard talk about it. I have never cracked a book in the Harry Potter series and I don't really plan on it anytime soon. I will if my kids ever show interest. The witch school stuff just does not appeal to Abbey. She would rather read about animals.
All I can say about the vampire series is that I had a definite love-hate relationship with it. Sure, it was a page turner... and I eagerly finished one book and started the next. Thanks so much to my little sis for buying me the series for Christmas!
In my opinion... and like I said I have never read the Harry Potter series but I can say that it is probably an insult to J.K. Rowling to have people compare Stephanie Meyer to her. That would be like me writing a detective novel and comparing myself to my favorite author Sue Grafton. Stephanie.. you ain't bad but you are NOT in the same league as J.K. Rowling... the writing is way to simple. Yes , you have a very vivid imagination and I would say you did some research for your books.
I do not appreciate the message you send out to young teenage girls about how falling in love with the perfect boy is worth giving up your family, friends, and soul for.
In the end I was ok with the way the book ended. I don't think the last book is really that suitable for young teenage girls. It was more of an adult novel. Lots of blood, gore and sex.
I don't regret reading this series and one day I will let Abbey have the choice to read it. Probably not until she is 16. In my opinion it is not really suitable for anyone younger than that.
