Narration During Books The Twilight Collection (The Twilight Saga #1-3)
stephenie meyer, i spit in your general direction. i started the series because they are the obsession of every twelve year-old girl i work with, i finished them because i wanted to be able to condemn them with a clear conscience. i take no issue with explicit vampire lovin', but i cannot stomach such young impressionable minds spooning up the idiocy of this accident prone mortal girl who can't make it through a day without being rescued by her obsession/saviour/boyfriend... who is so beautiful beyond reason that the author had to spend pages upon pages outlining the details of his perfection. barf. the entire second book is about how she's so heartbroken she can't even remember to feed herself. vomit. her life is so messed up because she's in love with a vampire and her best friend the werewolf is in love with her, oh it's all so complicated. retch. her life will just be perfect if only she's made immortal and of course oh so devastatingly beautiful. hurl. she's really a forward thinking girl but somehow ends up married and pregnant at eighteen and couldn't be more delighted. okay, i'm running out of synonyms for throwing up. needless to say, i'm not keen on feeding such garbage to anyone, let alone those who don't have the maturity to see it for what it is- the literary equivalent of a pop-tart laced with cyanide.Be Specific About Books In Favor Of The Twilight Collection (The Twilight Saga #1-3)

I don't think this series is good for young adults because it introduces them to dark things like Vampires and suggests that it's okay (in this series they are friendly and civilized). But once the intrigue with this subject has been placed in the children's minds, they will probably want to read other vampire books which could be scary and dangerous to their spirits (taking away sensitivity to kindness and love). I also think the main character is a terrible role model as she gives into her
Feeling a bit nostalgic...Twilight - Re-read July 14 - July 16, 2014"It's twilight... It's the safest time of the day for us.. The easiest time. But also the saddest, in a way... the end of another day, the return of the night. Darkness is so predictable, don't you think?"'"So ready for this to be the end, for this to be the twilight of your life, though your life has barely started. You're ready to give up everything."Seeing as this was the first vampire book I ever read and was able to enjoy
This review gets five stars only because I have been drawn into the world Meyer has created. Despite all my inner workings I actually like the story. The writing isn't spectacular, but it's the story itself that folds you in and holds you.I'll admit it, I've read the series more than once. The second time was just pure pleasure. I was unwilling to leave the little world Meyer had created. The third (yes I know, I'm letting my nerd flag fly high here!) was to try and figure out WHY I enjoyed it
Everyone has to read this books at least once. My husband even read them with me. He loved them as much as I did. We are anxious for the movie to come out later this year. Stephanie Meyer really helps you picture what is happening. It is very relaxing to read.
This series irritated me. It irritated me that the main character was in such a hurry to become a vampire, without ever even discussing what it would mean to give up kids, public sunlight, and everyone she knows and loves. "I can't live without you" is not a discussion. It irritated me that the author tried to explain vampirism and werewolf-ism away with extra chromosomes. That tends to lead to abnormalities such as Down's syndrome rather than special powers. It irritated me that the heroine's
