Introduction

Twilight is, at its base, a romance novel. If you don’t like sappy mushy lovey-dovey stuff, than I strongly suggest you don’t read this book. If you like novels with complex style, than I strongly suggest you don’t read this book. If you like more than just a great story, I strongly suggest you don’t read this book. And finally if you get offended when mythologies are twisted, than I strongly suggest you don’t read this book.

By now you probably believe that i did not enjoy reading “Twilight.” You are wrong. Twilight is a love story for someone who likes a little action. Its theme is timeless and its ideas are good. The story of Edward and Bella is one of action and above all, love. It’s very obviously a story with a demographic in mind. I’m not going to rate this novel because it is a novel that will only appeal to a certain type of reader and it’s not fair to rate something that is so easily argued.

Critiques

This list is long but most are trivial and don’t distract from the story. The writing is awkward. Stephanie Meyer uses language that is very pedantic. She uses words that don’t fit with the style in order to create the appearance of incredible intelligence. The characters are shallow and easy to predict. I HATE BELLA SWAN!!! Edward is so full of contradictions that I don’t think Stephanie Meyer Knows who Edward is. The dialogue is cliché and cheesy…. Whew!…. Now that that’s over… Let’s move on.

Praises

This story is great for young girls, or young men if they prefer a tale of love over a tale of action (Like me). It’s very easy to become sucked into the story and not want to put the book down. It is engaging. the themes are very timeless and easily comprehended. It’s a darn good story with some excitement and some suspense.

Finally

Read this book if you are a young girl, a Romantic, or love a great story.

Do not read this if you hate mushy love, hate simplicity, or hate twisted mythology.
