hey, why not a book review?

You can't judge a book by its cover. Conveniently, I really am talking about a book. Who hasn't heard of the Stephenie Meyer series Twilight? Oh yes that is what I'm talking about. Some who read this may have just felt a flutter in their stomach at the thought of Edward Cullen. Others may have just thrown up a little bit in their mouth. Nonetheless, this is my topic. I'm going to try to even the score on this book.

Let me start by saying that I hated the Twilight books to begin with. Oh how I hated the stupid facebook bumper stickers. "Edward Cullen, BITE ME!" "I love Twilight!" Blah blah blah. Very bluntly, I thought the book sounded like the dumbest thing ever. Girl falls in love with a vampire but... he's a vampire! Whatever. They love eachother but he's going to live forever and she's not, and when is he going to suck her blood. This was my logic. I thought a stupid mainstream book like this was totally not worth my time.

Needless to say I ended up reading the first book, Twilight. I'm not going to say that I've been converted, that i've seen the light and the genius of this book. Frankly, I don't think it's a work of art or anything. No real revelations here. I'm also not saying that it sucks either. I liked it... alright, I liked it a lot :D It's is a very good book! It's good because it doesn't feel like you are reading a vampire book. i wouldn't even label it as that. It is more of a romance, a drama, an adventure. They rarely even refer to sucking blood or even use the term vampire. And I must admit that the Edward Cullen character is attractive but the mania around him is just too much.

I would recommend this book for any girl who is looking for a good, easy read. Guys may not be too psyched about it though. It did not take me that long to get through and I'm happy I did. It really did keep me turning pages. Apparently they're coming out with a movie of this book in November and I read an article that hints at sequals too. I hope you guys don't judge this book like I did because you just may be missing a good read.
