Let me preface this review by saying I was convinced I’d hate this book. Why? I believed that it could not live up to the hype, and I misjudged it by believing it would be a blood-sucking, trashy novel chock full of teen hook-ups and backstabbing. Plus, I am 30. Could I really relate to this? Well, I was proven wrong on all fronts, delightedly. I had the entire series read in less than two weeks, staying up into the wee hours of the morning reading and reading on my lunch break at work. What I came to like about this series is the originality of Meyers’s vampire world, a realistic heroine, and a basic plot line that most people can relate to, mainly first love. I couldn’t rate it 5 stars because Meyers’s style lacks some of the sophistication I look for in a 5 star novel, and there was one aspect of the Bella-Edward relationship that I found particularly unnerving.
First, Meyers’s vampire world is quite original. Without getting into details, the Cullen family is a vampire family that struggles to maintain a normal and moral lifestyle despite their nature. They have a deep respect for humans and strive to retain their own humanity. This brings up the interesting idea that one can rise above whatever his origin may be, good or bad. She also handles the nuances of vampire folklore in interesting ways.
I enjoyed Bella Swan as the protagonist. She is not a picture-perfect, popular beauty queen heroine; she is shy, reserved, likable, intelligent, but not without her own insecurities and a light dose of teen sarcasm, angst, and rebellion. I can see how she would appeal to the average female reader of her age. Looking at the YA series out there targeting young women, most have to do with wealthy, popular, and perfect looking female heroines. It is refreshing to encounter a heroine like Bella.
I would venture to say that the reason this series appeals to an audience of all ages is due mostly to its focus on first love and the pursuit of true love. Readers who enjoy roma

The Twilight Saga (all 4 books) are the best books I ever read. I have never had books keep me attention so fully. I ended up reading the whole series in a matter of 3 weeks. I read every chance I got. I would highly recommend these books to any female.

Beware: Bargain Cell has poor (meaning rude, arrogant and unhelpful) customer service. Be prepared to wait a good week for your order to arrive – and for them to patronize and not assist if that is too late for your needs.
I paid more here for this charger b/c of Amazon’s reliable reputation and didn’t realize this purchase is purely sub-contracted to Bargain Cell, who are awful. I’ll be sure to never buy from them again and will research to see if I’m actually buying from Amazon or someone else in the future.
