Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1) Review

The beginning almost caused me to close the book; 3-4 pages about Bella's vehicle (that has nothing to do with the storyline, by the way). Then, after several pages of nonsensical ranting about Bella's life (instead of skillful character development), Edward Cullen entered the story. At this point, I thought "Finally something interesting for the storyline".. Nope. Wrong.

Edward Cullen and Bella Swan were the two most boring protagonists of ANY book series that I've ever read. Their lack of personality is quite conspicuous from the onset. Likewise, Edward's strange behavior upon entry caused me to stop reading for two weeks, but I picked it back up, anticipating a plot.

It turns out that I didn't get that expected PLOT; instead, I acquired 200 pages of nothing (inept character development), 150 pages of cliche romantic exchanges (which went out of style after Shakespeare's literature era long ago), and the remainder of the book was the poorly executed endeavor of plot construction.

"Twilight" is a pitiful book, to state the least. I recommend keeping your money and not using it so foolishly to purchase Stephanie Meyer's books.
