Twilight

I know you must be tired of hearing about the amazing new vampire saga, "Twilight", by Stephenie Meyer. Well, guess what? You're gonna get to hear about it some more! Really though, the books are great. Meyer uses a lot of detail, and she's skilled at making good, funny, enjoyable dialog. It's like realistic fiction within a fantasy, which are my two favorite book genres.
When my friends started reading Twilight, and then everyone at my school followed suit, I decided to check it out at the library. I read it in a week (which is actually pretty slow for the average bookworm/twilight nerd), and my mom was impressed. I really enjoyed it! After reading a few other books, I picked up New Moon, the second book in the saga. It was good too, but not nearly as good as the first. Most people will agree with me on this because Edward (the main vampire whom the main non-vampire character had fallen in love with) was not in most of the book. Anyway, I just started Eclipse, the third book in the series, about a week ago. It's just as good as the first, and I'm eager to find out how all of the problems are solved at the end of it.
Another thing I really like about Twilight is the fact that it has a good amount of romance...the kind of romance I like. Normally I can't sit through a romance movie or book for ten minutes or less. I love action movies that have a little bit of romance (star wars and national treasure, for example). Twilight is different because the way Meyer illustrates the romance is perfect, and I go "awww..." instead of cringing. It's really sweet and touching.
If you haven't read any Twilight, I suggest you at least try it, even if fantasy is not your thing. Really, it's a story about a bunch of normal people and seven very....not normal people...and their struggles. That's an awfully bad way to describe it, but trust me...the books are good. And the vampires are too.
