“I picked this book up at the library, wondering what the fuss was about. Well, I'm still wondering.
The characters were boring and two-dimensional. It is clearly meant for a younger audience (I'm in my 30's). JK Rowling, who wrote the Harry Potter series is clearly a better writer than Stephanie Meyer, and those books were written for an even YOUNGER audience. I'm tired of female characters in books and movies needing to be rescued and protected. If you want to read a GOOD vampire series, you can never go wrong with any Ann Rice novel, or if you like your Vampire stories light and funny, read the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. Sookie is at least intelligent, and although does at times need rescuing, she does the rescuing herself.
