Let’s start with the obvious, the books are no literary works of art. It’s a teenage love romance that yes, involves vampires. It’s a compelling story that kept me entertained and interested. I finished the two books in 12 days.The primary characters: Bella, completely helpless and hopeless – yes, but she is human to me. Edward Cullen, the vampire – is perfect! And you are reminded constantly how perfect he is throughout the book, but who wouldn’t want a vampire boyfriend like Edward?
The other characters are enjoyable and I appreciate that the books don’t delve too deeply into each one. These books are not about lengthy character development. Remember who these books are written for. Also, certain details are limited, so one needs to use their own imagination. Which I think may make watching the movie very difficult.
The books are filled with several clichés and can become incredibly cheesy and it appears that it’s just going to get cheesier and I LOVE it! I did find myself very frustrated that that Bella and Edward could barely kiss, but it makes the characters innocent.
I think one
of the reasons I found the books compelling, is in one way or another you can relate to the story (leaving out the whole supernatural stuff) and the emotions of the characters.I am definitely enjoying the books way more than I thought I would and I am hooked! Overall, I think the books are fabulous. It’s a quick read and I think anyone can enjoy them (you do not need to be a teenager or a vampire fan). Every now and then you just need this kind of mind candy. I can’t wait for 3 and 4.
