Book Corner: Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

1/3 Really Good Book, 2/3 Why Does This Exist?

This book has had me at a loss for several years now.  I've heard so many negative things about it that kept me away, yet at the same time, people whose opinions I respect all say that it was a perfectly fine or even "good" series of books.  Two of my friends, fellow authors, actually love the series highly.  So here I've been all these years, unable to reconcile this conflicting information.  How can such smart and highly creative people love something so bad?  I knew even back then when the Twilight craze was at its peak that I'd be reading the first book of the series one day to appraise it firsthand.  Here's that review.

Twilight is a mixed bag, that's for sure.  After struggling through the first 25% of the book, I was certain that I would be giving it a 1 star by the end.  That feeling stretched on well past the halfway point of the book.  This is mainly due to the spotlight here being on Edward and Bella's dull, slow, tease of a relationship if you could even call it that because it was mostly just Bella being desperate for the attention and affection of male model Edward Cullen whose appearance she couldn't go more than one paragraph commenting on.

So, we get to the major problem with the book, the two main characters.  Boring Bella, Bland Edward, and their unappealing romance.
