it's like being in high school all over again. read it.
i literally started the book on the bus-part of my commute to school this morning (got 25 minutes of reading in), continued it on the BART-part of my commute back home this afternoon (another 30 minutes of wordage), and then changed into my favorite sweats and tank, got myself a diet coke, and plopped my rear in the most comfortable position i've ever felt on the couch and read.
i finished the book by 7pm. it's that interesting.
did you ever read L.J. Smith's "Vampire Diaries" when you were in highschool? it's like that. angsty and teenager, with concepts of love no 17 year old could possibly understand... but i think it's that forbidden aspect of it that makes it all the better.
i've always enjoyed these types of books. the ones that take complete fantasy and blend it into the mundane. and this book is also set in washington, which was another huge plus for me. it's funny because i've been wanting to go hiking in the olympic national forest, and was briefly considering doing that during my trip up to seattle in 2 weeks, and then i read this book, where that's most of what they do is hike in the olympics. made me miss washington all the more.
and you've just got to love that stephenie meyers was basically unheard of by the reading world before this series. and then one day, bam, she's the newest j.k. rowling. amazing.
anyhow, substance wise, hey, it's a teenage book, okay? it's not the next piece of great american literature. if you want entertainment and a good love story, pick it up. if you're looking for deep characters and huge personality development, probably not your bag.
i will mention that they're turning this in to a movie. and the actor who plays cedric diggory in harry potter and the goblet of fire will be playing our vampire hero.
dreamy.
