my friend told me although twilight has quite a 'mary-sue' story, stephanie meyer really wrote it very well

content may be not very satisfactory but the language & presentation is good, as i heard

though this could be culture bias, besides anne rice's works i think that kinoko nasu's tsukihime is not bad for vampire stories too but it's just a pity that it's a visual novel (there's translations for it in English though)

It's not fantastic, but it's till quite ok.. It's basically a typical fairytale in which boy meets girl, falls in love, got problem, problem solved and they live happily ever after!

yeah...agreed..the movie is bad. It skips alot of parts (like all book-adapted movies does) .

But, the book.....was....i can't say the best, since i just read Atlas Shrugged. It is not very thought provoking, but the plot was decent and all, with the twists.

I agree on the draggy part. But i'll have to say that the author did a good job on the descriptions ^^

I felt too bored to carry on. I love sophie kinsella's books though

Well Twilight was like the first novel I ever read and I found it great(used to hate books,so maybe its just that I never tried reading thats why its great...)But I found Breaking Dawn excellent due to finally feel how it feels to be a Vampire(through Isabella's point of view...)But the ending was not really good for they kinda build everything up then end it with lets run away...

i love twilight a lot...
however there r goods and bads abt the book...
new moon and eclipse was like a bit draggy... i still like them... and now finishing breaking dawn, i felt tat the author should cut down some lengthy fantasies and maybe go straight to the pt...

the description and writing style no doubt is good... overall, i still find it a good read...

i dont like Twilight too.
edward cullen is too perfect.
their love is too perfect.
not enough action to keep me reading the book.

i stopped after Twilight. no New Moon, no Eclipse, no Breaking Dawn. lol.
