Twilight - Too bad it's not an R-rated book!
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Ok...I'm a guy that likes to read so when I started seeing the book on the shelves of bookstores, I couldn't help myself from picking it up. Now, I'm not into sappy love books, drama and be-all-you-can-be books but the storyline caught my attention. The book is a very easy read, so I was able to complete the first book pretty fast.
I checked into Stephanie Meyer's Biography and I saw that she attended Brigham Young University. I'm assuming that she is of the Mormon Faith. That immediately had me thinking. It's obvious that Meyers had to waterdown most of the book's racy themes. I realize that she is trying to "re-invent" the vampire mystique but I was left with the need of more action and grittiness (sp).
I know what you are thinking...."It's about a love story (romeo and juliet), more than a vampire story". The story is pretty good but lacks in the blood/gore that would have made the book 10x more readable to the avarage person.
With the movie coming out on Novemeber 21st, I am looking forward to see what Catherine Hardwicke the director does with the film. I'll be there in the middle "Twilight Mania" on the 21st. No, I won't be dressed like a vampire but I will be sure and get a kick out of seeing all the freaks that come out that night.
