Title: Does Not Live Up To The Hype
Product review: I simply could not get through this book. Bella's mindless adoration of Edward is a complete turn-off. Is physical attractiveness so supremely important? Characters lack depth. Waiting for the plot to develop is like watching paint dry. I've encountered better writing and characterizations in the much-maligned romance genre than in this book. Unlike J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books, which I feel truly appeal to kids, teens, adults alike, "Twilight" ought to come with a warning to adults to not waste their time ... and a warning to parents that it teaches entirely wrong values to impressionable young teenage girls. I am truly amazed by the immense popularity of this series, given the superficiality of the main characters and the insipid dialogue.
