Title: Pass on this
Product review: Cajoled into reading this series by a friend who desperately wants to see the movie version with me but wanted me to have a baseline understanding of the original book. Figured I'd give it a read before seeing it at the cinema. Unfortunately I think I need to be 20 years younger to appreciate this book fully. *sigh*The characters have no depth and are predictable. The writing style is not challenging at all... even for the intended age range. While some of the vampire lore concepts are an interested departure from the norm, it's not intriguing enough to save this book.In addition, some of the book club thought provoking questions at the end of the book mentioned that 'Twilight' was inspired by 'Pride & Prejudice'. Having just read 'Pride & Prejudice' for the first time, I don't think this text came close to a shadow of it.
