This book produced beautiful imagery and was a delight to read! The little bit of magic entailed with reality was a wonderful escape. I cannot wait to read more from this author.

While the Twilight series is a good idea I find the writing itself lacking. I read all four books in a matter of a few days and if it had taken me longer I think I would have just stopped reading them. They're entertaining but they're far below the quality reading that Harry Potter provides. I don't recommend them to others unless you're a fast reader and you don't mind wasting a few hours of your time. With that said, I DO recommend Stephenie Meyer's "The Host," where her writing has improved immensely. That is a book I'd actually read again. I will never read The Twilight series again--in general it's a good idea, but the execution is lacking.

This was required reading in high school and I've liked it ever since. Ten years after first reading it, I tracked down a copy at a local thrift shop and re-read it. The afterword by Elaine R. Hedges puts a whole new spin on it--I saw where the author drew from in order to write this piece. Good, solid writing.
