I gave this a go to see what all the hype was about and why people (teenagers AND adults) are so obsessed with the story.
It was an OK book I suppose and if I’m honest I probably would have lapped it up when I was about 15/16 which is pretty much the target market. However I’m a good decade (or so) beyond that so can only give it an ‘OK’ but I guess I can see what’s so appealing about it, vampire stories will ALWAYS be popular, especially if you throw it at hormonal teenagers.
In relation to other reviews about the style of the writing I actually welcomed the simple style. It was a nice break from some of the try hard writing you can see, overloaded with meaning and missing the point which is to tell a good story.
