Is she alright in the head?!
Yes, I am.
I only read the first book on the recommendation of a good friend.
I thought it was just another dumb chick flick, a simple teenage romance, but my friend said there was more to it than on the surface. I read it and loved it. I liked it so much, I was up 'til 3am on a weekday reading it! It was a little hard to function the next day, but it was worth it.
The story is an emotional roller coaster at times, but I didn't mind; this was what the character was feeling and helped explain her motivations.
Overall, I would recommend it to 16 (depends on the maturity level) and older. There is no garbage in it, but some of the situations are for a maturer reader. The coolest thing about the book is that one of the themes is self control. Edward, the vampire, refuses to "sleep" with Bella. Later on in another book, we find out it is because he has old-fashion values and wants to do things in the right order. A chivalrous guy, how cool is that?

So, you weren't kidding about starting to keep this blog up again. I wish I had the time to do likewise. You know how it is though.
...Maybe I could make it something that I do on the weekends...Now there's an idea.
