So...during my recovery from this Russian death flu or whatever it is I've been confined to bed, and therefore I've been reading a lot. I decided to order some things on Amazon, and stumbled across the Twilight books. Now, over the years I've heard a LOT about these books....some good, most bad, but I never had an interest in seeing what all the fuss was about until now, with very little else to do. So I read the first one...and I was not impressed at all. Too much "smoldering eyes", and I didn't understand why Bella all the sudden became such a boy magnet when she is supposedly so ordinary, etc. It just read like a mediocre fanfic.
But I have to say I'm glad I continued to read, cause I just finished the second book and I have to say I liked it much better than the first. I did actually feel for Bella, the poor thing...and I found her much more likeable this time around. So while I wouldn't say I am a fan, per se, I did order the third book and I am actually looking forward to reading it.
