Reading Twilight is a little bit like drinking a big pitcher of watered-down Kool-Aid: after you drink it you realize it would’ve been much more satisfying to stick with a smaller quantity of higher quality.

Going into the story, it’s expected that the book is going to be a sweet young adult novel, nothing too unexpected. But then when you sit down and read it you get the feeling someone’s playing a joke on you… such great reviews for such a weak drawn-out story?

The first three-quarters of the book are for the most the protagonist lamenting about how she’s clumsy, doesn’t like Forks, that the Cullens (especially Edward) are beautiful, and that she herself is nothing special. Personally, I would have enjoyed Twilight Condensed much more…it’s an interesting enough premise, the execution was just disappointing.
