Outside Reading #22

It's seemed when the move Twilight was coming out, every girl I talked to had read it and had loved it. I was the only girl I knew who hadn't read it, but I didn't really understand how a book about a deathly pale vampire who could kill you easily would sound appealing. I decided I would go watch the movie and see if I liked the plot before taking the time to read a 500 page book. The movie was okay, but there were some parts a bit too predictable. I still didn't have any desire to pick the book up, but I had to admit, I felt left out. So, I borrowed my neighbor's book and packed it with me to the lake for Christmas. I started the book Christmas afternoon and just finished it today during my 5 hour car trip back home. I thought the book was...alright. I finally understand why every girl  loves Edward Cullen, but I don't get why there were so many great reviews about the book. I didn't think Stephenie Meyer is that good of a writer. Her language seem very simple, and I don't think she did good in the category of "voice". I have not decided if I want to continue reading the rest of the books in the series. I could be reading something more intriguing, but I am interested in reading more about Edward and seeing how him and Bella turn out.
