This is a review of Book 3 of Meyer's "Twilight" Series. I have read the previous two, but in keeping with only reviewing stuff I've recently seen / read I'll stick with Book 3.
If it's teen drama as well as a national sensation then you can be pretty sure that I'm going to check it out... Hell I've seen High School The Musical 1 & 2 (and I'll probably check out 3 to complete the voyage when it hits DVD). The "Twilight" Series is no exception. I'll admit I haven't seen the movie yet. Mostly because I can't get anyone to go with me and it would be super creepy for a man in his late 20s to go to this movie alone. Mothers would be clutching their daughters close or at the very least pointing to me and then warning them to "avoid that man". Regardless, I started reading the book in December and recently finished this 3rd book of the series. The first one was really good. It melded supernatural with some of the best teen melodrama I've seen in a while. So, if the first book rivaled the writing of the second season of "Dawson's Creek" or "Freaks and Geeks" then this third installment was "Saved by the Bell - The College Years". I swear it could have been ghostwritten by the writers of "General Hospital" or "Swan's Crossing" (for those who remember that). Add to that the title of the book came from one of the most groan-inducing dialogues is evidence that Meyer should have found a way to wrap this up in Book 1 rather than diving in to a pile of money Scrooge McDuck style with the ensuing 3 books. If I haven't made it clear it's awful... And I'll probably be reading book 4 soon just to appease my need to finish series that I've started.
