Was it just me, or did it seem like there was really no beginning, middle or end. I felt like I just read for awhile and then it was over. Very strange book.johnsonapdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09977065341256038247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201387387312530694.post-35808597113773698252008-03-10T21:23:00.000-04:002008-03-10T21:23:00.000-04:00I think this is one of those LOVE it or HATE it bo...I think this is one of those LOVE it or HATE it books. I read it last year while on vacation and pretty much had the exact same reaction as you.

I liked both of those so I thought it was worth a shot. Stick with your gut.<BR/><BR/>Becky: I read through the plots of the others on Wikipedia and it did seem to me that I would probably like them better. I agree, strange to have the number 2 book be the best. Truth be told, if I had read New Moon before Twilight I don't think I would be as impressed with the series. It does make me realize how pacing a series is really critical to its success.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09701299201863734003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201387387312530694.post-64715854134911389772008-03-09T15:41:00.000-04:002008-03-09T15:41:00.000-04:00I had the exact same reaction.

It was really odd that the second of a series would do what the first failed so utterly to do. But it did. The third one though didn't meet my expectations. So I'm not sure I would even have the nerve to suggest you finish the series. But for me at least the second one was well worth the time spent.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793618692608823102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201387387312530694.post-33927567700508387442008-03-09T04:59:00.000-04:002008-03-09T04:59:00.000-04:00It's funny you didn't like this book, because I've...It's funny you didn't like this book, because I've picked it up in the bookstore numerous times, but was never inclined to actually purchase it. Now you've verified what my gut was telling me! Thanks! :Dtrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688001590373132381noreply@blogger.com
