The first book ("Twilight") was addicting. Stephanie Meyer definitely draws you in from page one. I wanted to know more about her characters, the world she was creating. I wanted to know what parts of vampire lore she was keeping and what she wasn't (good call on the coffins).
However, all the comparisons to Harry Potter? Unwarranted, at least so far. Harry Potter is (in my opinion) a much better written book where the world seems more developed. I care for the characters more than just the main three- I care for side characters who come in and out. In Twilight, I am glad she has friends at school but I am not yet invested in them. Maybe as I get into book two (New Moon), my opinion will change. I'll let you know.
On a side note- the Twilight movie? Definitely teeny bopper; I watched it with my roommate on Saturday night and we couldn't stop laughing. Awkward glace here, staring there... lines straight from the book that were slightly cheesy there and much worse on screen. However, if I was truly 13, I probably would eat it up.
Have you caved? Have you read this 4 part saga yet?
