I picked up a copy of Twilight because, like so many people, I had heard all the hype, seen the movie previews, even have some friends who have read it and loved it, etc. Like others who have written a review here, I’m outside of the target demographic, but a good book should be readable by any age group, any gender, and any education level. This is not a good book. I got through chapter 3 and had to put it down. Everything is irritating about this novel.

One reason I wanted to read the book is that I’d heard people saying that it taught young women that it’s all right to be stalked, as long as the guy loves you. That women need to be protected because they can’t take care of themselves. I couldn’t argue the point if I had not read it for myself.

I just received the hoover tempo vacuum today [model u5140900) so I’ll need to add an additional review later after I’ve used it a few more times for cleaning my home. What I want to call out today is that if you purchase this vacuum it is not the one with “select model features” = check bag indicator, headlight, or embedded dirtfinder (red/green light highlights areas that may need more cleaning. Based upon running the vaccuum for the first time today I think that I will still be VERY pleased with the purchase especially for the price but I don’t want anyone to be disappointed.

I absolutely love this series. Sure it’s meant for teenagers, but I am a 33 year old mom of 2 and I just love it.
