Ok, so I have to admit I went into this book with a bit of apprehension after reading the back summary. Aliens? Mind Reading? Stephenie, what have you written about? I am a fan of the Twilight series so I wanted to see if the author had what it takes to write another book, or if the Twilight books were it for her, her lucky break.
Well, let me first say that I did enjoy the book. It suprised me how even though the storyline is not something I would usually go for but it was written well. You did get into the storyline and enjoyed all the events that occured. You even did want to hurry up to find out what happened next.
But, on the negative side which I think Stephenie does have a problem with are her male characters. She tends to write them as how we wish they were, not how they are in reality. I know it's good for teenagers as they still dream about the white knight coming to rescue them, but for a woman in her late 20's, you tend to roll your eyes and say "yeah right, like that would happen". But I have to give the author credit for the female character, as she made her strong and fiery, which was a nice change from the clumsy weak character in Twilight.
So, should you read this? Yes, but only if your in the mood for something easy which will stimulate you but not to the point of leaving a lasting impression.
