15 Oct 2006 | The forbidden fruit

A while ago, I swore to myself that I would write less of these book, movie, and music reviews, but as you can see, this invariably resulted in failure… thanks to my overconfidence in my own willpower. At any rate, here is a lengthy review on Stephenie Meyer’s young adult novel, Twilight. (Prepare to be bored out of your minds.)
When I first picked up this book at the behest of my friend, S-chan, I was both intrigued and fascinated by its premise: an average teenage girl, Bella, moves to a new town, meets an “exquisitely beautiful” boy, falls in love with him, and later comes to the realization that her beloved is a vampire.
