Why can't people just enjoy a good book!

Personally, I tried very hard to resist Twilight. I generally don't go for Young Adult Lit., and I generally don't go for fads. But, I gave in. And I am not ashamed to say, I loved it! I love all the books. What I don't get is why people cannot just take these books for what they are...stories. I highly doubt Stephanie Meyer was aiming at the Pulitzer Prize when writing this series. So, why does every pretentious wanna be book critic on here have to rip them apart for not being literary masterpieces? Why can't people just enjoy a good book because it is that...a good book? Maybe there are some crazies out there who feel like they can never fall in love with a real man now that they have met Edward Cullen. But so what? There are always going to be people who think fictional lives are better than their own lives. That doesn't take away from what these books are. GOOD STORIES; a good escape from the everyday boredom of life. Isn't that what books are supposed to be? If the only reason you read a book is because you are waiting to rip it apart, you should just quit reading. Reading is entertainment, and these books are highly entertaining. I think Meyer's should get her props and everyone should just shut up about the supposed lack of literary merit.

A good "fictional" read

I loved this book. I am approx. 30 yrs old and was given this book as a birthday gift rom my 16 yr old cousin. She raved about how great the book was and that I would really like it. I took it and never thought about it until I needed something to do at work (other than work). I really got caught up in the fantasy that Meyer's portrayed. I noticed that alot of the 1 and 2 star reviews focus on the reality of the situation and the lack of Bella's positive image for young girls. I did not see it that way. I believe that when you read a book, you have to fully engulf yourself in the world that the author is creating. If you can do this and put all comparison's to "real life" aside, then you will love this book. I loved that this book was romantic, but not too detailed that I could not read a few lines to my nine year old daughter, Taylor. She loved it too and we are both anticipating the movie, which comes out a day before her 10th birthday.

Blown away

I usually read Thriller/Romance Novels. Heard about this saga in my used book store and never dreamed I'd read this type of story but so glad I did. I absolutely loved it. Never have I finished a book in 2 days but its true I could not set it down. I carried it everywhere I went.
I was holding my breath at the end. Stephenie is an amazing writer. Can't wait to start the next one. By the way I'm 60.

A must read.

When I first heard of the book I wasn't sure if I wanted to read it. I'm an avid fan of Anne Rice and I was really apprehensive on reading this series. But when I got through the first book I could not wait to read the next one. I recommend this book to anyone that would like this kind of genre. It has its own glamour and suspense that captures you till the end. Its no where as good as Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles but it's still a must read.
