Reading a good book.

    I just read Twilight (I know I am a few years behind the hype) and I loved it.  Before any of you get on and tell me how bad or amazing the movies are, I don't care.  I have a feeling it is going to take a long time before I see the movies and I read the the book and did not see the movie, there is a difference. 
     I loved how well it was written and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the books.  I would recommend the books to anyone who likes a book that is well written.  (I am told that "The Host" by Stephenie Meyers is much better and I will read that one also)
   I have wanted to read Twilight for a long time but never did partly because everyone was talking about it.  I can say that the first person I know that did read it was my sister and she found the books very early one. 
    Also I knew I would like the books when my brother told the family that he was reading them.  He read them at a time that people that it was strange for a guy to read it because it is a romance  and guys don't read romance novels.  I know she liked the books because they are well written books and the story is a very good story.  The take on vampires is really different and for the first 1/3 of the book Stephenie did not hint that it was going to be a romance with vampires. 
    I am okay with a romance novel that does not have all of the crap in it.  I loved the book Matched by Ally Condie and that is a romance with a twist as well.  All in all I loved Twilight and am looking forward to the rest of the story (as soon as I barrow them from my brother).
