I bought this for my eleven year old granddaughter to play with while she spends time with me, but I find that it also keep me busy playing her games when she is not here.

This must be by far the worst book I ever laid hands on! I took so much effort to finish this book, when I just wanted to toss it in the fire. The characters are absolutely depthless, and the relationship between Edward and Bella is appalling. I do not know why Stephanie Meyer, being a woman would create such a weak, whiny, insecure and utterly dependent lead female character. And on top of that she created a psychotic/stalker boyfriend for Bella. I do not know about you, but this doesn’t look like the healthiest of relationships to me. The dialogue of this book makes me want to shoot someone. If all the “I love you/I cannot live without you” nonsense was taken off, I bet there wouldn’t be a book. Anyway, do not waste your money on this ghastly piece of literature (What has happened to literature nowadays??)

I tried to use this as an extra lan segment on a Windows 2008 server. The drivers seemed to load but never passed traffic. The $12 TrendNet USB-Ethernet dongle I have does work on Win2008, but is way slow (like only 5 mpbs).

In the Twilight series, Stephenie Meyer has created a modern day, fantasy Romeo and Juliet with a enchanting twist that makes your heart melt. The first book, Twilight, starts out the saga with Edward and Bella meeting and falling in love. Amidst the romantic love story between a vampire and a human, there is drama and action. Bella also unwillingly becomes the love interest of one of her classmates and an American Indian (who later becomes a werewolf). But that’s the least of her worries as three visiting vampires suddenly take a special interest in her, and not in a good way. As Edward’s love for Bella grows, being a vampire isn’t the only worry he has. He and his family, who lovingly take the young human in, must battle these three vampires and save Bella’s life. Stephenie is very creative in her descriptions of the vampires as well as making them each unique. The story ends with Bella making the decision that she wants to become a vampire, tormenting Edward who cannot live with the idea of condemning her to his fate.

The present-day idea of love is that it can only last if there’s an immediate sexual relationship, especially when it comes to teenage love. Stephenie manages to show that love can exist regardless. This book is captivating and untainted by movies’ portrayal of love and sex being conjoint. If you’re a sucker for a real love story, Twilight is a great read.
