I recently read an article that discussed how more adults are reading young adult fiction than ever before. I trace this back to the amazing Harry Potter books by J.K Rowling.
I became one of these such adults this weekend, when I finally read book one of the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. I was skeptical when I started reading…I didn’t think I would be drawin in, but not 20 pages in and I was hooked.
Seventeen year-old Isabella moves to a small town in Washington. A quiet, dull, boring town, so she thinks. That is, until she meets Edward, a classmate of hers that just happens to be a vampire. Edward’s “coven” aren’t just any ordinary vampires–they’ve given up feasting on human blood and instead decide to hunt animals.
The romance and suspense draw the reader in immediately. The descriptive language captivates the reader…no matter their age.

Hey Jenn, love your blog. I think I will get this book out from the library again and give it another go. Reading your review makes me want to read it again. Plus it is a series and I always like those.
I think a lot of the YA books are perfect for the older generation. There are a lot of really good stories and characters to enjoy.
