To my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed Twilight. While the writing was a little clunky at times, and the dialogue a little two-dimensional, I thought that it was a fun, bracing read. If I had come across it a few years earlier, perhaps when I was between the ages of 11 and 16 (which seems to be the niche market for Twilight, no disrespect to anyone outside that bracket), I might have adored it. As it was, I was able to overcome my initial misgivings in order to enjoy it for what it was - a nice little teen romance, with vampires thrown in for good measure.
