I was walking to Barnes and Noble Cafe during my break at work to get a cookie when I spotted a poster for this book. Although I feel it is anti-masculine or something to admit that I am a Twilight fan, I am a huge one and I had to buy this book. To be honest, it seems like a lame attempt for Stephenie Meyer to make more money. It is interesting as a Twilight fan, but it is nowhere near as engaging as the full length Twilight novels were.

Having also finished Breaking Dawn today, I feel that Meyer left us with closure but it would still be possible for her to write another Twilight novel and I know that I would certainly be buying it if/when she does decide to write it.

Hopefully it will get more engaging as I continue. But so far I wish I would have re-read Eclipse instead.

This book was great! I am not usually big on suspense/thriller books but I really enjoyed this one. In Never Look Away, Linwood Barclay keeps the reader turning the pages. It is very suspenseful although slightly cliche.

For the most part I was surprised at what developed, but some of it was super predictable. Fortunately I’m not a proactive reader who tries to figure it out, I just read it for enjoyment.

Anyone who wants a quick engaging read should check this one out.

So I’ve decided that I’m going to start reviewing books that I read so that I can keep track of those that I like and don’t like.

Most recently I picked up A Dark Matter by Peter Straub. I read about 1/4 of it and just couldn’t get into it. So I gave up.

Now I am on to Never Look Away by Linwood Barclay. So far it’s a much better experience, his writing flows a lot better.
