I have never understood why so many people like Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver and the other books in that series. I tried to make myself read Quicksilver. I am half way through it, for the third time, and still bored stiff. Yet most people I know loved it.
Harry Potter is pretty easy read, especially the first few books, and good for escaping. Books four through seven do a really impressive job of presenting a much darker, more sinister world. I liked the politics, the manipulation, and the overall manuevering in the book. I thought she did a good job developing deep characters and not just the primary characters.
Over all, I really liked the series. I don't think that it is greatliterature but it is a good read.
I don't get Twilight. I would not have gotten it when I was a teenage girl but I am not a normal teenage girl.
I guess I figure I should enjoy reading what I enjoy reading and let other folks enjoy what they enjoy.
