More Vampires...

The Front was a very quick read. It was okay, but I prefer the Scarpetta books. I am now reading New Moon, the book that follows Twilight. Twilight was a quick read for such a long book, so I figure I will sail through this one and make my decision on the third.

I didn't post about but did read several Robert Crais books in the past little while. I also read the new Artemis Fowl book (The Time Paradox). I really liked that one. I think Eion Colfer is one of the best writers for youth. Clever, funny, well-written and engaging. It is also original.

5 Billion Adolescent Girls can't be wrong?.....

Just read Twilight. Not bad, but not great. It picked up at the end but there was little suspense until the last third and the dialogue is so stiff and unrealistic. Quite a bit of over-writing, but the target audience might like that. I bought the second book and if that fails to thrill me I will stop there.

I am reading Patrica Cornwell's The Front now.
