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.
