This was a very fun book to read. I found myself identifying with a theme that the author may or may not have meant to exist. I found this book to be easy to read and the characters were simple, yet intriguing. I was torn between falling for and condemning the protagonists. The love story is fantastical, but lacks depth. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it; it was entertaining. For Stephenie Myer's first novel, quite the triumph. I don't think you can quite target it at any particular age group. Rather, this story works for anyone who enjoys romance with a hint of ominousness. I for one do not generally seek out novels such as "Pride & Prejudice" (which this novel is obviously contriving great portions of it's influence from) but I did enjoy it.
