Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer (on CD)

So, I heard the author on NPR a few weeks ago talking about her new (adult) novel. They mentioned the series begun by this book and since it's been on reserve perpetually forever, I figured I'd give it a try.

It's not bad. OK, it's actually very good--although I was not in love with the person reading it--in fact, it's quite subversive for a YA novel. All about self-control and doing the right thing out of love in spite of a lot of reasons not to do the right thing; sometimes the right thing is against one's very nature. Interesting.

As a love story...meh, I'm not thrilled with it, however.

Did I mention the vampires? Oh. There are vampires.
