I was a sceptic once but now I am SO glad I gave it a chance. B8C approved this system on their Newsnight programme a while back.
My little boy got given this book for CHristmas last year and loves it so much that I could probably quote it all the way through, I've read it so often. Okay, there's not a strong story but what do you expect for a cartoon book for pre-schoolers? The rhymes are cute and the pictures are great - we love it, and so do all the kids at nursery!

Stick Man is a fantastic book which my 2 girls who are 7 and 4 and I love. It flows really well (something I didn't find with Tiddler) and the story is just great. This probably now equals Snail and the Whale as one of my favourite kids books ever.

This book was recommended to me and when I eventually got round to buying it, I was hooked fairly quickly and finished it in a couple of days. There are some annoying repetitions with words which are used as substitutes for the real-life words, but apart from that it was a very easy book to read. I will not say that the book was enjoyable in the normal sense, as the subject matter is one which cannot be enjoyed, but it was a really good, easy to read book with a twist which just took my breath away.

Well, I don't know if I am Twilight's oldest fan, but I am 50 in 2 days time, and I stumbled on this book whilst trying to find interesting new reads for my daughter (who hasn't had a look in yet). I think it is wonderful. Plot aside, it draws me in and the tension is amazing. The prose does have a hint of Jane Austen about it and Edward is like an old fashioned romantic hero. A very clever idea - fine romantic literature for the 21st century. I wish it had been around when I was 14 - I would have devoured it! I'm ready for the next books. Girls - keep them away from your Mums!

No real point in going into depth over this one. The motivations are stupid, the characters stagnant (with one blazing exception - more on that in a minute.) Bella-as-everygirl-1st-person-narrator worked in the first book, when it was all about discovery. Now that the jig is up, though, she comes across as boring, petulant and self-obsessed, and only slightly outdistanced in those stakes by the hallowed Edward. The reason I gave it as high a rating as I did is a.) it's still compulsive reading, even if it is literary junk-food and b.) Jacob Black.
Ah, Jacob Black. A very wise (and well-known) author once told me that if a minor character starts speaking to you, you should do a U-turn and go with it. I wish Meyer had done that here. I know you all ... Read More:

The only redeeming feature of this book - which could have lost 200 pages of repetitive whining to no detriment, if not improvement - is the fact that Bella finally decides that she loves Jacob. Even if there is a qualifying 'too' in the mix. I'm dubiously giving #4 a bash, since in a fit of enthusiasm after 'Twilight' I bought them all, but I just don't think Meyer has the authorial skills to convince me that an animated marble statue is really worth all of this angst.
Honestly: am I the only one out there who finds Edward completely tedious? Not to mention self-obsessed, controlling and condescending.
This book makes a mockery of the whole Twilight series. The first book in the series was brilliant, the second okay, the third better than okay, but this is plain rubbish. The diologue is rubbish, the story is boring and dull and what I hate most *Warning spoiler* is how the character of Jacob imprints on Bella's daughter. It makes his love for Bella a waste of time and this was part of the reason the Twilight saga was so good. The story would have gone a bit better if he had imprinted on someone like Leah. I also found Bella annoying in this book, and sometimes found myself wanting to tell her to shut up.
Overall, a horrible read and I was so happy when I finished it. If you have only read the first three books, leave it at that as if you read this book, ... Read More:
