As part of my birthday present, I have requested my husband to buy me the above book. I am very possibly the last woman left who hasn’t read it yet and I admit I’ve been holding out for some time. I suppose it’s the snob in me who is reluctant to jump on a fad and just have fun on the ride. I was exactly the same with the Harry Potter books – I would watch every second person on the train as I used to commute into the city of a morning and wonder what the hell it was all about; and then I bought them and found out why.
I do believe – though – that this will be the perfect beach read. I realise vampires and the beach / sunlight mightn’t seem like the most likely of combinations, but I speak more in terms of lovely, greedy escapism; where I can relax and enjoy.
