Yes, this is [probably] one the greatest reviews of Twilight you will ever read!
Why? Well, for one...I did not write it!
And if Twilight seems like a really random book to "review," it's a banned book, and this is Banned Books Week! Yay, relevance.
Again, lemme say that I did not write this, but it's pretty much WORD FOR WORD how I feel about the book!
So here's a review of TWILIGHT from someone who knows a thing or two about writing.
Guess who it is!!
Twilight, Stephenie Meyer. I'm a sucker for a good vampire story, so I wanted to see what all the buzz was about. The story was a page-turner: regular teenage girl falls in love with a guy who turns out to be a vampire. I thought the writing needed some editing. If the girl's heart skipped a beat one more time or the vampire smiled his "perfect crooked smile" I was going to fling the book across the room. But hey, I kept reading to see what would happen next. I'm sure the book will be popular. It would make a good movie.

That's right, folks. This review was written by the one, the only:
RICK RIORDAN!
(Isn't that funny? You go, RR!)
