Me having finished this book: Yes, I read the Twilight books. No, I do not regret it.

Oh how I love seeing different aspects of a fantasy world such as other schools of magic. Although... I'm confused. Why on earth were the two schools represented as all-boys / all-girls in the movie?

I was forced to read this book for GCSE English literature (exams are this year!?) and didn't originally hear very good things about it, however, when I actually got around to reading it I enjoyed it. It's a bit slow, but it has some really cool context and overall a good storyline.

I gave it three stars mainly because five stars are reserved for my absolute favourites of all time and four stars are reserved for the books I really like and would read again... this isn't a favourite, but I would definitely recommend for everyone to read this book at least once.

Edit: Never done an edit before... GCSEs were cancelled but I still think this was a worthwhile read, with or without the ridiculously frantic exams which usually occur at the end of year 11 :)
