Anyhow, I decided to read this book (given from a friend as a holiday gift to my wife) to see if I could relate to the teen generation of today.  I’m all about user experience in my business and in my perceptions of everyday life, and I wanted to get a glimpse into the mind of today’s high schooler.  To my surprise, I was able to relate quite a bit. I guess going into it, I underestimated the mental and emotional capacities of someone that age (at least I was pretty simple during those times in my life).  Now I realize that kids these days are a lot smarter than I was back in the day.

I really enjoyed the two main characters, Bella & Edward.  It was a believable love story, except for the vampire part (they’re not real, right?). The author made being a vampire sound pretty fun. Anyways…

We’ll probably see a lot of vamps for Halloween this year. Of course, now I want to watch Twilight the movie.
