I know that many people will not agree with me on this, and I understand, but I personally like this series better than the Twilight Saga. Don't get me wrong, Twilight is way up there on my list of favorites, but City of Bones is probably at the top. I love how Cassandra Clare can switch from one character's point of view to anothers so easily and smoothly, and how each character's voice is so unique, you can tell them apart immediatly. 
I don't want to give too much away, so if you haven't read these books yet, read my very quick and vague summary and trust me, its amazing.
This book is for people who like adventure/fantasy/sci-fi/love stories. If you like twilight, you will most likely love this book, because it has the love story going throughout the plot, but its not the entire story. Twilight is a little more normal life-ish, with everyone acting human and going to high school. City of Bones is a bit more out-there, some characters not even being human at all and not trying to act human either. Jace, one of the main  characters, is one of those people who always have a sarcastic comment or come back, which are usually hilarious. People around you may stare due to sudden giggles and snorts of surpressed laughter.  Oh, and I should warn all teenage girls; if you are prone to falling for fictional characters, you will fall hard and fast for the main guy. Who is Edward again?
