Hmm, I enjoyed #1 because of the unique look at vampires, but I pretty much despised the whole series by the end of 4. I wanted to love Edward, but I couldn't get over the creepy and overly controlling nature of him, especially given their extreme age difference, and Bella's whiny indecisiveness had me completely turned off by the end. She's the only heroine I've ever read in a series who actually gets weaker throughout the books; I could never figure out what it was about her that would get all these boys to fall head over heels. I didn't like the push for marriage at 18- I mean these are marketed to young adults and it would so not be what I'd want my daughter to read. Get married before doing anything else with your life! Sex makes life worth living! It's okay to spend half a year in a black whole because your high school boyfriend dumped you and only his return made your life worth living! Woo hoo! I loved, loved the other vampire characters and really thought the author had a creative story line, I just wish she could have done more with it besides falling in love with her Edward and then failing to develop anyone in the book. I'm excited for the movie- the characters are going to have to become more three-dimensional, and Bella will just have to be more likeable, and I'm looking forward to it.

My daughter loved to books and I thought they were pretty good too. Now she is anxiously awaiting the movie (guess I’m gonna have to pony up the money for her to see it when it comes out in the theater instead of waiting for it to hit the $1 theater.) And she got sooo mad when I read Breaking Dawn ahead of her and would sit there and cackle and groan while reading it. Ah, the joys of being the parent, and reading things before your children, just to torture them.

I loved the series also, there were times though I had to sit back and remember that they were in fact written for teens/young adults though. So some immaturity was to be expected. Kimbers last blog post..Back Home In Indiana

STILL on Twilight.

Is it available on tape? Or, can I call you and you can just read it to me over the phone?

No?

Omg! This is exaclty what I felt about the books too!
My observations:
1) Bella didn’t get nearly as mad as she should have at the end of book too. Breakups always have the anger factor. But…its Edward, and who could be mad at that?
2) book two and three could have been combined. I was a little annoyed at the dragging out of bella’s sulkiness.
3) Bella was a little ‘too’ selfless to be realistic.
4) book four was the BEST! SO exciting!

okay…the end. You having a twilight movie going party?
