I couldn't put them down (and read them all before my teenage niece!!). Most reviews have slated Breaking Dawn - but I loved it. Each to their own grin

Oh god, I loved them! I fell in love with Edward when I I read the first book and still love him now! It's so sad!!! I'm 30!!! Though, to my defence, I was pregnant when I read them and had quite a complicated pregnancy, lots of lonely stays in hospital with bleeds, etc, so I guess I was vulnerable...
At least that's my excuse, and I am sticking to it!! wink

I personally thought it was crap, badly written, boring and repetitive and Bella is the most annoying character ever! But for some strange reason I enjoyed the film (hmm). Much prefer the True Blood books (I'd have Eric over Edward any day of the week!) or Lost Souls by Poppy Z Brite (if vampires are your thing of course )

I am a well documented Twilight Obsessive. I love them. Second one New Moon is the best imvho. They are said not to be very well written but somehow Stephanie Meyer has made millions of people fall in love with a character on paper and for me personally I "saw" all her characters. So she has done something right.
oh god. the are braincrack, utter rubbish but you have to read until you're done. I hated Bella with a passion, and didn't think much of Edward, the right wing family values bollocks made me feel queasy, and I found the final denouement of the last book a massive pointless anti-climax. Just horrible. And yet I could not put them down grin I hated myself.
I'm reading the last one, just finished all the others.

Good reading, totally compulsive teen angst fiction - but I can't bear how passive Bella is and if any man tried to tell me what to do in the way Edward bosses Bella around I would not be impressed grin.

The girls i work with are reading them over and over again why!
The last one was dreadful. IMO they started OK (entertaining waste of time) and got worse.

Is it just me? i could not get into the first book at all my work mates loved the books and always talk about them.
