I started reading these series because I was curious about why
everyone thought it was the best books ever written... well it
isn't. The first book was alright, the part that got the most
excitement out of me was near the end, when there was some action
and meyer wasn't going on and on of how Edward is beautiful, smells
good, is beautiful, and smells good, etc...
The second book was the best of the entire series in my opinion,
mainly because it wasn't about being beautiful and smelling really
good. Although I got annoyed by how pathetic Bella is and how
dependant she is on Edward, very sad. She couldn't move on, she
gave up on everything, her hobbies include making lasagna, cleaning
the house, working, studying and mopping around all day long, until
Jacob came along and she learned the art of riding the motorcycle
and felt like a daredevil...
The thid book was bad, because now she was back with Edward( yeah
I'm not much of a fan of Edward, actually neither of the
characters) and he was really controlling, and liked to watch her
sleep at night. I mean she was completely okay with this guy
telling her what to do, and she couldn't be with the people she
wanted to be with because her boyfriend didn't "trust" them.
Fourth book was HORRIBLE, and very predictable and boring. They
marry, the have the most perfect child, Bella turns perfect, Jacob
becomes a pedophile and you get the picture. It was really bad, and
I think Meyer ran out of good names... eg. Rennesme(sp?) haha....
In general the series didn't have an interesting plot...I don't
think it had one at all, the characters are bland, flat and stupid.
None of the characters had anything to remember them by, maybe
Jacob because at least he didn't stalk you and was a lot more
normal. For a fantasy romance novel, I thought it lacked reality( I
know fantasy is not real), mainly because vampires don't sparkle,
boys don't stay virgins for 117 years, two different species can't
just reproduce and the book in general ruined my perception of
fantastical creatures, it really did...
I would recommend it to people who want a light read, and just want
a distraction.Please girls, don't get obsessed with this series,
its not worth it, and i hope no one is that simple to actually
believe that having a boyfriend like Edward is great, its not
healthy, and not to mention real human boys are a lot better than a
vampire like Edward, he's so old-fashioned.... By the way, this is
not great literature, and please don't kid yourself into thinking
it is, its ok, and won't be remembered a hundred years from now...
This is my opinion on the book, please don't reply to me telling me
"You can't write a book so don't criticize it." Please, so you have
to be able to write a book to judge it? NO.
