With fear of sounding like a squealing teenager I debated with myself whether I would mention it or not. However after much refusing I finally gave in and read the Twilight Saga books, currently on the 4th one...Breaking Dawn... Which I have to say, the series has turned out to be fantastic... however I find the 4th book slightly annoying, as I do the main charecter Bella...
One...why would you want to write the book from one person's point of view...and then change your mind and start writing from another point of view... in book 4 (spoilers...) it goes from Bella's POV to another charecter Jacobs as if there are multiple stories binded together...now i digress and realize that it's all part of the story and the author feels that that we need to hear his side of the story, however if that's what you wanted to do than you should have written a seperate book or written the series in a variety of versions if you wanted to play Point of View games....

As for the main charecters she's of course a whiny girl who cant make up her mind... i wanna marry him, i don't wanna marry him.. i'm gunna fall in love with 2 men... and dependant on them all... now i'm not one for feminism but do you have any idea how many kids and people around the world have read this book? What is that telling the young people that it's ok to do what she does? We all know that fictional charecters put themselves in harms way for the story..like Harry Potter throwing himself into battle countless times with Voldemort but when you make the only fictional thing the vampire and have a tragic flaw of being human and weak...you just want to reach into the pages and slap her to make a damn decision...
I also found this book was highly disapointing in the "imagination" department... I feel this should have been written as an adult story and given alot more graphic detail.... so after reading this story, as great as it is, if you feel a little short on the plot, try picking up the Charlene Harris books..the Sookie Stackhouse novels which are the basis for HBO's True Blood. Truely more adult, graphic and may have you reaching for the next book right away...Plus the added bonus of them being 1/8 the size of the Twilight Saga...
