Rating:  - Best Book in the 4 book series!
Wow, what can I say. I really loved this book. I was surprised, I am 44 and started reading the twilight series by chance just for something to do while my husband watched football. I became so engrossed in the books that I read all 4 in just 6 days. The amazing thing is I am not a reader. These were the first books I have read in more than 5 years.
I cannot recommend these books by SM enough. They are so vividly discriptive and she teases you so well by writing almost what you want to happen and then pulling back at the right moment.
I am a Jacob Black fan. The way SM has written the series I am always pulling for him and I feel so much compassion for his character.
Rating: - Fantastic!!
The sequel of the Twilight Saga did not disappoint.
I first read Stephanie Meyer's "Host" and loved it so much I couldn't wait to read more from her. I purchased the "Twilight Saga and read all four books. They were all great.
She writes from a first person prespective and you come to love the characters, especially the innerworld of the heroine. She begins as a teenager with all the self-consciousness, weaknesses, and foibles of a teen. She is the definition of a clutz.
Through each successive book you watch her grow and mature into a really wonderful adult heroine.
These books are full of monsters, many of which I came to love.
I can't wait to see what Stephanie Meyer comes up with next.
Rating: - Engrossing Series
I am not an adolescent girl, and usually get impatient with the endless tension (usually born of bad communication skills or stupidity, or both) that is Romance. Somehow these books transcend my usual reading preferences. Though, unlike many readers, I thought the last book in the series was the best of the bunch. My reward for three books of somehow, against-my-will, engrossing angst.
Rating:  - The most forgettable of the series
Edward/Bella/Jacob "love" triangle? Whatever... We finally got the backstories for Jasper and Rosalie! And we had wolfpeople (a wolfwoman too, that's right) and vampires working together! This is the stuff of good, cheesy Halloween movies.
A good book? Eh. It was kind of more of the same, which, for me, made it pretty forgettable. I only finished it less than 2 weeks ago, and I already have a hard time remembering what exactly happened in the book. Can't even remember it well enough to do my girl/boy/friend stuff from my New Moon review. Oh well... At least it's time for it all to come to an exciting conclusion in the final book... Right?
Rating: - Excellent reading for anyone, not just teens!
I have to say, I read all four books in this series in just over a week. This series is NOT just for young adults -- I think anyone with an interest in the supernatural and/or emotional love stories would enjoy every book in the series. For instance, I am 39 years old, and I gave "Twilight" to my 63 year-old mother to read when I was done with it (we're both vampire fans). Normally I have a very short attention span, but this series kept me on the edge of my seat. It was well-plotted, suspenseful, emotional, well-written, and a joy to read. I just finished "Breaking Dawn" this evening, and I am experiencing a huge letdown because I don't have any further books to read in the series! Stephenie Meyer, please, please, please write another book in the series -- the one you hinted at at the end of Breaking Dawn!
