I'll say that it'll take me a great while to pick up the rest of the series.

Gotta' give credit to Meyer for two things at least. First, for giving a slightly unique look upon a genre and idea that's been beaten to death with a wooden stake, and secondly, for having an incredibly amazing ability to write passionate scenes well.

Of course, that amazing ability of hers is used to write love novels about vampires. Bummer.
The sides of my mouth curl upwards trying not laugh and "offend" any Twilight series fans because of how much I agree with you.

I think A LOT of what you say is very strong.


Thanks for reading!
