I figured I couldn't bash the whole Twilight thing without first reading it, so I gave this one a shot. It wasn't so bad, though I got less than halfway through the second one and gave up. There's only so many times I can read about how Edward sparkles and how whats-her-name is going to die because she misses him so much. It seemed like the first book was somewhat thought out and then Meyer couldn't believe people actually liked it so she threw together 3 more. How can people say this is the next Harry Potter!? Meyer's works do not even scratch the surface of J.K. Rowling's genius.
