“I got into the Twilight Saga after seeing the film and as it was better than I thought it would be, I decided to read the books. I'd like to say that I was impressed by the series, but I can't. Meyer is good at drawing you into her world, but I found the whole series boring to read. Nothing really happens in the books other than the whole "I love Edward" from Bella (or is it Jacob?!) and "I love Bella but can't be with her because I'm a vampire and will hurt her" from Edward and that's about it from the main characters. The only saving grace of the series are Jacob and the rest of the werewolf pack and the Cullens (aside from Edward...) as they are at least somewhat interesting. Shame that they aren't what the series focuses on, asotherwise, the series would be worth taking the time to read. At the time of writing this, I'm about halfway through it (at the point where Bella's daughter is born) and gave up reading the rest, as it felt like that should have been the end of the book. If there was a character in all the books that I have read that I would consider a Mary Sue, then Bella would be it - she's uninteresting as a character and she's weak-willed and whiney throughout the first three books and then turns into this super-heroine in Breaking Dawn. My advice to people, stay clear of this series as you'll be vastly disappointed by it.”
