Things I Like: Her series is different. It's not the run-of-the-mill story about vampires and werewolves; her plot runs deeper than that to include the Volturi and unique settings. I admire her fierceness for not being afraid to go there.
Thinks I Didn't Like: Her grammar, her writing style, her voice, her characterization, her descriptions; she definitely has a strong point in finding a plot, but a weakness in executing it.
I think they're ideal for a middle school audience, but you can definitely outgrow her writing.

I had an almost identical experience. I'd like to add that I also do not like the way the relationship, which is abusive, is portrayed as an ideal relationship. I don't think it's healthy for young girls to read this book.emberwood wrote:I was obsessed with her books when I was in the 8th grade. I believe there were two of them out at the time and I was waiting on the others. I went to Midnight openings for her new books hosted by various book stores and loved the storyline when I was young. As I grew as a reader, a writer, and a student, it became clear that her plots were weak and her grammar is horrible. Now, the books are painful to read.

They help to remind me that no matter how bad a writer I think I am, I can't be as bad as her.
Just.
No.
