I agree that they are fun, entertaining books. I read them when I was in high school and adored them. And I agree it is unfortunate that the movies and crazy fans created a stigma over them. My one big criticism with the series though, is that I wish Bella had been a stronger, more independent character. Especially in the second book. I think it's fine, and even necessary for characters to have flaws and weaknesses, but I felt the way in which Bella was portrayed was stereotypical. And especially considering it is a young adult series, I feel it is important to stay away from such stereotypes as it can be hurtful to young women who are trying to form romantic relationships for the first time.pdcyouthlibrary wrote:I was surprised no had anything yet about Twilight! I understand the movie and the fan clubs about it all, yet I have to say that I read the books before the big drama of it all, and really enjoyed them. It was an extremely well written book series with different twists and turns that made the series amazing. I can't say that I enjoyed the movies at all, however the books were well done and would recommend. The hard part with recommending this series is that people have seen the movies and then they don't want to read the books because of that, but it's a good series that I'm have enjoyed for sure!

In my opinion, all of the characters have so much more personality in the books than the movies. I love how Stephanie Meyer got into detail about each little aspect of the characters and the scenes. She was able to paint us a portrait with her words so that we could imagine the story as a movie in our heads - each person (reader) experienced the book differently therefore reacting differently.

However, after going through the entire series, now when I think of it, I am unable to recall the plot of the story. Stephanie manages to imprison the readers in her world of vampires and werevolves, but fails to construct a story. This is probably the reason why if someone asks you about the storyline of the Twilight series, you find yourself at a loss for a definite answer! You can dodge this bullet by telling about how the plot starts with the advent of a charming yet misunderstood species of vampires and revolves around the rivalry between the vampires and another specie, the werewolves in the later parts.
