P.S. I jokingly say, often, that I think they sprinkled an addictive substance on the pages. I still can't explain why I loved these books so much, but they changed my life. Seriously.

To be honest while I read all four books I was disappointed. Especially when looking back at what I recall.
A girl with low self-esteem, described as plain, and in nature a middle aged old soul at the age of 17 falls for a 104 or 105 year old vampire frozen at age 17.
Now in the first book its relatively innocent and sweet other than the whole watching her sleep and stalking. In the second book Bella deals with heartbreak and has a "midlife crisis" at age 18. In the third book Bella continues to have midlife crisis and commits infidelity while engaged. Yeah... I am not too sure how soulmates or "greater than a soulmate" work but I doubt one would stray from someone so powerfully connected to you. Meyer's concept and mention of soulmate also conflicted with the concept of imprinting that she created. Then the final book. Bella becomes Super Vampire. She is shown as too perfect and powerful in this book.
The obsessive, controlling, manipulative and bratty natures of the characters were a turn off throughout the series. For being professionally published this book wasn't very well written. The author's syntax seemed awkward even to me (and I can't write at all).
Overall would I recommend the series? With a warning that don't spend money on it and borrow it from the library first. While I may not have liked the Twilight Saga most people who have read the series loved it.

I will, however, admitthat as the movies went on, they got better as the budget went up and the fight scenes unfolded they definitely did it justice.
Overall, good series.

The more adult content was mainly in the last book, but wasn't overwhelming. I let my daughter read the books and made sure I was there to explain things that I thought needed clarification.
Overall, it was a good romance story with a fictional twist. I would recommend to anyone, with a caveat that some parental involvement made be needed for younger readers.

I am definitely someone that has a hard time separating movie from book. I wish this weren't so.
