I couldn't find a recent topic about twilight so I figured I'd make one! I love this Saga, it is absolutely amazing to me. The author gives vampires a whole new persona. She makes them almost believable. Breaking Dawn, the conclusion to this great series, has the most action and twists, the book is constantly moving through its 750 pages. These books have really inspired me to write, I'm on the watch for an idea for a story that will win the hearts of many, as the Twilight books have. I am working on my technique for writing and my creative writing teacher was very encouraging of me. I would like to know your opinions on these books. Did they make this fantasy almost a reality to you?
Twilight Saga
I've just finished reading Eclipse and I was like... Woah
. Rocked. So much better than New moon. Yeah, it definitely made it a reality for me, I love the whole innuendo between Bella and Edward. Although, I'm quite against Jacob...

I love the Twilight Saga except Breaking Dawn. I enjoyed some parts of that last book but overall, i was disappointed. My favorite of all four is Eclipse.
I'll admit, these are the only vampire books I've ever allowed myself to pick up. And for good reason, because pretty much everything else in that genre is utter crap. But Stephanie Meyer did a great job here, creating many distinct characters and an interesting plotline.
I won't say she's one of the best writers I've ever read, because she's not. The quality of the writing itself is pretty good, but definitely not great. It's the story and the characters that make these books so good.

I have heard enough about these books that I probably won't be reading them for some time. It seems like I know a lot of people who have read them and can't stop talking about them... sometimes those are the best, but I've also noticed that the first book just doesn't grab me. Maybe I just haven't tried hard enough but I have to say, they seem like they're lacking...quality.
I also know a lot of people who can't seem to stop raving about the series, but no one them are... shall we say, literary snobs?
I simply cannot stand anything by Anne Rice, so I've been very wary of giving this series a try... Can anyone comment on how the two authors might compare?
