I have read all four books in the Twilight series but I think I’m probably the only person who doesn’t really like them. I mean one of my major issues with the book is the Bella character. I mean she is very needy, selfish and a little bit vain. She is willing to sacrifice her family and friends to become a vampire without so much as a second thought. She repeatedly moans about not wanting to be even a year older than her vampire lover, uses Jacob and then discards him like a dirty dishcloth. I’m not even going to get into the train wreck that was the last book in the series (don’t want to spoil anything for anyone) Edward is so boring he’s like watching paint dry.
However there are redeeming things about the series. The romance between Bella and Edward feels so innocent and pure, in this day and age everything is so hyper sexualised (especially children) it’s refreshing to read a teenage romance sans the sex, drugs and rock & roll.
