Finished reading Twilight series and quite liked it. Though I like Harry Potter series more. I have always liked Vampire Stories and that's the reason UnderWorld I & III are two of my favorite movies. But Stephenie Meyer's take on vampire's is not much different from formula fiction. Basically a teen love story, so what if the characters happen to be Vampires and ShapeShifters (Jacob is not a werewolf!).
The area where Stephenie Meyer succeeds is the chemistry between the lead characters. I think for a romance story to succeed the chemistry between the lead characters is very important.
I won't put Twilight in my all time favorites but indeed I enjoyed it while it lasted.
You should only read such books when you are falling in love otherwise dont read it. Or better yet read it once the initial craziness of a new love has worn off; the mush is so awful you will laugh your head off :) the characters are just plain idiotic n the plot even more so
