Plain and simple...I'm a writer, I loved it, and I will own the whole series. I'm also 40 years old and not ashamed to say I really like Edward Cullen along with the rest of his family, even Rosalie who can't stand Bella. There were a few things Stephanie did repeatedly that drove me nuts being I'm a writer myself, but otherwise she made a good story and changed my perception of vampires. Mind you...I still love BLADE and the whole concept to him ridding the world of "bad" vamps, but I really appreciate what Stephanie did with the Cullens and them being "vegetarians".
