When my sister first recommended this series I prograstinated. We have a lot of differant tastes. Yet she was right on this one! Meyer's true gift is to bring her characters to live and have them connect with so many different people. I have reread the series multiple times and will continue to do so. I love these books! It is an easy read, but a consuming one. Once I start the book I become too engrossed to stop. This book is amazing dispite the at times choppy writing and wordy pages. If you have yet to read Stephanie Meyer I would recommend that you pick up Twilight.
