The negative responses I've seen are either very closed-minded or very.... egotistical.. or maybe very young. It seems to me that she wrote the novels first for herself and then later was viewed for the teenage audience. Twilight could easily fit in that category (especially teenage). However, she stated once that she wrote the Saga for herself-- not for teens, or for me (I'm 27) or you-it was for herself FIRST. I think you should remember that. Maybe Breaking Dawn wasn't catered to teens or to the weak-stomach....in any case, it followed exactly in the same principles that made the other books brilliant.. the passion and the brilliance of plot and the PERSONAL creativity from the author herself... you can almost feel intrusive.. as though you're reading from S. Meyer's secret diary. Instead of complaining against a novel you could never write like in comparison on your best days(sorry), you should appreciate her artistic brain and be thankful that you're actually able to partake in her creativity by reading something that she wrote that is very personal to her. You're going to have to face that she writes to cater to herself and not you, me, teens, or anyone else. Creativity shouldn't be bounded by the borders that certain groups want to create. Let her be and create and respect that eh? Not a whole lot to ask. I love ALL her books (especially Breaking Dawn) as well as The Host. She is a brilliant writer that ensnares readers of all ages and reminds us of a TRUE LOVE that we all wanted or have at one point in our lives had... or can still have. Oooohh yeahhh. Be realistic please. yep.

I was completely thrilled with my purchase. Amazon's estimated delivery date was spot on and it certainly made my day!

For $11 a pop, you could do worse

So I ripped through the saga in a single weekend (which seems to be the general M.O.), and ordered this set before I finished reading them all to replace the ones I borrowed from a friend to read . I have to admit that the 4th book didn't live up to my expectations, particularly because Steph Meyers does a pretty decent job of creating interesting characters with real conflicts in 1-3 and then everything becomes flat and trite at the end (no spoilers, you'll have to see it for yourself or read other reviews). I thought about canceling my order, but the first three books are pretty good for escapist pulp fiction. For $11 each for hardcover, why not have all four in case you want to re-read the handful of good chunks of Breaking Dawn?
