I love the series, and everyone I know that has read them like them too. It just makes me wonder...does anyone actually dislike all the books in the series??

I think that there are people who say that they do not like the book only because they refuse to read it. Everyone that I know that has read it, even the ones I practically had to beg to read it, love it.

Sorry, but I disliked the series very much. I worry that Bella is not a very good role model for young women.

I read, no devoured, all four books, and I will read the fifth when it comes out. However, my roommate (who has read them all too) and I agree that while the writing keeps you turning pages, the story, and Bella's character (I'm adorably helpless, everybody love me!!) drives us nuts. Also, I do believe that it sets up an unrealistic expectation of love for girls. She gets everything she wants, with no loss and no sacrifice. Yeah right!! I won't be reading them again. But I'll probably see the movie if the reviews are good.

the fourth was the last book.

I've read the books and they were ok but not as great as people keep telling me. Belle's whinning bugs me. Edward is hot. Jacob is annoying. As it stands LOVE the Vampires, Jacob let werewolves everywhere down... but still worth reading, just not life changing, but what romance noval is?? :D

Dark sun? I know she won't be writing it for a while, buti think it still counts.

No loss or sacrifice? You've got to be kidding me. Almost getting murdered multiple times by angry vampires. The most important person in the world to her leaving and her having to fight depression for months. Making the decision that being with Edward and the Cullens is worth never seeing her own family again... The list goes on. Who, in real life, has to go through that for a guy? The love is incredible and seems unreachable for some people but the extent of the sacrifice is also unrealistic in a lot of people's eyes. It's equal. It goes hand in hand. The love and the amount of trouble that goes along with it. And if you can't recognize that, of course your expectations would be to high. Anything in this world that is above and beyond our expectations takes HARD work and A LOT of effort and sacrifice. And the novel shows you that. You can't get something grand and expect not to work for it.

Bella sacrifice's as much as she get's in return.

I beg to differ Catherine. Anyone who's finished Breaking Dawn knows that Bella loses nothing and gains everything. There's two bad vampires in the earlier books yeah, but they get their comeuppance despite Bella's every attempt to sacrifice herself for her man. The fourth book has no violence, no loss, just lots of ooey gooey love. It's banking on tension that builds and builds, then fizzles into nothing. I'd give examples, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it yet, and wants to. It's good once, but that's all.

And Midnight Sun, is technically not the fifth book as I said earlier. The series has four books. It's basically a rewrite of Twilight, the first book, from Edward's point of view. Regardless of where you place it in the series, there are still 5 books in that universe. Kind of like a prequel is not part of the main series, but still counts.

midnight sun you mean? and she might not even write it because of its leaking onto the internet. it'd just be a version of twilight from edward's POV, not a continuation of the series.
