I will be the first to admit I find the books incredibly cheesy and do not understand the obsession around it. that being said I can also totally see myself re-reading the saga while down for the count with the flu or while on a plane.
Twilight was just as I expected. Except that I was unaware that it was written for young adults. I always thought they had tamed the movies a little bit for the teenage crowd but the books were written for adults.
New Moon was again just like I had expected minus a few things. I got a much better insight into the Volturi reading the book then I did the movie.
Eclipse was my least favorite movie so I was fully expecting to hate the book but it was so much better (as is usually the case) then the movie.
Then Breaking Dawn came and I was hugely disappointed! For one thing I hated reading from Jacobs point of view for that long and was half tempted to just jump ahead. If the author had already done Bella's and Jacobs I think she should have maybe shortened Jacob's and added Edward into the mix. I wish that Stephanie Meyer had spent more time on Bella's new life those first couple days. There seemed to be so much going on that it kind of killed the "experience" for me. The whole thing felt rushed to me and not put together well.
Another set of books that I enjoyed was the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.
