I disliked the end. It should have stayed by new Moon. Eclipse was something very forgetful, and Breaking Dawn reached ridiculous.
Twilight is not that bad. I recently read The Host, and I think is much better. I loved it! And now compared to Twilight, I see Twilight was like a first experience, where Stephenie Meyer was not that bad. I have never read The Vampire Chronicles, or how ever those are called, but by what i read on this it's a serie for another kind of audience. Getting obsessed over this is too much, and getting obsessed over hating it, is also too much. If people don't like it, then why are they posting at threads like this? Only to waste time on talking about something they don't like. I hate spiders. But I don't go around searching for them...

I always imagined him with redish-brown hair. You know, a russet color? XD I dunno why.
I hated Twilight, personally.
a) Romance fans tend to love this book, for obvious reasons. But hard-core fantasy fans, like me, tend to despise it with every fiber of our being. Vampires are supposed to be awful, awaesome, awe-inspiring, fearsome, frightening, and vicious monsters of the night. That is their beauty, and we love it. Meyer, however, has corrupted that image, and made her vampires into sparkling sex objects to lust over. It's disgusting, and I am highly disturbed.
b) People who are more plot-oriented love this book, because her flow and wording is exquisite. However, character-oriented people, like me, hate it. Her characters are weak and shallow, with no development at all. And they all word everything the exact same way when they talk.
