Customer Reviews
Good Writing, Adventurous, Romantic and Amazingly Clean
When I say clean, I mean there is no foul language, no alcohol or drug abuse, no societal message as opinion by the author. Just good, clean fun. The paranormal issues are kept fairly downplayed (that's not the word I want). I think what I'm trying to say is these stories are for women (and men if they can put aside their fear of chick books) of all walks of life and all ages. I started reading this book on vacation. I am 55 years old, so I felt a little stupid reading teenage fiction. However, I was hooked solidly from Twilight until the very end of Breaking Dawn and recommend these books for women of ALL ages who enjoy a fun, fast-paced romance with a few vampires and werewolves thrown in. Eclipse was my third favorite book because I was so taken by Edward, I had a hard time reading through the Jacob parts. Ms. Meyers made it clear to me that Edward was Bella's all-time love, so it felt a little boring when the Jacob stories were being told. However, that being said, these stories were STILL better than 99% of the books out there, for teenagers to us old ladies. I loved the wedding and the aftermath. I am one of those who would prefer NOT to read every detail of people's love lives and appreciate the way Ms. Meyers made the wedding night of Edward and Bella breathtakingly sensual without getting too descriptive. I always think that's sexier - just my opinion.
The reason these books are so popular is fairly simple. Give the public what they want and we will come. I hope the other authors are paying attention. That she managed to write four long books without a lapse in writing style or going off subject, keeping it interesting and even addictive shows a great talent. I hope the rest of her books are as good.
