Then I finished the series because I was curious about where she'd go owith it. Not the best writing in the world but I like fantasy, so it was okay. I liked her book, The Host, much better--but I think I'm in the minority with that opinion.Karlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02771306878095218330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488907836081418565.post-8622305209306519852009-01-23T19:15:00.000-07:002009-01-23T19:15:00.000-07:00True.

I've totally enjoyed them.

I finished reading the series for two reasons: 1) I think it's important for me, as an avid reader, to have read something as huge as Twilight. I felt the same way about Harry Potter but ended up really enjoying HP. 2) My friend encouraged me to finish the series so we could do a video about all the horrible things about it. That made the time investment totally worth it. <BR/><BR/>So my advice, from a reader to another reader, is don't even bother.trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688001590373132381noreply@blogger.com
