The author has ok writing and crummy characters. I still have no idea how the books got famous enough to warrent making movies of. For all the authors online and off, that are better then her (I'm assuming the author is a girl, excuse me if I'm wrong.) she could pay each a penny from all her royalties and come out in the negatives.
Yes I'm a guy that audiobooked them (sad to say ran out of other audio book sources) and I did not like them. But they kept me from being absolutely bored for a week. They could've gotten to the sex sooner and maybe actually gave a description of it. I was waiting for the sex scene cause one of my female friends was saying that edward pratically eats a pillow in it. Well true enough, night before skips over the sex to the morning after with feathers covering the room. I was slightly miffed at that.
All in all, I would give the series a 3/10.
