Hey Renee! : D

Well, I have to be straight to the point with the Twilight series; it is definitely NOT my cup of tea, but I can't say I hate it with passion. I haven't read The Host yet, but from what I've read from wiki, it seems like a good plot.

One of the reasons I didn't enjoy it is because of how she just makes her characters fall in love, without the falling part. But what else I don't like is her perfect, Sue characters, how I can find the same sort of writing on fiction press, and much more, but I don't want to rant.

So:

In my opinion, what Stephenie Meyer has isn't amazing writing abilities (this is just my opinion) but the subconscious ability to grant large amounts of wish fulfillment to other readers. This is why the Twilight series appeals to a lot of pre-teens and teens; Bella is the epitome of wish-fulfillment. She doesn't have much character so the reader can easily fit into her shoes. She's smart, beautiful, has a much sought after boyfriend, becomes rich, and the list goes on. When people read it, you can be Bella, you can have a perfect life.

Well, of course, I say again, this is only my opinion. May I ask what you like about the Twilight series?

Thank you and sorry for my rant-ish comment,
Michelle Zheng

I really disliked The Host and never connected with a single character. I'm axtualy afraid og how Breaking Dawn will end. She didn't love Host characters the way she made us love Bella and the Cullens. I didn't care what heppened at the end of the Host. In fact, I sent it back and never got to the end.
