Stephenie Meyer
I did a search and didn't find anything so I thought I'd strat a thread on Stephanie Meyer.
Has any one read any of her books? I just finished Twilight and loved it. It's a series of currently three books about a teenager who moves to a small town in Washington called Forks to live with her dad and ends up falling for a vampire. For those of you not familar with her, the books are titled: 1. Twilight 2. New Moon 3. Eclipse 4. Breaking DawnComing in August If you have read any of her stuff tell us what you think.

Glad to see there's Some more Stephenie Meyer Fans here Note: I know her name is misspelled in the title. Any mod or admin is free to take out the "a" and replace it with an "e"

Out of curiosity and a desire to read something mindless and quick, I got through Twilight and New Moon in a few days, but about 50 pages into Eclipse I thought to myself, "What am I reading?" and stopped.
Though, I've seen the trailers and Twilight seems oddly more suited to the film form than book. Maybe in the movie, much of the repetitive "I love him he is my life does he love me or doesn't he?" of Bella and Edward's "I could kill you at any moment but I won't because you smell so delicious" shtick will be pared down.

Sorry to hear you quit the series, Goldberry. You might want to try The Host, it's geared to the adult audiance.
frodomerryandaragornrock,Freeflying, how are you guys doing on your books. I'm in the process of reading Breaking Dawn. Good stuff

I haven't read any of her books, but isn't there a major tiff going on on the 'net about her latest book?

Stephenie Meyer
Well, I just started reading Twilight the day before yesterday, and I am finished with it. I am about to start Eclipse (in a few minutes actually). I just can't seem to put the damn thing down! The book has a balanced flow to it, it just seems like it will never end, like I have to keep reading or I will miss out on something big....
I noticed the book Twilight when it first came out. I just thought of it as the book with the bright red apple on it that everyone was reading. I honestly had no interest reading a book about...vampires. Then I heard that it was going to be made into a film, and one thing about me is, I cant stand to see a movie that has came from a book, without reading the book. So I thought to myself that I would pick it up before the movie came out. Over the summer, I attened this science and math program called GEMS with other kids my age (7th grade +) [Im a junior]. All of these kids were just absolutely raving about it. I heard from critics that it was the "Next Harry Potter" (which I still think is untrue, but anyway). Now I knew that I had to read it. I bought the book after GEMS, and left it sitting around. I decided to read Harry Potter instead (for about the...oh i dont know...ten thousandth time). When I finished it, I had no other book to read, and I cant stand going without a book for a short period of time. I went downstairs, picked up Twilight, and that was about all she wrote. I never put it down. Page after page was just better and better. I cant wait to finish the series, and I hope that the movies wont destroy the books, like most senarios.

I had a friend rave about this series, before I finally broke down and read it. Glad I did.
She was writing a book called Midnight Sun, from Edward's point of view, but it leaked onto the internet sheck out her website www.stepheniemeyer.com for details on all her books and to read the partial draft of Midnight Sun (she was pretty ticked when it leaked, so she posted part of it on her site so her fans wouldn't look for the leaked copy.)

These books are interesting. Didn't think I'd like them at first, but I couldn't put them down.
The more I read, the less I like Bella and Edward, or Jacob for that matter. Too much of an annoying, unrealistic teen romance. Jasper, though. . .*huggles him* His romance is so sweet. . .definitely my favorite character, and perhaps one of the most complex. . .and over looked.

I agree, Jasper is over looked. Alice is my favorite character.
Ugh I HATE Bella, I honestly cannot stand her. I liked her in the first book, but our relationship went downhill after that.

I like Alice too. I like Jasper better. (<3 <3 <3 <3) But Alice can't be all bad if he adores her so much. He's much more interesting than Edward or Bella.

Edward only annoys me because he loves Bella. She has flipping OCD and needs to get over it. Ugh, I just wanted to slap her in the second book. Its like, "get over yourself, dude. There are other flipping fish in the sea"
I loved loved loved how Jasper and Alice came together. How like Alice knew exactly what was coming for her, and she waited for him in that restaurant. Shes just so cheery and sweet. They truely are perfect for each other.

They are. I love it. I just want to huggle him whenever he's in a scene. He's so tortured and it's so hard for the poor guy to even sit at school, and yet he does it all for love. How adorable.
