I read all four books in 2 months time. I really liked the first one but at first was really disappointed that it was more of a love story and less of a vampire story. But even though I prefer dark books about serial killers I actually really enjoyed it. The second book was harder to get through without Edward... but I really did start to like the whole warewolf thing.

I have to say my favorite book of the series is the 3rd book and the best scene in the story was the threesome situation with Edward, Bella and Jacob in the tent... I was so jealous of bella. I never wanted to be a book charactor more in my life.

But I have to agree with the feeling of Edward being controlling, but I felt that the auther did make Bella a bit too weak up until the last book of course. It was so great to see her so strong and so confident.

I absolutely can't wait until Nov to see New Moon... Jacob looks SO good. But to tell you the truth I would rather skip all the other movies for now and jump right to the last one! Seeing Bella as a vampire would make a great movie.
