Twilight Series ...

[doc_3]

I know this came up several months ago but what are ya'll's opinions ("ya'll" is a word, let's get that out of the way) on the 'Twilight' series, by Stephanie Meyer?  I read the first book yesterday (yes, in 4 hours) and I'm not sure I want to commit to this series.  It was good, and obviously a pretty easy read, but seriously, do I want to get emotionally involved here or not?  I can't seem to make up my mind if I want to make the emotional investment.  Or will there be and emotional investment?  Anyway, I know you gals won't steer me wrong.

Ya'll is most definitely a word!

Twilight is one of those things that I will completely admit to loving, while acknowledging that it's undeniably ridiculous. It really is just over the top, teenage angst... and while I shake my head over all the drama, secretly I loved it, because I remember how utterly dramatic I (and seemingly everything around me)was when I was in high school.

That said, I hated almost all of the final installment. I flew through the first three books and then took several weeks to read the last one, because I just could not make myself focus on it.

I have heard negative reviews for the last book from other sources so I think that's why I'm so hesitant to get any further involved. Plus, it is totally over the top and ridiculous, although I was fascinated. Perfect for teens but maybe we've aged out?
