I just finished the fourth book in the Stephenie Meyer vampire series. The first book (
Twilight) had me intrigued by all the hype. The second (
New Moon) had me hooked. The third (
Eclipse) made me angry because two of the male characters were rather abusive in my eyes. The fourth has me hungry for more. The problems I had with the third book were resolved in the fourth by character development (maturation). Plus, Meyer shifted her narrative voice in the fourth which allowed more of a sympathetic attachment to one of the players. I just couldn't put it down and fought with the urge to read the last chapter right away to know the resolution. In the wee hours of the morning, I was not disappointed by the closure. There's plenty of room for more. The book also presented interesting twists on vampire mythology, genetics, power structures, and conflict resolution. I hope Meyer is sitting at her computer 24/7.

I haven't read any of them, but I have to say that you are the first person I've heard say anything positive about the latest book. I wonder why that is?
