Twilight 4

· One thing I love about the Harry Potter series is that is always is bang on with the details. I felt like Meyer didn't always do it. For example, Bella makes Charlie pancakes for breakfast, and then Meyer has Charlie with a cereal bowl. It's probably on purpose, but it still made me want to yell at Charlie to stop eating so many carbs.

· The last one is 700 pages, and it could have been 400.

· The first 200 left a "yuck" look on my face. Too romance novel. Yuck.

· What a terrible name. I would have preferred "Belward Swacul".

· Wow, the end was so exciting! I really didn't see that coming. (I clearly need sarcasm font.) The end was the best part, but super predictable.

· So they are vampires living in Forks, and they must keep this secret or risk penalty of death. And they drive Ferraris? Okay, just one, but still. As if that would happen. Not exactly inconspicuous. I feel like there are a few places in the series where Meyer insists on making vampires "sexy", sometimes at the expense of the plot.
