Breaking Dawn

Not being involved in any fan communities or whatnot and thus having no inkling of what was coming, I've been shocked by the extremely negative reaction to the book. Yes, it's nothing more than a Mary Sue wish fulfillment...but that's all the whole series is. Well, whatever. I enjoyed it.

Haha, "drivel" is the exact word I used to describe Meyer's writing a few days ago to a friend. I just finished Twilight yesterday. There certainly wasn't much depth to the characters in Twilight, so does she develop them in the following novels? I'm guessing if she does, it isn't much.

I agree--from reading Twilight, and realizing that Bella was a total Mary Sue in that book, how could anybody expect any different in the subsequent novels? Heck, I just saw something that broke down the description of Bella in comparison to Stephenie Meyer, and they even look the same, minus a couple of decades or so from Meyer.

Nah, there's really not much character development in any of them. The series is basically the angst of first love with sparkly vampires! I think it's quite possible that a lot of the people who are so into them probably don't read much, though, so wouldn't know deepness if it bit them in the nose. That doesn't mean they're not fun to read, but fun does not equal good.
