What Started It All...: Twilght

I'm sorry to all twilight haters and those who dislike romance, but no one can deny that twilight has been a major success since it was first published in 2005. 116 million copies were sold as of 2010 and it has inspired so many teens to stop playing the Xbox and pick up a book. I think what this book has accomplished is incredible. I think that the first book is the best. Bella has friends outside 'The Cullens' and other interests. I also like that at first things aren't to intense between them. In so many books the Boy and the Girl meet for about 2 minutes and suddenly there like 'OMG I have found my soul mate'. How ever as the series goes on I find that you lose the story line to the relationship between Edward and Bella. It is true that although Stephenie Meyer wrote a classic love triangle, she did manage to keep it interesting with some unforeseen twist. But Bella seems to forget about her home life and her friends. In the last book however you do see a dilemma besides team Edward versus team Jacob as Stephenie Meyer rounds of the series nicely with a dramatic finish.
As for the Novella 'The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner' I have yet to read that but will let you know when I do!
