Twilight for teens is like Justin Bieber for teens. A lot of people love it, a lot of people hate it, and a small minority doesn't really care. I'm part of that minority. It's even more dull for adults. I don't hate The Twilight Saga, but the only really noteworthy thing about it is the number of fans it got. The last book is by far the best, having some excitement and mystery, as well as being a little less predictable, to speak for it.
It's also a classic story. Think Midsummer Night's Dream. Think any story with a love triangle. Bella, the normal human (at least for most of the books), can't choose between her boyfriend Edward the vampire, and one of her best friends Jacob the werewolf. Of course vampires and werewolves are sworn enemies. You can guess the rest.
These books have potential, but they're just not that original and also don't require much thought. Perfect book for a lazy day at the beach, not if you're actually trying to gain reading experience.
