My personal oppinion of the books are that they are all written horribly, although Stephenie Meyer is exceptionally good at descriptive writing, her narrative writing is horible. That will do quite a bit to hinder a plot. The only reason I stuck it through all the books is because the PLOT LINE was very good even if she sucked at telling it. Many of her IDEAS for the concepts were also very good, although she didn't think them through enough to really use them to their full potential.
