I did not think they were my thing either, but I was curious.
The Twilight series were on sale at K-mart, and I began with first two, Twilight and New Moon, and of course, I ended up reading the entire series. The Eclipse was the book that I somehow paid least attention to. Breaking Dawn was okay... the motherly tone of a 18 year old brand new vampire did not seem as interesting. I mean, I could see through the author's own world view and her own experience of giving birth and being a mother. Bella's original character seemed have been lost in the process.
