Twilight, the Stephanie Meyers’ series. I’ve just read all four books in the series and I’m absolutely captivated. My eldest granddaughter is a fan, so I thought I’d give the books a try. I was reluctant to begin with because I’d heard about all the bad-mouthing the books attracted. I didn’t like everything, especially when Bella went catatonic when Edward split. Also, it took me a while to realize that books three to four had transformed from a romance to a fantasy, much like Tolkien’s work (Lord of the Rings) or the Harry Potter series.

Now my granddaughter wants me to try Charlene Harris books. Isn’t she Candace Proctor?

So, who has read the Twilight series and what do you think?

Is the first book a romance? My editor says ‘no,’ but she hasn’t read it. I give it a resounding ‘yes’.
