Recently, I've been reading up on Twilight, obviously...>.<" And I've found many a people who don't like it. Many who thought it was too glittery and simple with "no knowledge of real relationships". I also found some interesting takes on certain characters. I'm going to cast a few polls to try and see if more people think so much differently than I do.
My take on Character Depth.
Okay, I think it could have been a bit better, to be honest. She did well on Edward, Jacob and Bella. She went into some depth with Alice, Carlisle, Jasper and the main wolves (Sam, Leah, Seth, etc). But the rest? Rather...poor. Especially Esme. Other than the fact that she tried to commit suicide. That really saddened me, but maybe Esme just isn't a deep character. Like Rosalie (how shallow is SHE?)

I've only really started Breaking Dawn. But I should finish it tonight. And from what I've seen...yeah definite room for improvement. So far I'm really, really not pleased. Though, I'll admit Jacob and Seth and Sam are looking rather good. And Alice and Jasper are decent as well. I've never exactly liked Bella so it's rather unfair of me to judge her character when I'm so obviously biased anyway. But so far Edward has really, really taken a step down for me. It's lacking the something special that Edward had in the first book. He's lost more with each new installment in the series, I think. And this one is most disappointing so far in regards to him.

I'm sorry, you guys, but I absolutely ADORED it. XD The weird plot twists only made me love it even more. XD There's really nothing I have to complain about when it comes to this one.
Now, ECLIPSE pissed me off, but it's okay because all is well in Breaking Dawn. ^.^

I'm not saying I didn't LOVE Breaking Dawn...the only thing I wanted after the book was complete was to learn a little bit more about the rest of the Cullens....>.<

Now I haven't read the Twilight series, but I've heard good things about it and yet here I'm hearing bad things.
I kinda wanted to read the book, so would you guys say that it would be worth the time reading this here saga?? If it's not any good then I don't want to waste my time on it.
So yay or nay?
