Bella doesn't stay in character - that's why people are so disappointed in the book. Edward doesn't stay in character either. I won't spoil the series for you but people are not upset because of the anti-abortion stance. If you go to the Amazon site - you will see that out of 1000+ post 1 is about the "religious" aspects of the book.

I only began reading the books a month or so ago (and what can I say, it's summer!) - the books are fluff. The problem here is that her books have been equated to J.K. Rowling but without the detail and plotting. Breaking Dawn is so far out there from the other three books it's as if someone else wrote it. THAT is what fans are upset about.

I’ve been reading Creighton this summer, a bunch of his old books I hadn’t read before (Sphere, Timeline, Next, Airframe). I just started the Twilight series because I needed something to do at the Breaking Dawn party.

We are also working through a book on CD series that I listen to when we are driving on our vacations. This summer we are doing the “Uglies” series from Westerfield. We started with the 4th book because we didn’t know it was a series. But the 4th book was different enough from the first three that it’s not a big deal.

I do a lot of teen books because of listening in the car. I actually like most of them. I really liked the Eion Colfer series about Artemis Fowl.
