I, too, enjoyed the stories as ripping-good escapist entertainment. They were page-turners, and I admire someone who writes a narrative that you can't put down.

One scene that amused me in the stories (haven't seen either movie) concerns Edward's ability to read minds. A lot of the novels' conflict deals with how tormented Edward is by the chaotic thoughts of those around him. A waitress in a restaurant that he and Bella attend finds Edward very attractive, and Edward characterizes the waitress as "having a dirty mind." It was an effective device to show how Edward was a product of a different age. When was the last time you heard the phrase, "dirty-mind"?
