I bought the Twilight books and the Sookie Stackhouse books (I get them confused still) on the recommendation of a friend. I went all out and bought boxed sets of both series. What an idiot. At the time I hadn't heard of them so I am guessing it was before they became really popular. I found the writing in both to be poor and I couldn't bring myself to read them. My future daughter-in-law liked them so at least someone got to read them. I figured I was too old, grumpy and cynical for them to appeal so the fault was probably more with me than the books themselves.
I did like Harry Potter. It took me a while to get through one of them - I think it was the fourth book - but I enjoyed them nevertheless. I thought it was rather clever of the author to 'grow' the books up along with Harry as he ages.
