I think "writing about nothing" actually puts it very well. In the first book the "action" sequence (approx' the last third of the book) feels almost tacked on, as if Meyer thought the book needed some other excuse to exist ... but despite this lack of substance I found myself just enjoying the ride. And isn't that what we read novels for, the journey not the destination?
