For some reason that provoked me to read the second, and the third, and just to finish it off I also read the fourth. It only got worse.
I blame myself for wasting my time, but seriously so many people (read: teenage girls) make a big deal out of them. I really thought they were terrible.

I did this too. My teenaged sister is a huge Twilight fan. I don't know why I actually kept reading them; a lot of the time I spent reading them I was thinking 'I could be doing something better...like trimming my toenails or something'. At best it was formulaic and predictable, at worst it was like the worst fanfiction that a 16 year old sex crazed catholic schoolgirl could write in her livejournal.
