I have to say that I have women of all ages coming in to buy the series. I have had many comments on the books from other book sellers and strangers. The most I hear is that the author is a great story teller but the books are just not that well written; hence they are pin pointed for teens. I find that the adults that rave about them are the people who are not big readers. This is not in any way mentioned to belittle anyone, it is just a fact.

Ended up that I read them all in the space of a week! That was Christmas last year, and I haven't been on a book bender like that in decades! I still haven't seen New Moon, but I have to go with 'my" girls this time, cuz now my daughter doesn't think it's cool that we like the same thing! HAHA! And then... my husband was so intrigued as to what I was so engrossed in that he read the electronic version on his iPhone... and he really liked them and the way that she wrote -- so good things all around! Please don't write about how beautiful it is where you are -- HAHA! I saw the first one with my daughter who had not read the books, and we both loved it… so we bought all the books.
