On Thomas Maltman's recommendation, I read Meyer's Twilight saga this summer, mostly in August while my daughter was learning to swim. It took all of a week and a half to read all four books -- I luckily timed reading it with the release of book 4 -- a good sign, as poor reads I won't stick with.
What I liked: The first two books are PG, the last two PG-13 but not horrifically so. They are well written and have a moral undercurrent. Girls everywhere will read these books and start to form an Edward in their minds as an ideal suitor, and that's not a bad thing at all -- a gorgeous, attentive, smart, romantic 17-year-old who wants to wait? Find one of those on TV or MOVIES anywhere, I dare you.
Aside from the mom/teacher thoughts, the characters ARE interesting (We all need a Jacob for a best bud, right?) I would recommend them to anyone interested, with parental approval, especially on the last two books, as they get heavy duty at times.
