I agree with y'all about Midnight Sun - but I still think you HAVE to read Bella's side first for Edward's to have that AHA! feeling. I really wish she would have made it to the meadow scene, thought before it got leaked, because that's the scene that STARTED this whole series (on her website, it said the idea came from a dream of the meadow scene). I also agree to some extent on her writing - it's sort of juvenile, but creative - but it works for her intended audience. I don't know if I could have read 2,500 pages of a "serious" author like that.

I'm working on her other book right now - The Host. It's an "adult" book, and the writing style is a bit different. She calls it "Science fiction for people who don't like science fiction". I'm not 100% sold on it yet, but I think that's partially due to me expecting Edward to race in any second in a Volvo and drag the main character away. However, if it ends like I think it's going to end (I'm about 3/4 through), I'm going to have to agree with everyone on the author taking the easy, neat & tidy cop-out endings.
