Twilight update

Took me five days to get through "Twilight" and "New Moon" (only because I had to study in between... So much for prioritizing...). "New Moon" was depressing like hell, I'm really glad I've finished it. So far - 113 pages into "Eclipse" and a hope I'll be able to finish both this one and "Breaking Dawn" in a week or so. "Breaking Dawn" is a bit longer, but all in all the fond's pretty big and spacey, so it's not my normal 30-35 pages per hour.
The books aren't bad - they're quite simplistic, not much beneath the surface. The first-person narrative doesn't help on that section, and the fact that the story never once deviates from that narrative is also removing quite a lot of the possibilities for a deeper story.
All in all, I am enjoying the story (it's a good story), and some parts are really great (Charlie and his attempted sex talk with Bella, for instance...).
Can't really wait for Bella and Eduard to get married to see what happens then...
