Eh, I'm 'supposed' to be on hiatus, but a certain guy named Steve linked me this. I read the books before ever watching the films, I do that with anything - except for Harry Potter, because well.. my younger brother and sister dragged me to the theaters before I could get my hands on their copies.. lol. Anyway, I'm not getting into the movies, but the books, as you progressed through the series got noticeably worse. SM didn't care about creating plot-holes or backing herself into a corner with her plot either. When she got to a point where her defined rules needed to be broken to go on to the next step that she wanted - well she broke them. Its fiction, but you can't have a linear story line, that's progressing ok, creating rules and character limitations, and plot points that people will remember.. Then turn around and shatter them or veering completely off course.
So, Twilight was ok - it was a bit too stalker prominent, but heh..
New Moon, was this huge depressing pity party for Bella Swan, where it was ok for her to use people to find a little bit of happiness. Happiness that she didn't deserve or work for in return.
Eclipse created SO many plot-holes for what was to become Breaking Dawn.
Breaking Dawn broke EVERY rule that SM created in the series. She changed all of her characters... it just went to shit after Eclipse.. lol.
