I'm having a really really really hard time getting through the fourth book, Breaking Dawn. It takes a lot of energy. I'm not happy with how the characters behave. It stresses me out, and I have enough stress in my life without reading about it. It really needs to move faster than it does. I'm not even half-way though it. If the first in the series was written like this, I wouldn't have opted to complete the series. I'm going to finish the book before I comment on the entire story. But that might be a while. I've been reading about a chapter a day. Maybe this weekend back home I'll get some good reading time (might be better than dealing with my family...). I am disappointed with the writing. I've found a bunch of extra words and the wrong suffixes to words (adding an -ing when not needed). That too makes it difficult to read. I want to grab my highlighter every time and mark it... but I don't. That's the copy editor in me!

I'm almost done. Hang in there... Maybe I'll finish tonight. It's getting better.
