Agreed with everything that has been said. I read the second book as well because I was on a long flight and they were bogo in the airport. It pretty much sucked as well. Didn't read the third.
The books are horrible just like everyone said. Everything was poorly written. I read them all cause I just had to know how it ended. I think the second and third had even more sex. After a (short) while I just started skipping past the sex scenes. That made the books super short since they're pretty much all sex all the time. And all the same sex after awhile. I'll probably still go see the movies. They have to be better than the books since the books were so bad.
