Although I have yet to read the Twilight series, I'm looking forward to it (maybe this summer after things die down from the movie...).
I am a die-hard Harry Potter fan...I know there's been lots of controversy about the books; magic & sorcery are hard to stomach for some people. My thought on this is if kids are excited about reading, can it really be a bad thing? I feel J.K. Rowling has brought the joy of reading back to many young people who otherwise may miss out...and I think it's a great thing. I haven't found another author who has created such a vivid world of fantasy since I was young myself and reading Roald Dahl...Kudos to J.K.!
I've also enjoyed the Maximum Rides series by James Patterson. I have always enjoyed his adult books about Alex Cross and the Women's Murder Club and feel that he captures the readers attention with excitement and suspense. This translates well to his YA writing as well.
