Emmet Cullen... who?

I just realized something recently. Over the course of all four books, the author delved into the personalities and past lives of the vampires, all except one: Emmet Cullen. What do we know about him aside from his super strength, his friendliness, his testosterone sense of competitiveness, and his penchant for giving bear hugs? Or did I just forget a portion of the book that explained his story? If I didn't forget, and Emmet was, in fact, forgotten in the book series, then I believe it's a right shame. He has quite the potential to be an even more lovable vampire, if we knew the troubling history behind him, the fears he harbors behind his always cheerful mask.

Please comment if you can shed some light on this.

Now that the Twilight Series over, it's time to choose your favorite Twilight book!

The four-book epic Vampire romance novel series that is Twilight is finally over and now it's time to ask the most important question: Which book did you like the most? Do you think that the first is always the greatest and choose Twilight? Did the werewolf-centric New Moon tickle your fancy the most? Was the vampire-werewolf collaboration of Eclipse exciting? Or did you enjoy tying all the loose ends of the story the most?

I know it's a hard decision, so I'm putting up five (yes, 5) polls for this: Best Overall book, Most romantic book, Best in Drama, Best in Character Development, and Most action-packed book. Hope ya all vote!

Personally, Book 1 wins hands down for the romantic category. I caught myself smirking and smiling like an idiot to myself while reading through the pages of the first book, enjoying the relationship between the human (Bella) and the vampire (Edward). New Moon may be my pick for Best in Character Development because of the whole werewolf transformation that went through Jacob Black and his turmoil as he tried to stay human and maintain a normal relationship with Bella. Most action-packed? I'd say all four Twilight books are tied. None of theme had me up to my toes wondering what's going to happen next. But the premise of a pack of wolves and a group of vampires working together must have been the most intriguing, so I'm leaning towards Eclipse. Overall? I'm having a difficult time choosing, so I'm probably going to base it on your votes ;)
