I read the first two books in Danish and second two in English. I usually like to read English and American books in English, because so much is lost in the translation (For instance Harry Potter is horribe in Danish, the language doesn't flow well, most of the double meanings and subtle hints are lost etc.), but I actually think that Twilight is an exception. I think the translater used different translations in different contexts and that made the book easier to read. I was really annoyed when I picked up eclipse and found out excatly how badly written the books are. I'm still addicted, though
