    			  This book would have a 4 for the storyline, and a 1 for the writing, so I arrived at a comfortable 2 stars.  It definitely made me want to read more into the series, but Meyer's writing lacked depth and development for her characters.  Each person is mostly one-dimensional, and they remain that way throughout the book (save Carlisle, he seemed to be the only one with any character development throughout the series).  I  enjoyed the book and finished it very quickly.  I would recommend it to young adults and women interested in a simple, decent romance novel.
