UGH! WHY????

Let me start this off by saying that I am not a "Twilight hater". You know, those people who love to hate twilight...even if they did secretly love it when they were teenagers. I am not one of them I swear, but wow was this book one of the most annoying things I have ever read.

First off, Edward is whiney AF and it bothers me that he seems to think he knows what is best for Bella...excuse me sir, she can think for herself thanks. Secondly, there was not enough "new" in this novel to ...more

I own this book.

I loved this book. This is exactly what I wanted Twilight to be and more. This book not only taught us more about Edward as a character, further than his weird obsession with Bella but it taught us about the family dynamics of the Cullens and how despite their weird make-up, they genuinely are a family.

I heard Meyer is potentially writing two new books, but I would selfis ...more

Garbage.
The ramblings of a narcissistic prepubescent 15 year old girl who sounds like a broken tape recorder.

Bright side- I love the narrator, his voice is like smooth scotch. Easy on the ears.
