The worst of the Twilight series. It starts off saccharine sweet, then becomes progressively more and more unbelievable - the final fourth of the book has become a long hard slog to get through. It's not the vampires and werewolves and associated nonsense that I have issue with - clearly, it's a prerequisite to suspend one's disbelief on that in order to enjoy this type of book, and I'm happy to do that.

DONE.
The good thing about this book is that Bella *finally* stops being all angsty. Too bad that only took 2000 pages.
