I wasn't sure I would like this book or not. Half of the people who read it said it was great and the other half said it sucked. So pretty much had an open mind going in.
I liked it! A lot. Stephenie Meyer is so good at describing the details of what is happening that you feel like you are there. I dreamt about this book almost every night.

I really liked this. It really does explore the meaning of family and of being human. I like to try to second guess the writer when I read, and I was only right about half the time, so I enjoyed when I was right, and I enjoyed when I was surprised.

I enjoyed this book. Takes you on a path of bigotry, fear of becoming extint, forgiveness and ultimate love and sacrifice for the greater good.
