Wow, this was bad. I'd been hearing about how fantastic this book was from co-workers so I was really excited to read it. I almost purchased it, but I decided to wait for it from the library. Thank Goodness!The story starts off very slowly with the narration from a dull 17 year old. It drags on about how she hates her life in the new town, blah, blah. Then to she becomes obsessed with the mysterious abnormally attractive dude. She notices some strange things about him. This part, after we stop hearing about Bella's family life and before she gets to know Edward is the best part of the book. After she discovers his secret and they become closer the story just drowns on. Its just filler until the silly ending because how many different ways can they say I love you? How many times do we have to hear Bella whinning about being ordinary and Ed exclaiming she's perfect? HOW MANY TIMES CAN BELLA BABBLE ON ABOUT HOW PERFECT EDWARD IS?? BLAH, BLAH!!!!!I read the second book because I got it from the library at the same time. I didnt have a desire to read it after I finished Twilight and had to force myself, it was only marginally better. I have no desire to read the last 2.I cant understand how grown women actually like this trite drivel, I'll be giving my co-workers a firm talking to when I see them.
