"There's no defending something this bad, and I've lost a lot of respect for the people and editors that heap praise on this."
I so agree. There's just no excuse if you think this is good literature. Or even a well told story. A guilty pleasure, yes. But a favorite, a book to suggest to others? Hellllllz no!
Besides the fact that the books are not particularly well written, I believe the author tapped into some very important psychological/emotional/genetic? truth to the nature of a woman's desire to be wanted by the one she desires. Lucky for the author, she can take it to the bank.
the whole book was very dragging and written only from the point of view of a girl which i think did not appeal the mass.And I very much agree to the first comment where it is said that belle did not react when edward confessed his identity.It was very strange.I did not like the book at all.The book has been unnecessarily made that fat.And this plot is nothing very innovative as there has been innumerable similar movies in hollywood.
unnecessary exaggeration

LOL you guys are all extremely funny with your comments! I agree with everyone. Twilight sucks, but Meyer is out there with her cash. No one is going to tell her she writes bad anytime soon unfortunately :(((

i have been thinking why is this series so popular and this New York Times Magazine Article I read came first to my mind. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/25/magazine/25desire-t.html
