Honestly the worst part is EVERY CHARACTER IN THE BOOK is more interesting than Bella and Edward. Seriously. Including the guys who try to assault her in the alley. Even her vapid high school friends. ALL OF THEM. Carlisle's backstory alone has series potential. Even things that SEEM like they will be cool and relevant and important (like, oh, where Alice came from) are kind of dropped in like oh, yeah, here.
