Review Detail

Reader reviewed by KitKat

So I'll probably be burned alive by angry teenaged fangirls for this review.

But really, where they see sparkling romance, hot guys, and true love? I see Bella, a girl with low self-esteem issues and a poor family life. She meets Edward, who becomes her obsessive, controlling, overprotective boyfriend. Oh yeah, and he wants to eat her.

Bella's life begins to revolve around her boyfriend to the point where she neglects every other social activity and what's left of her family life to... what, exactly? Sit and stare at Edward, since this is a "clean" novel? I'm not sure. But it's creepy anyways.

The premise and plot are lousy; the writing style is worse. Stephanie Meyer spends whole chapters merely rhapsodizing about Edward's beauty. Please, please, please don't buy this book.
