I feel like I might just be giving this book a 4 stars because I love the twilight series. But once you get passed the beginning and the Wattpad vibe I personally think it's a really good book and I love the twilight series.

These books are honestly so special in my eyes. Like are they pretty cringe? Yes. Are the movies pretty cringe? Also yes. But if you just embrace that aspect to them, you will have a way more enjoyable time. And seriously I fully believe in watching and treating the movies like comedies. But also just the impact this series has had on pop culture is immense, and I still think there is entertainment value in it.
As for this book, honestly upon a reread, it is very clear that Stephenie Meyer was an amateur author, because the writing style is a lot more simple than I remember. Very much just stating the things happening. Which I guess is fine because this is just a YA book. But it becomes clear over the rest of the series that she does improve as a write/author.
But anyways, I actually think that Bella is a very endearing character in this book. Yes, she is awkward, but that is not a bad thing! And I think that in the movies, Kristen Stewart goes on to play Bella perfectly and very true to the book.
Yeah I just love this series.
Read my personal copy.

As a big fan of the films, I loved this book. Yes, it was cringy, but that's part of what made it fun. I love a good unrealistic romance to make me laugh sometimes

I really liked it. 4 stars. I've seen several reviews for this book while reading it, but strayed away from the ones that contain spoilers even though I saw the movie first. I hope that the quote Stephen King made about Meyer is someone's cruel attempt at a joke because it was just harsh. This book was not that bad. At times there were subtle differences between the movie and the book, then at times there were parts that I don't even remember from the movie; there were parts where I remember them in the movie but it was slightly different; I liked those 2 last parts the most. Reading this book almost felt like I was discovering the Twilight saga for the first time because it seemed like the books tell one story and the movies tell another.

Isabella (Bella) Swan is moving to Forks, Washington to live with her father and attend school there. Until she moved house (and state, for that matter), she had been living with her mother and her step-father (recently married). She didn't really want to move house all the way to Washington state, but felt compelled to, nevertheless. It had nothing to do with with a very interesting family that she would encounter, but more for personal reasons. How is it humanly possible to know what things will take place or took place in another city/state unless you are a genuine psychic? (my local friends with get the inside joke)

So she must step out of her comfort zone of Arizona's scorching heat in exchange for the rain filled days in Forks. She completely starts her life from scratch in a new area and eventually realizes there is something different about a family called the Cullen's. Everyone knows this story so it's pointless for me to leave out the Vampire angle. It had moments of suspense which didn't exactly keep me on the edge of my seat, but was interesting to read nevertheless. The 1st person perspective and focus on human emotions and the emotional lack there of was interesting as well. 4 stars.

My Notes:
March 23rd, 2012:
Pg 152, 30.52%: "Im starting to feel rather daft for forgetting how much I enjoyed the first movie. Naturally i'm noticing differences between the two. Who knows!? Maybe i'm just changing my mind about the series. This book is utterly fascinating."
