Much more interesting than twilight. Now I wish the whole series had been in Edward’s POV.

Edward Cullen I hate being in your head but I'd be a liar if I said this stupid book didn't take me on a roller coaster ride. I laughed, I screamed, I wished and prayed for your spontaneous combustion despite knowing it was a futile hope. This book is a MUST for anyone who read the original series. Sure, it might make you hate The Cullens more, or hate Edward more, or, well... hate any of the characters more (except Jacob—that's one character that was spared; so three cheers for you baby Jake fans) but you'll come out the other side a changed person. Definitely a darker read than Twilight or any of the follow-up books in the series, but trust me, you'll still laugh at the amount of lampshading and retconning Stephenie Meyer does. It's worth it alone to read

the car chase scene

so I'd say read it if just to read the chapter titled 'Race'. You can thank me later.

The worst book I've ever read. I have NEVER had such a hard time finishing a book, I seriously considered DNFing this book many times and if I would've done that it would've been my first DNFed book. It is DENSE and boring beyond belief.  I thought that this book might redeem Edward at least a little bit BUT IT DID THE OPPOSITE 💀! Before this book I thought that maybe Edward wasn't a pedophile and it was just grossly bad writing but I STAND CORRECTED. There is no doubt in my mind now that Edward is a creepy old man who lusts for teenage girls.

Even though I’ve read Twilight and knew what was going to happen, this was enough of a new book that I thoroughly enjoyed all 817 pages. You do get stuck in Edward's head a lot which made me flip back to see if this was something that was actually happening or just in his thoughts or Alice’s predictions. But being able to read this story from Edward’s POV was very entertaining and I loved it.

It's a very good book. It gives you a little more insight into Edwards thoughts and feelings toward Bella. 
The plot is (obviously) very similar to Twilight which takes away some of the suspense.
