I didn’t expect to love love this book the way I do. 
Before the half way mark I was sceptical that my love for the original movie didn’t help my love for this book at all and that it was missing that same oomph.
Boy was I wrong, this book has all the oomph and more.
I love it so much and I hope others have the same experience

Eines Tages hat sich Stephenie Meyers gedacht "Omg ich will ein Buch über Aliens mit dem abgefucktesten Love Rectangle der Welt schreiben!" 
Das ist das Ergebnis. 
Chauvinismus trifft unnötige Gewalt und noch unnötigere Age-gap romance. Grandios. 
Insgesamt eine klassische "Was bin ich sehend?!" - Erfahrung.

I have started this book 3 times, and finally finished it! The book starts out very detailed so if you're at all distracted you won't be able to follow the plot (which is why I've had to try reading it multiple times). However, once you get past the initial confusion of understanding the plot, the book is very detailed and interesting. I don't think Stephanie Meyer quite made the jump from teenage-themed writing of Twilight to adult lit, but it's a good start. Overall interesting, now I want to see the movie!
