I kept reading waiting for the actual plot… could have been written in half the page count if eliminated all the extra attraction details, we get it, he’s good looking. Love story part was flat for me, see other notes. Can see why it’s banned. Will not bother with sequels or movie. Highly disappointed. I’m usually a big fan of vampire / human love stories.

i am a fan of the movies so finally i decided to read the books. i know what most people think of the books, they say it's terrible so i had low expectations but i loved it. shocking i know but i really enjoyed reading this. now the book isn't perfect i know that but i don't really care i finshed it in one sitting and it was a fun time and i liked how different it was from the movie. also i totally chose to ignore bella being 17 cuz that's jusy creepy

This is maybe one of the worst books I've ever read. I am legitimately unsure why my eleven-year-old self enjoyed them as much as she did. Probably for the reasons I gave it two and a half stars, which is pure entertainment value and being unintentionally hilarious at times. But seriously, I'm not sure how this book was even published. The writing is terrible, the characters are all incredibly annoying (all for completely different reasons), and Edward and Bella's relationship, which is held up as being romantic and perfect and star-crossed, is actually very toxic and abusive (one of their first ever conversations is just Edward gaslighting the hell out of Bella and it made me quite uncomfortable). This book (and the series) makes an excellent hate-read, and I'm definitely going to be finishing out the series at some point soon. The only people I think I'd seriously recommend this book to are eleven-year-old girls or someone who I really want to confuse. However, I'd recommend it to anybody else looking for something comically bad and cringey to read.

To start off I watched the movies first lol. This book contained a lot of direct parallels to the movies that were written well. A lot of scenes that I didn’t remember from the movies though that were eh. Some parts were down right cringy, coming from a romance fan. May I add though, some parts were really heartwarming and passionate! Overall a half and half book and hoping New Moon is a good as I hope it to be!

I found that this book was really good it’s even one of my favourite books but I found that the chapters were very long and it was kinda hard to read.
