The concept here seemed intriguing. Most of my interest stemmed from defining everyone’s powers and the theory that this story line might be better from the POV of a character with personality. Somehow it still missed the mark. I’ve heard a lot of people giving Meyers grief because of the long, drawn out inner monologue of Edward Collin. Personally I liked this (with some exceptions) but even this still somehow didn’t play into the plot or do much character building, which was a missed opportunity to say the least.

The worst Boo I've ever read was Twilight New Moon. That was until this novel.
I don't think I've been so frustrated and I bored at the same time while reading a book as I was while reading Midnight Sun. There is just list upon list of pointless descriptions and the there are parts where it brushes past things I'd actually like to know, every thought Edward (and everyone else for that matter) is written which I wouldn't mind except for the fact that it is all the same damn thing over and over again, the dialogue is clumsy at best, Edward is still a terrible boyfriend who never gets better, and so much more i can't even begin to describe. 
This book was an absolute chore, so much so that it made me stop reading for several days at times because it just made me sad. It is so slow at times I literally began to fall asleep and it is so bloated full of needless description that it feels like a textbook. Jesus christ, this is the textbook of Twilight.
With this final review of the Twilight series, I can now tell you to never read any of these books. Watch the movies if you was to watch some funnily bad movies but other than that, avoid this series like the plague, especially this book. 
I'm serious, don't read this book no matter what, it will ruin you.
