The plot is (obviously) very similar to Twilight which takes away some of the suspense.

I'm not sure how much of my pure enjoyment of the book is because of the nostalgic aspects of it, but does it matter?
The things I liked about this book:
- Edward's inner monologue and the general tone of the book match his age. The long-winded sentences and em-dashes and the occasional use of words that have fallen out of fashion match the time period he grew up in, which was a very nice touch.
- He's actually quite scary. Seeing Edward from inside his brain instead of from inside Bella's cotton-candy brain shows him as the monster he really is.
- He's super stupid.
- There was a lot more added lore and background for vampires and side characters (the Cullens, and also others).
- Seeing Bella through his eyes made Bella have more of a personality than she ever did before.
- It was a little too long. Towards the end I got a tiny bit bored.
- Rosalie was fucked over. Just come right out and say you hate feminine women, smeyer.
Obviously, it's nowhere near a perfect book. Most of the ethical problems with the first books still apply, but to be honest I don't gaf. I didn't read this book to read high-class literature.
