Title: Ugh
Product review: I just finished reading this book and it was godawful. I realize that maybe it's too much to ask for some actual character development in a book that is aimed at young teenagers, but still the author gave no reason to even *like* the characters. Bella is a completely boring, two-dimensional character; every time she wondered what Edward saw in her, I was thinking the exact same thing. And beyond the fact that he's pretty, I can't see any reason why she would love Edward. For the vast majority of the novel, he acted like a psycho jerk with worse mood swings than pregnant woman. And this book repeatedly violated one of the fundamentals of good writing: show, don't tell. We had to listen to Edward drone on and on and on about what a vampire is, and how he was changed, and how his family came to be, blah, blah, blah. So boring! I had to force myself to finish it. Needless to say, I will definitely not be reading the sequels.
