Just awful writing. I really didn't care for it at all. It gives off strange undertone of obsession and the wrong relationship ideals... But its marketed towards young girls as romantic.

Everyone just loves this story because its about a guy waiting for a girl forever. GAH, its horrible writing and I've read tons of books and will continue to read books but meyers made me want to hit her in the head with this book. Its horrible writing, horrible storyline, horrible ending, horrible way to do stuff. Hate it! If you want to waste your life reading this horrible book series then be my guest but if you want something with good writing buy another book!

I hated this book for several reasons. First and foremost, Bella is a whiny little ninny. She has no backbone, and (in my opinion) gives the impression that being so emotionally involved with a relationship that you lose all sense of who you are as an individual is acceptable. I loathed this book so much that I couldn't bring myself to read the others.

My friends really seem to enjoy this book.

Really bad. I couldn't make it all the way through the first book. Bella was too much of an airhead for me. I really didn't feel any kind of connection to any of the characters. Plus, it was really boring reading.

Most over-rated book ever written. I don't understand the hype at all. I really did not enjoy it.

Horrible writing. I threw the book across the room about half way through it. The writing is just so bad. I finished it but would never read another book by this author. Bella was an endlessly irritating character - just toooooo perfect . . . .
