Human falling in love with a vampire....or was it vice versa? Not a bad idea for a novel but sadly, Meyer executed it in a....not so presentable manner. Let's start with the two main characters. Bella is this dull, emotionless piece of human meat that gained popularity in school almost instantly. Her personality is boring, her backstory lacks the story...she just lacks so many things a heroine should have. No matter how hard I try to judge Kristen Stewart for poorly portraying Bella, I just can't. It's Bella herself, for being that boring character she is. Edward is not all different from Bella. He lacks emotions and although his backstory is slightly more interesting than Bella's it just isn't that convincing. He's creepy, stalkerish, and I don't know why a lot of girls find that attractive. I don't know about you, but I'd rather not have someone watch me sleep. That's creepy. Let's move on to the relationships the characters have with each other. Bella's relationship with her parents is confusing. There's barely any interactions with her and Charlie and scenes with them together are extremely awkward. I understand her family's broken up, but Meyer could've just put one or two scenes with Bella interacting with her dad instead of multiples. If it's awkward for Bella, what makes her think it won't be awkward for us reading it? Ah, Bella and Edward. I thought at first their relationship was going for a good start, until that part where Bella comes in to class and Edward smelled her. I went from "interesting" to "whatta hell." Edward wanted to drink her blood. Bella's a food source. Ok, so she has a sweet scented blood. I thought maybe Edward will try to lure her to a secluded place and try to suck all her blood dry. Maybe Bella has a resistance from his vampiric powers, making Edward's plan a flop. Then maybe Edward would try harder to seduce Bella, they BOND, and fall in love. But NO. Meyers decided it was ok for Edward to stalk Bella instead and watch her from afar. There was no real "magical" interactions between the two. Their dialogues are vague and short and emotionless. I don't think anyone would act like that to people they like in real life. They talk as if they're complete strangers. Their relationship did not develop well and it disappointed me how there was a lot of potential to it and yet Meyers did not use it well. Lastly, the joke about vampires. I'm not the only one who thinks the vampires in this book are a complete ridicule right? I mean, ok, they're gorgeous, that's something new. They don't sleep, they're cold skinned, fast and strong. Ok, that's reasonable. Then suddenly Meyers started adding things like vampires that can see the future, sense emotions, playing baseball, and the all time favorite—the sparkle under the sun. When I read the sparkle part of the book, I couldn't help but to think about Emma Frost and the X-Men. By the end of the book, I thought Meyers just took the word "vampire" and labeled a hottie who has X-Men power and placed him in her book. It took me a few weeks to finish the book. It usually takes me a couple days to finish a book that thick, but every time I continue reading, I immediately lose interest. I gave this a 2-star because Meyers' diction is actually pretty good and the plot itself is interesting, but it's the composition that put it down. I've read more books that are more scatterbrained that this, believe it. And that is why I gave this rating.

Good, not really suspenseful till the end. Not enough clues handed out to even guess make a guess at whodunit.
