No excerpt for this one. It doesn't deserve one. Clearly, I did not like this book enthusiastically as the rest of the crazed teenage girls (and oddly enough of the twilight moms) who frolicked over this book. I will grace you with a summary. Isabella (Bella) Swan moves in with her father in Forks, Washington, when her mother gets married. Forks is a gloomy place, raining most days, and very few sunny ones. What a perfect place for creatures of the night to spur up and grow, right? She becomes obsessed with Edward Cullen and what he truly is. This books is in the view point of Bella, and she is, with the most respect, a little whiny. As an average girl with nothing but an infatuation with a boy who also happens to be a vampire. To me, it's simply just another romance novel, not truly my cup of tea. The story built up trying to be some sort of epic romantic adventure but biffed to an anticlimactic end. I can't say everything is all bad about it, because I did end up finishing the book. When I read it, I thought it was... okay. Kind of an insult to deadly vampires that kill and drain people of their life force with humans actually having a fighting chance against them. That was my main problem. People, humans, have no chance against fighting the vampires in this book. Lame. We're supposed to be have a fighting chance. And they don't. (And vamps don't sparkle, just saying.) Overall, the book really needed some major literary improvement and some better story development. Cheesy romance doesn't make a good story. And popularity doesn't make it a good book.
