I attempted to read this because of all the
hype, and then I gave up and because it was so stupid, cliched and predictable
that I couldn't stand it. I don't like to not finish a book, but in this case I
made an exception because life is simply too short to waste on utter nonsense.
However, since then it has been on my mind and I have found myself at odd
moments wondering what happens to the characters. Yes I know I said it was
stupid and predictable, and yet … I'm drawn to it. This is really annoying. Now
I'll have to go back and finish it.

The writing is terrible, the characters are annoying at times, and yet it is the best most delightful series to read. You have to approach it as a young adult novel, and then you can put aside all the annoyances and just love the story and the characters. I stumbled on it before all the hype and fell in love and made all my friends read it and we are all in love with Edward and torn about all the decisions that must be made....please read it. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

Hi Erin, ok, seeing as you're so enthusiastic, I'll get back to it! I can't wait to be torn about Edward's decisions :-)
