I did it, kiddies. Okay, so I actually enjoyed this book. Of course, it has quite big flaws (the imprinting thing with Jacob), but, this book is probably the best of the bunch. I love vampire Bella. She's so much better as a vampire, AH. The first half of the book is pretty boring, but when Bella gets turned into a vampire, it gets so much better. Her thought process as a human was just so bland, ugh. The ending had less 'action' than the movie had, so it wasn't the best.
All in all, this series wasn't (edit: I didn't put n't at the end of was i'M SO) as bad as expected. A lot of aspects would have to be changed for it to be at least a 3 or 4 star series. It had potential to be a good vampire romance, but I guess it was just on the wrong wavelength.

Again, this is my guilty pleasure. I could relate to the characters, but there wasn't much to them. I thought it was getting exciting near the end - what an anticlimax that was!

(longer review will follow, doing this via phone)

After re-read: Put it down two stars because I think the writing style is horrible, the characters are flat and Bella has no personality at all. To say that this book is an anticlimax is an understatement. This book was even less exciting than New Moon, and that's saying something.

Loved, loved, loved this book! And I adore this story. I was really sad as I was reading it, knowing it was the last one. There were a few things that annoyed me though. The book was riddled with typos and grammatical errors and the entire second section was missing its Table of Contents. I know she was hauling ass to get this out, but what the hell? Edit much? I'm tempted to send a corrected version to the author demanding a revised version. Bella is MUCH more likeable in this book, if only she had been as much of a badass before...The other thing that kind of irks me are the undertones of Fundamentalist Mormon theology. Did anyone else notice how in nearly every relationship the men were considerably older than all of the women (I think Rosalie and Emmett were the one exception)? And the whole imprinting on children thing was just plain creepy.
