OMG, a guy reading twilight! I'm actually re-reading it, but whatever. I'm not a hater but by no means am I a twi-hard fan. I actually think of myself as one of the very few people that don't love or hate this book. The summary so far: Bella moves to live with her father in Forks, Washington, where she meets a dazzling vampire named Edward who she falls in love with. She proceeds to meet his family and deals with her social life as she learns more about vampires. Whoa, hold up. Read the first sentence of the summary again. Falls in love with a vampire? I, personally think Twilight got way more attention than it deserved, but if it had to be famous, it should've been for the creativeness and originality of the plot, not for the Taylor "hot"ner. I know the whole story about her dreaming about this and writing it down, but still, this is a pretty good plot. Unfortunately, the good plot is ruined by terrible characters, which makes the narration really annoying. I would've liked this book a lot more if it was written in 3rd person, mainly because I absolutely hate Bella. She's very whiny and depressing and incredibly naive. It's annoying when you're always hearing her point of view on things. I know she switches to Jacob narrating in parts of eclipse and Breaking Dawn, but that doesn't help because I hate Jacob almost as much. He's very rude and way too arrogant. Edward is probably my favorite of all the characters, but he can be very stalkerish at times. Also, he says the absolute worst line in the book: "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb." I wanted to puke when I read that. It's incredibly childish and it does a terrible job at creating the romantic atmosphere the author wanted to create. There's a lot of times where the author fails at creating the intended mood, but the book remains bearable.
