Umm... okay, look. Objectively, this was not great. I didn't enjoy the narrative voice very much, though I guess it made sense that Edward's thought processes worked the way they did, given the era he's from and the fact that he does next to no socializing with anyone substantially younger than him. Also, of course there are the issues with the mediocre-at-best, terrible-at-worst portrayal of the Quileute tribe, the annoyance of Bella's inhuman levels of clumsiness, list goes on.

That said, subjectively, this was a cheesy but incredibly fun time, had me in all my nostalgic feels, and added a lot of depth to Edward's character and motives. Also, if I wasn't in the literal worst reading slump of my life right now, I feel like I would have read this in one sitting, which says something for how easy to devour it was.

I dunno, man. I'm glad I borrowed it from the library because I don't feel a need to own a copy or give this author more of my money, but I'm also glad I read it. /shrug
