Astrid's Description: 
 An undeveloped girl, Bella, selflessly moves to a small town to bring her mother happiness. Upon seeing her father, there is an immediate awkwardness that lingers in every conversation and scene they have together. Throughout Bella's first day of school, she angerly corrects everyone on their use of her real name. But she says little else to any of her classmates. The only people she is actually interested in are the Cullens. They are a strange and very beautiful family that moved to the small town of Forks two years earlier. Bella takes a particular interest in Edward. A boy that is somehow more handsome than the others. Their weird relationship starts with him being rude to Bella. However, the second he apologizes, it is as if he had never said or done anything to Bella. When Bella finds out that he is a vampire, instead of being afraid for her life, she wanted him even more. Because who the hell cares about their own life, right? A human with a vampire is bound to eventually bring trouble and trouble is definitely what they found. 
 All right, here is a quick list of everything (that I can think of) that bothers me in this book. 
 All of the characters do absurdly awkward things. 
 Bella's relationship with her father never gets beyond that awkwardness. There is a difference between a quite relationship and an awkward one. 
 Bella is emotionless until it becomes convenient for her to have emotions. 
 You are told a lot of information instead of shown. You are also given useless information. 
 Edward watches Bella sleep before they became "friends" and she is okay with it. What kind of response it that? A bloody stranger is watching you sleep! 
 Here is a little taste of what I am talking about. 
 Page 329 Bella is crying, and Edward does this. 
 "He touched the corner of my eye, trapping one I missed. He lifted his finger, examining the drop of moisture broodingly. Then, so quickly I couldn't be positive that he really did, he put his finger to his mouth to taste it." 
 You cannot tell me that is normal behavior. It is odd and gross. 
 Page 295 Charlie, Bella's father, was gone all day fishing. When he got home, this was their conversation. Keep in mind Bella has now lived with him for a couple of months, they should be on better talking terms now. Also, Bella spent the entire day with Edward and had no need to rush off to see him. 
 "'How was your day?' I asked. The words were rushed; I was dying to escape to my room. [to see Edward] 
 'Good. The fish were biting...how about you? Did you get everything done that you wanted to?' 
 'Not really it was too nice out to stay indoors.' I took another big bite. 
 'It was a nice day,' he agreed. What an understatement, I thought to myself." 
 I get that she wants to go see this guy she is crushing on, but the conversation with her dad is stiff. Why is it that the only relationship she intends to work on, is the one with a vampire? It is irritating and not how people behave. 
 Page 326-329 Bella cries at a song that Edward is playing, but they are also talking about the house, the coming vampires, and his family. Yet, with the conversations, she cries at the song he has been playing the entire time? Where is the reason? 
 It is mostly the useless information that bothers me. I don't really need to know what was made for dinner or what Bella had for breakfast. Though, I do understand that it can help add substances to a character. I guess I just wish there was more to give us than her meals. Does that make sense? 
 This last one is mostly the creep factor. I mean I am sure all of us are guilty of watching someone we love sleep. But come on, he was doing it since the day he decided to try to be nice to her! That is disturbing! Page 303 "'Do you remember the day Mike asked you to the dance?' 
 I nodded, though I remembered that day for a different reason. "The day you started talking to me again." 
 ... 
 "That was the first night I came here. I wrestled all night, while watching you sleep..." 
 What does Bella do? Nothing! She gets caught up in the fact that he was jealous. Just ARGH! Will someone please tell me that I am not insane and that there should be a more rational response? 
 One more thing that I did not list above. This book promotes taking the blame for things that are not under your control. Edward gets pissed at a situation or his lack of control, and Bella blames herself. Like, okay it is your fault that you are human and have blood in your veins! In case you missed it, I was being sarcastic. There is little argument given to show that this thinking is WRONG. It is bothersome that many young girls look at this book as some beautiful relationship.
