I debated for a long time on what to rate this book (and whether I was even going to put it on here). This book was like a train wreck. You know you shouldn't look, but you know you're going to, and it's gonna be ugly. It was repetitive, the writing was bad ("Laters baby" drove me absolutely crazy!) and there was no plot to speak of (unless you count the sex as the plot). I do get the twilightness of it. I had a few other issues as well so I feel it's a 2 star book. And I was going to give it 2 stars but I'm already halfway through the second book so that doesn't really seem right. 
 So, congratulations EL James for writing a train wreck of a series that I am compelled to read, because everyone else is. 
 I guess I'm just another lemming.
