“Fluff....that's what this book is. This book was CLEARLY written for young adult girls who fantasize about their knight, or in this case, their vampire, in shining armor. Blach..... So many things irritated me about it including how on earth could an OLD, and you would think wise, vampire fall in love with a goofy teenager. Give me a break!!!!! And, I thought the author was beating a dead horse with the constant talk from Edward about not wanting to put his human girl in danger and the girl's constant talk about not caring if she was in danger. Edward has all the power and control over his little woman. Ugh..... But, even after bashing this book, I still finished it!!!! So, I admit that I enjoyed it on a teenage girl level! If you want to read purely for entertainment, because we all need books like that sometimes, go for it. If you're looking for something that goes beyond entertainment and the usual male/female roles, avoid it. I would love to see young girls (and grown women!) reading books that empower them and challenge stereotypical male/female roles instead of upholding the status quo.”
