Everyone recommended this book and series to me. EVERYONE told me that I wouldn’t be able to sleep because I was so engrossed in the book. As a result, I pushed through even though I was bored to tears. In fact, I slept like a log after reading this book because it was sooooo boring.

What is the problem with this book?
1. The author is tooooo wordy. It would literally take her 20 or 30 pages what a regular author could say in 3-5 pages.

2. Everyone in the school thought Bella was soooo beautiful. I just didn’t get it. This girl got like 4 invitations to a dance. If she was all that, surely she wouldn’t have to settle for some creepy vampire who likes to eat bears.

3. We had to be told over and over again that Bella was clumsy. We, the reader, never got to learn of Bella’s so called clumsiness. We had to hear about her tripping, almost being kidnapped or raped, hitting her head in the gym and so forth. Someone that clumsy would have been dead or seriously injured years ago.

4. Edward has been 17 for years, yet the town didn’t notice it. In fact, Edward said he was born in 1901 which would make him about 104 at the time this book was written and Bella is only 16 so clearly Bella and Edward should not be dating.

5. Edward is sooooo hot yet no girl in school has snapped him up or stalked him?

6. EDWARD IS CREEPY–he reads people’s minds and he follows you everywhere you go–in the real world, his azz would have had a restraining order issued against him.

7. Edward treated Bella like she was a possession. In fact, he IS fighting the urge to eat her, but that doesn’t give him the right to be throwing her around. ONe time, he threw her on the sofa and his family thought he was trying to eat her (not the good way) but cannibal like way so they came in (NOT TO SAVE HER), but to get a piece of the action. I definitely wouldn’t want to date someone who wanted to literally eat me like a piece of pork chop.

What did I like about the book?

1. Unlike others,
Democracy and the Organization

I have found myself, a 38-year-old mother, prefering to read adolescent books over grown ups’ books. I have enjoyed the Harry Potter series and now, from others’ recommendation, the Artemis Fowl series. Eoin Colfer is a detailed writer who has created books that you find yourself wanting to read more of. Not perfect, but very entertaining.

I like artemis, but the Bartemaeus Trilogies are better.
