I was a fan of twilight before it became popular so I was able to read the books before the movies came out and I think that really helped me keep an unbiased position when I chose to read this book. I was so disappointed.. seeing how this story plays out, it's frustrating because I feel like I dont even know Edward or Bella. Even if you just pretend this is a new story with new characters, it's still not the quality I expected from Stephenie Meyers. She has done such a wonderful job with the earlier books, this was just a complete miss for me. If she were to write more in the future, I would read however.
