Let's get one thin straight, buddy. It is meant to be written like the FIRST book, but in Edward's POV. So it is not awful. You never thought while reading the first book, what Edward heard inside his family's heads? Or whatever else he heard. Stephenie Meyer is not lazy. She never made clear what Alice said in her head to piss Edward off, so I think it was clever on Stephenie's part. You are truly not a Twilight fan if you don't like this book. I love the series and the author. Good job, Stephenie! Plus, you must know that you said you would assault someone, over the internet. I'm sorry about your past and I don't think you see the characters clearly and Stephenie didn't say abuse is right. She inspired me to write myself. Edward never abused Bella, but I agree she is not the smartest character. Her parents care deeply for her. Yes, he is a vampire who can dazzle people; but there was no abuse. Or brainwash in the series. Edward, actually, doesn't think he is good for Bella. He truly does love her. This isn't an abusive book. Again, I'm sorry for your past; but don't take it out on the book.
