Thank you for this thread. Now I don't have to feel guilty about venting at the fans. I can do it here.
Sue/Stu overload, yes, cliche, yes, vampires should never sparkle in the sunlight, yes and again yes.
It would have done so much more for the plot if he'd turned into something horrid in the sunlight. At least it'd test Bella's infatuation.
And can you say unhealthy? What sort of message are we sending to girld when Bella finds out Eddie's been watching her sleep and her frist thought is not
Creepy...
But
You didn't hear me saying your name while I slept, did you?
It's a menace!
eek
And it wins the
Teen Book Award!?
For me, on Edward becoming shinny in the sunlight, is that it's atleast something different then the typical vampire. Whom would turn to dust or whatever. More creative in a sense. A vampire IS suppose to look attractive to lure prey in. Liked you'd see in any typical predator...or most...some..you know what I mean.
And I thought so too, about Bella not thinking that Edward spying wasn't creepy. I found it creepy too, but he didn't do anything to her. So it's almost a question on maturity of the reader, right?
I personally thought it was a well written book. I love romance, especially when it's somewhat complicated.
