spiderelsa's review against another edition
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
5.0
(One of) The problem(s) with this book is:
-- if you believe Edward, Bella is delusional and self-harming, and he is noble for trying to save her from herself, while also being deplorable (before that became a political buzzword) for continuing to bait her.
-- if you believe Bella, she has only now found something worth living and dying for, even though it's borderline toxic and abusive.

Like many, I have a complicated relationship with the Twilight saga. It is so bad but so good.
It is a terrible book, but it's unintentionally so unhinged and funny.
It also really puts me in the mood for fall! Especially when having the movie soundtrack play in the background while reading.
When I read it for the first time when the books first came out I read Twilight in Dutch.
This was my first read through in English and I have to say I was surprised to find out that Stephenie Meyer isn't a bad writer! The writing style is easy and enjoyable to read in my opinion. However, I will forever be convinced Stephanie was meant to be a thriller/horror author who for some reason stumbled into the romance genre.
All and all, I had fun rereading Twilight and will be rereading the rest of the series.
When the book first came out I read a bit of midnight sun. I was told it justifies a lot of Edwards actions when you read the story from his perspective. It did not. It made it worse. I love this dumpster fire of a book series.
Read at your own risk. You will never be the same.
Ps: Alice is and always will be the BEST character
