While i quite enjoyed the pace and plot of the book, I found Bella and Edward's relationship to be unhealthy and way too obsessive. It worries me that countless 13 year olds are reading this and aspiring to this kind of ‘love'.
Case in point: it doesn't bother Bella that Edward (at that stage a virtual stranger) has been sneaking into her room at night to watch her sleep. Um, 911 we have a stalker in our midst!
I did however, enjoy the explainations of the myth of the vampire. Carlisle and Alice are by far the most likable characters in the book and I feel more pages should have been dedicated to their stories.
