this book is one of my faveorite books from the twilight saga. if it weren't for very persuassive friends i would have never read it. but i am very glad i did. before reading this book you MUST forget all those things you've heard about vampires. this book is NOTHING like all those others out there. go to your bookstore and pick up all the twilight books they are the best, they will make you laugh, cry, and wish vampires were real.
