3 stars out of 5
This book has quite an interesting storyline - the murdering vampires in Seattle - unfortunately, it's partially ruined by too purple a prose in many instances. I understand that the love between Bella and Edward is THE thing, but I really did not have to have it repeated on regular basis, tinted by Bella's rose-colored glasses. It was unnecessary and way over the top. I did love the Cullens and the stories of the werewolves from La Push, them working together, the story of the Volturi - those were incredibly interesting storylines and I wish Meyer had focused more on them...
