Review:
I just love these books. Something about the story just gets to me. I was a little leery to read the whole story from Edwards point of view, since I’m totally team Jacob 100%. But I have to say it was entertaining. Don’t get me wrong, Edward does not disappoint; he fully delivers in the area of melodrama and in being overbearing. Man, he can go on and on at times being so dramatic!
Small aside – I’m a little confused as to why his behavior was just acceptable. If I found out someone crept into my apartment and watched me while I slept I would get a restraining order. It’s concerning that this behavior is portrayed as a gesture of love. I’m sure that’s how every stalker views their behavior. Anyway, fun fiction novel so moving on.
I absolutely love that you get more insight into the Cullen family! Instead of seeing them from an outsider perspective you get to see them as family. It would be great if each one of them had an autobiography. They would be the best historical fiction novels and I would read them all!
