I remain stubbornly ignorant of Twilight, and intend to stay that way. (I also never saw "Dances with Wolves" when it was hot, and don't intend to remedy the situation now. AKA "Look, Mom, I saw the footage and I KNOW there's going to be a canine being needlessly killed in there somewhere, because there always is when there's a wolf and scenery and music. Ain't watching.")
Seriously, I am nice to my inner 13-year-old. I even let her read Mercedes Lackey, provided she waits until they're out in paperback. But we're pretty much in agreement on "no Twilight whatsoever."
This book could have been interesting if Bella actually grew as a character, realized she was acting like a shallow twat, or realized that her relationship with Edward was dysfunctional and told him to take a hike.
Sort of like the Anita Blake books...I was nearly reduced to tears by somebody selling their notion of how to drag the series back on track. Basically boiled down to "French vampire dude has manipulated Anita into becoming the biggest ho in the midwest; when she breaks free, she hunts his ass down", but there were possibilities for genuine coolness there.

But I digress.
