This book is a love story. 400 pages of love story, 50 pages of danger, then 50 more pages of love story. I liked it--it was cute and sweet (even though I do hold a grudge against lovers). I shall keep reading the series...
The Genesis verse: eating of the tree of knowledge refers to drinking blood? Is that why there's an apple on the cover?

Let's see, I just started it, my mom wants it after me. So if I take it to her at Thanksgiving, I can probably bring it back by Christmas or New Years (IF she reads it). Or do you want it first? Either way works for me! Because I could give it to you at Thanksgiving and take it to her at Christmas. Are you looking for something to read these days? Am I still talking???


pretty much sums up my internal dialogue while reading it. and yet, i too shall eventually read them all, because i. just. can't. resist.

Oh, sigh. I'm glad I'm not alone. Ha!

although really, i'm probably just a masochist.

Eh, whatever, they say sex is worth waiting for. (HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Riiiiiight...) You think it'll be all romantic and stuff?

Oh, wait. This is fiction we're talking about here.



It makes Twilight better when you know all of this other stuff from Edward's perspective. Plus he's so much more interesting.
Meyer only did 12 chapters of Midnight Sun and once you're done with them you don't want to go back to Bella's narrative. I found myself trying to anticipate what Edward would say and do and think in the rest of the book had Meyer finished it.
What can I say? I tried to fight it, but I too got sucked in.
