There isn't much I can say about this book that hasn't already been said here or elsewhere, and probably better. I will say that I caved and read this because a former friend of mine insisted that the book was way better than the movie.
She was wrong.
I will actually venture to say that the movie was superior because we didn't have to live in Bella's head through it. In fact, I spent the entire book envious of Edward because her's were the only thoughts he couldn't hear. Lucky bastard. Happy to tell him that he isn't exactly missing much.
At least the movie provided us with a handful of hilarious gifs.

"Did the part where Edward told Bella he can read minds just get lost to me within their annoying conversation or did he just say yeah that's how I followed you and she rolled with it like that's totally normal and not something a person should react to."

"Where did Charlie suddenly get the idea that Bella was going to sneak out? So much so that he detached her battery cables? I mean I can see him being a bit curious about what was with her the night before but not dismantling car level of curious and worried. Maybe Bella's just so bland any level of emotion is suspicious."
