My 12-year old daughter read this book a dozen times, so I finally read it. I get it. Meyer came up with a tanatalizng storyline, the modern-day damsel in distress and the indestructible knight that lives only to protect and love her. Edward Cullen is an interesting character and some of Meyer’s new twists on vampires I found interesting because they weren’t so campy; and then throw in the love triangle and you’ve got every high school drama queen’s wet dream. Meyer has some memorable lines and the book is mostly diaglouge and easy to read. So I get it; I understand why it’s a global phenomenon.
Not well-written, though. The narrative is filler, for the most part, rather than adding to the story. Most of the story is TOLD to the reader in conversation. Again, my daughter loved the endless dialogue (”It’s my turn to ask questions.” “No, it’s my turn.”) but I found it tiresome. Lastly, too many beats and no one “said” anything, they all “murmured, lied, repeated, or pointed out”.
Agents and publishers are in the game to make money, I get that. Meyer put together a billion-dollar story that adults and children could both read and enjoy. I applaude her for that. But she can be a better writer. Maybe if I read her later work, I’ll find out she did.

Very accurate and good for the price. Customer support is even better than the product. Got an scale upgrade via Fedex (next day priority).

This cable is the real thing in terms of quality, construction and durability. The other cheaper cables fell apart while this one keeps strong! I use it every day in a classroom and I love it. Highly recommend!
