This book is four hundred ninety-eight pages long. Why does a vampire romance novel need to be four hundred ninety-eight pages long?
I read long books all the time, but I've never read one that was such a slog. I would rather read a pompous Freudian postmodernist history filled with fifty-dollar words that aren't in the dictionary than this book. The Name of the Rose feels shorter than the 40 pages of Twilight I've read so far. WHY is this book popular?!
So on the fortieth page, Edward is in the cafeteria at lunch. This upsets Bella so much, she gets nauseous. I guess the idea of anyone -- or at least a pretty, rich white boy -- not liking her upsets her so much her body ceases to function properly. I really do not like this girl.
( No, really, why is this book popular? )
