I enjoyed this book. I was honestly expecting it to be just a tad bit darker in terms of thoughts but instead I felt it fit really well with both Edward being a seventeen year old, even having been that age for decades. It mixed both the normal teenage urges on a mans side with the gentlemanly upbringing he'd had before he was turned and I enjoyed that immensely. I loved the books way more than the movies and I really love having the point of view from Edward. There were similarities, obviously, but there was enough added that didn't make me feel like I was just re-reading Twilight.
