You have to probably want to engage in the story in order to be charmed by her. Since I've gotten myself into it, I was carried away and therefore awarded five stars. It's a nice feeling, no longer trying to put down a book, although one really do not like what you read - just because you want to reach the point where everything will be fine again. Who knows heartache, sees the emptiness and despair that feels the protagonist. He understands also how they tried to carry on as flash moments of happiness and how it can quickly fall back into the void when the distraction is missing. That they can not overcome the heartache that one understands, perhaps only the romantic who gets involved in the story and feels that the love between Edward and Bella is something special. Critics like the description of Bella's grief be described too long, but in my eyes it fits, because only then it is credibly conveys. Just so the reader can sympathize and realize that there really is a very long time that the protagonist has to live through. Perhaps the writing style of the author is simple, but it writes directly to the hearts of the readers (at least to those who allow it).
Conclusion: I have forgiven absolutely personal five star. They are far from an objective assessment, but I was fascinated by "Twilight" and bin it been by his successor as well. Currently, I let myself be carried by "Eclipse".
