The only vaguely interesting part was learning what vampires like to hunt when they're not eating human. We learn is that Edward's favorite food is mountain lion, while Emmett prefers grizzly bear. The Cullens, he explains, are very environmentally conscious hunters, which I suppose is considerate of them.
Mostly, it was the first chapter (of many, I'm sure) that was dedicated entirely to the Edward/Bella relationship. To summarize, the relationship dynamic is something like this:
- Edward is pretty, and all the girls want him.
- Bella is pretty, and all the boys want her.
- Bella is clumsy, so Edward occasionally saves her life.
- Edward is a vampire, so he is DANGEROUS.
- Edward sometimes warns Bella that she should stay away from him because he might suddenly snap and act violently toward her.
- At other times, Edward forces Bella into cars or follows her out of town without her knowledge -- for her own good, of course.
Will to Continue: 88 (-4)
I knew it! Vampire romance has arrived. And since it's pretty much the driving force behind the series, my resolve has been shaken slightly. But I'm still plenty happy to go forward for now; it hasn't even become painful yet.
