Yes, this book has lots of technical issues, and could have used some more editing; but the concept behind it was cute IMO. Ultimately, this book was about a love story; for those people who are hopeless romantics, this book can be enjoyable. Keep in mind this book is FICTION and therefore not meant to teach our youth anything; so I am not sure why readers criticize actions and decisions made by Bella and Edward because it is all FICTION. There is no moral to this book. It is simply about young and innocent love.**sigh** 
The series is enjoyable, for light fun reading, cheesy romance and fantasy. Would I call it the best series ever, NOT, but it is easy to read and gets your imagination going; especially if you have watched the movie (Edward is cute). If you are looking for a complex and well written book, then this might not be for you. If you are looking for something light and you have nothing better to do, you might find yourself reading all 4 books!
Light Headlight For 2002

Surpassed expectations. When I was bike commuting 14 miles every morning in the dark, I needed floodtides of light … and I spent big bucks to get it. Now I’m older, wiser, and have scaled back the morning ride … taking the bus most of the way, but riding all the way back in the afternoon. So I needed a good, strong light for two short jaunts … one to the bus stop and another from the drop-off point to my office … about a mile each. And the roads were lightly traveled, but dark.
Not wanting to shell out the hundreds of dollars I had in the past, I tried some of the cheaper lights … all of which were very disappointing. But after reading the reviews on this Planet Bike 3044 Blaze 1-Watt LED Headlight , it seemed worthy of a try.
And it exceeded my expectations by a long shot … providing a strong beam ahead of me right where I need it, with reasonably long battery life. It also provides enough light from the side to be seen, but doesn’t shine in my eyes, as some of the other models did.
Nice to have two levels of lighting, and also nice to be able to turn on the strobe flash … great for overcast afternoons on the way home … or just to enhance my visibility to anyone in front of me.
A great value for short rides in the dark.
