Fascinating. I am finding the popularity of this book...interesting.

When you are talking about the different perspectives I could agree with, I am reminded of fanfiction. What I read is mostly fanfiction. Lately Avengers and some Legend of Korra. Fanfiction tends to make no bones about existing to scratch certain specific itches, and that's a big part of what I like about it. Another thing I like is the use of characters already widely agreed to be interesting attractive (in some way. Possbily you love to hate them...) So it feels weird to have fanfiction about someone like Bella Swan, who seems like such a blank insert-self-here type of character.
