Helpful Score: 2
The first half of this audio CD is unbeatable. It's engaging, engrossing, and I didn't want to stop listening - this young lady's life was getting stranger and stranger...and speaking of stranger, this strange young man, Edward, was consuming my thoughts! Meyer revealed *just* enough information about him at just the right times to keep the story together.
The second half was terrible - the story devolved into a cheesy teen romance where every other sentence was "I love you," and "Are you okay?" Icky.
The reader was okay - her voice was believable enough as an older teen, but the way she pronounced "Bella" had to be one of the most annoying sounds I've ever heard. She basically whispered the name each time she said it, I suppose in an attempt to make it sound magical or something. It didn't; and on the whole, the story wasn't.
