Twilight Chapters 1-6.

And... I'm finding it fairly slow.

Also, I'm rather pissed that the new girl, who's relatively emodepressed that she has to spend time in GloomyTown, has all the boys clamouring to be Friend Numero Uno and wanting to go out with her, even though she hardly provides any stimulating conversation whatsoever, aside from replying the person with the question of the hour / day.

Things must work differently in small-town America.

So far, it's the occasional conversation between Bella and her father, and her annoying friends, and Edward. And Edward saving Bella from the skidding van.

We have also have a bit of back-and-forth between Bella and Ed, even though some parts don't make sense. I mean, he keeps glaring at her and telling her to stay away from him and that he won't be a very good friend, and the next he's asking her whether she needs a ride to Seattle, and to ask him for. We know he means it, and we also know he's half-assing it, because unless you've been living under a soundproof rock that also doubles as a nuclear shelter, *spoiler* Edward is in love with Bella.

And there you have it ladies and gentlemen, the definitive men's guide for scoring with chicks. If there is a girl you like,

DO:

• frequently snicker (this is crucial); and
• give her mixed signals about what your intentions are.
  

DO NOT:

• be clear on anything, especially on your feelings towards her. 
  

This hot-cold combo will annoy and infuriate her to no end, and eventually (about two months or so), she will start hyperventilating whenever you're within the two-mile radius.

NOTE:

• Will only work if you are GOOD-LOOKING. 
• Alternative: PLASTIC SURGERY.

One part about the book I did appreciate was how straightforward Jacob was in telling his tribe history with Bella. I haven't read any further, but I hope this saves us some time on Bella looking up the Google and doing research on something so painfully obvious (as per the movie).
