This is another instance where I need a 1/2 star. It's not a 3, but not really a 4 either....

I liked it better than Eclipse, but not as well as Twilight. It was good -- very slow starting, though -- but not great. It did explore some interesting ideas of love and humanity, but it was weighed down with so much stuff. Words, exposition, plot... I didn't actually really enjoy it until the last 150 pages.

Maybe it does deserve those three stars.
