This is why way back when I first heard about Midnight Sun it interested me. I would've much rather read the stories from Edward's POV than Bella because you're right, she acts like a typical teenager and all she does is gush and fawn over him. I lived through that part of my life, I don't want to read it. But Edward was going through this whole inner turmoil of morals. His fear of being a monster and wanting to redeem his soul (not original in vampire fic, but I always find it interesting) for some hope of not being eternally damned for something he didn't have a choice in becoming. While reading Twilight I constantly wanted to know what was going on in HIS head, not stupid boy crazy Bella...

I have read Midnight Sun... let's just say Bella is certainly not the only one guilty of gushing and fawning. Good grief, the book would have been twice as long as Twilight had Meyer finished it!

I recall a lot of laughably bad lines too... not well enough to quote them, more's the pity.

(There was some interesting character stuff, but it needed a whooole lotta editing to make it work. And given *ahem* BD, I have serious doubts in Meyer's editor's critiquing skills.)

I never did read what was leaked because I did realize that it wouldn't be what I wanted it to be. I liked the idea of it more than what she presented (so I heard). I've accepted that it had potential, but was in the wrong hands.

ITA - she comes up with interesting concepts, but is not so great at executing them.
