Well it certainly doesn't help that Bella has no real personality. First person is great for getting intimate with a particular character, truly getting into their head and seeing the world through their eyes. But without a character to get intimate with -- being stuck with one that has no opinions or interest in the world around her. So it's like being intimate with an empty room.

I really get the sense that Stephanie Meyer would have preferred to use the second person, and turned Twilight into a "choose your own adventure" novel. But that's a bit too far for most readers.

Agreed, and this is exactly how Collins triumphed with The Hunger Games.

The fact that people consider them remotely comparable makes my skin crawl.
