I know this is a popular book, but I thought it was missing all the important elements of a vampire romance. The first 350 pages were all about who sits next to whom in the school cafeteria, and how to politely say no if you don't want to go to a dance.The last 150 pages were spent running away from a vampire fight that never really happened. Okay, it did happen, but it happened somewhere else, while the heroine was unconscious.My biggest complaint? Lack of angst. Nobody suffered. They talked about how some of them suffered in the past, but you didn't really feel it. The only feeling you got was of a bunch of overly calm high schoolers handling cafeteria politics.I wonder why such a bland book is getting such rave reviews, when there are so many more exciting ones available.
