Let's face it; Bella is about the most howling Mary Sue ever to be published. Everyone fancies her despite she has all the charm and personality of roadkill, and what she does show is either tremulous skank or outright bitch, and finally her 'endearing' trait of clumsiness is just irritating or makes me wonder if she doesn't have some kind of neurological disorder.
Add to that; there is absolutely no actual romantic set-up, just a lot of whining; the drama and the action is handled with horrible ineptitude and the dialogue creaks when it tries to be anything more than superficial.
Of course the characters look vacant; they're about as realistically deep as a comic-book puddle.
