I liked the first book like Twinkies as you say, but I had a hard time with this one. I had to stop reading it for a little while because it made me so annoyed. Bella is just so goddamn selfish and can't see anything else but Edward. I felt bad for her dad, and I had no sympathy at all for Bella when her friends weren't eager to jump back into friendship with her again after she essentially dumped them for Edward, and then went all catatonic for months. She was a horrible friend to them, and it takes one to have one.
I felt bad for Jacob too, for Bella using him and for letting himself be used.
And your Cathy and Heathcliff comments are right on too - another one of my friend made similar analogies.
Bella just made me mad with her utter disregard for everyone she claims to love.

I did like Alice though.
