The protagonist isn't delusional. The author is. If you can even call them separate people.
Still, that's far from the worst mistake in the series. (Minor spoiler warning, if you care: ) For example, you later find out that Rosalie (Edward's sister) grew up during the Great Depression. This is what she says on her family's economic stability:
"My parents were thoroughly middle class. My father held a stable job in a bank... he saw his prosperity as a reward for his talent and hard work, rather than acknowledging the luck involved. I took it all for granted then; in my home, it was as if the Great Depression was only a troublesome rumor."
She also calls the bank a "really profitable business". It's as if the author has only heard of the Depression once or twice.
I'm sorry, but I just couldn't make it through the second book. I had to stop after they broke up (chapter 3 if I remember). The constant bickering about "Bella's" birthday just turned my stomach. She just seem too hung up on looks and age - almost bordering on a psychological disorder. And Edward...he just seemed more of a mindless strait-man to Bella's bitching. Almost robot like.
I really have to hand it to people who can actually finish these; they should get like a metal or something.
