^ Yes indeed. In the books, as well as loosing all their skin pigmentation, the vampires are also made extraordinarily attractive. All these are side-effects of the venom. They're also made very strong. The venom can't make everybody super attractive. A human has to be reasonably good looking to become super attractive as a vampire. Beautiful people become exceptionally ultra beautiful as vampires. However, Bella said that James was only average, or so-so looking. This is because James was very unattractive as a human... so the venom could only do so much. Thus, James was only average looking as a vampire. The movies changed this and made him into a blonde shirtless hunk.
