    Wow, I remember when Twilight first came out not that many people bought it, and the movies been scheduled for production I think in Feb. of next year.

    The fourth one is going to come out soon.

    A lot of people have killed the book for me though and I already knew about Jacob from just reading Twilight.
    I'm giving the book another chance and I'm reading it this time from cover to cover. To be honest I don't really like Bella but I have to bear with it because it's in her POV. I don't know, I just never liked her I guess. Edward on the other hand, of course the girls here love him.

    I am a Bella Edward person to, but in the last book she had no one to blame for her troubles but herself... (and slightly Jacob, but she did lead him on in book 2 so…)

    I love this series, and I adore dear Edward...and honestly, if it weren't for the Cullens, I would have chucked these books out of the window by now. I absolutely loved the first one, it was really well done. The second one was completely unbelievable, and the third didn't satisfy me. What are my main problems with the series? Their names are Bella and Jacob.

    Bella is, as far as I can tell, a Mary Sue. I'm not talking about the kind of Mary Sue with no flaws, because a Mary Sue is not neccisarily a character with no flaws. The definition of a Mary Sue is a badly written character. Some might hate me for this, so I apologize in advance. When writing, it is usually a bad idea to base the main character on yourself, and Stephanie Meyer did just that. I saw on her website that Bella is supposed to look like her. That is another kind of Mary Sue, by the way: when the author puts an improved version of him/herself into the story. Plus, did you notice that in the first book, Bella has about seven guys drooling over her? Yet she's supposed to look like a plain girl. How are girls reading the series supposed to relate to that? However, when you think about it...she's meant to be plain, yet in Italian her name translates to beautiful. I also think Bella needs to get her priorities straight. Edward should not be what her life revolves around, there are plenty of other things in life to enjoy and she should consider that before giving up everything to become a vampire. In the second book she was just pathetic. She spent months and months moping around when she could have handled it maturely and not like some whiny, melodramatic dumpee. Did she really have to clutch at her chest to hold together the "hole in her heart"? Please. She also shouldn't be jumping off cliffs just so she can hallucinate about Edward. That's probably a sign of mental instability.

    *breathes* Now, Jacob. I loved the kid before his werewolf transformation. Now he's pushy, arrogant, and a complete jerk. He kisses Bella knowing full well that she has a boyfriend and is not interested in him, and he can't seem to get over the fact that Bella won't return her feelings. In fact, he keeps insisting that she is in love with him. I kept thinking "get over yourself, jerk". Then what made me really, really mad was when, at the end of Eclipse, Bella realized she WAS in love with Jacob as well as Edward, and kissed him again. WHAT?! That ticked me off: muscular, arrogant Jacob is right about Bella loving him, what a nice boost to his ego.

    So yeah. Other than those major character flaws, the series is fantastic.

    I don't quite agree with that....


    Agree 100% if he really loved her he would have just let her go, by helping her realize her feelings for him he only hurt her more... I agree about the kiss thing to...

    I was sure my views about Bella wouldn't be widely agreed with, but I just don't like her. Not because I want Edward for myself (lol), I actually love the Bella/Edward ship. As much as I can't stand Bella, they are very cute together. I don't know, I guess I like her behavior when she's around Edward. Yeah though, Jacob crossed the line.
