2) Yeah, you spell it Renesmee.
3) Stephenie, StephEnie! With three e's!
I think that's a pretty good synopsis of Eclipse.

Thus, New Moon remains my favorite in the Turdlight Saga.

Bleh, I thought New Moon was awful. Bella has no life, she goes out into the woods and nearly dies for a hundred pages.

The Twilight Saga, you’ve probably heard of it, haven’t you? The new series written by an average mother; capturing the hearts of girls both young and old everywhere. It would be hard not to, being that it is currently in movie production, and the main topic of many conversations world-wide. What’s your opinion on it? Are you a fascinated reader? One of the growing haters? Neutral? Do you, like Mrs. Meyer herself, wish you were Bella, being whisked away by an almost invincible and never-aging vegetarian vampire?
The Twilight saga takes place in the town of Forks, Washington. The main characters name is Bella Swan, her name is obviously a pun, being that it means beautiful swan; when she moves to live with her father. The chief of police Charlie Swan does absolutely nothing in the series other than eat her daughter’s food and give her a truck. At her new school, Bella is instantly the source of several crushes, though she describes herself as plain in the beginning of the book. Her new lab partner is the magnificent Edward Cullen, said to be the most attractive boy in school, but still he is single. She instantly notices something strange about him, and after a hundred pages or so full of realizing you love someone more than you value your own life after a first date and being chased by creepy people you discover Edward is a vampire. I’m still not at the best part yet. Not only does he thirst for Bella’s blood, but he also sparkles like a disco ball. Maybe even more so. The rest of his family are also vampires, and they play baseball. Why, I don’t know. I guess they have nothing better to do other than that. Several other oddities are displayed, and never answered. They fight other evil vampires, that eat people of course, being that they are semi-realistic; and in the end defeat them, except one escapes. They were after Bella; because for some strange reason she smells wonderful and seems delicious to them and their disorientated taste buds.
New Moon, the second book in the saga, is kicked off by Edward dumping Bella; and the Cullens moving away from Forks. He believes that if he and Bella were still together he, or one of his siblings, might hurt her. Or maybe he just wants to be killed; or maybe he can’t stand her cowardice and weakness. I, personally, have not the slightest idea why he would do that. Bella, being that she has no life outside her near cannibalistic boyfriend, enters a stage of such depression that she does nothing else other than walk in the woods-for an entire one-hundred pages. This inclines that she has never been dumped before; she even says that Edward is her first real relationship, yet she’s got five boys living on her every word. Again, Mrs. Meyer has managed to confuse us. She soon discovers that insane activities, such as cliff diving, allow her to hear Edward’s voice in her head. When Bella nearly dies during one of these love-crazed stunts, she is saved by her friend Jacob, who ends up being a werewolf. I hear you, I hear you. Why can’t Bella meet a guy who’s just a normal human? I guess that’s just the way she is. Well, like Edward, she finds him irresistible and falls in love with him. What’s with this girl? Every guy she likes is some killer-creature thing. She soon realizes she’s using him, but continues dating him, possibly because she’s lonely and has no life outside the boy she’s dating at the time. Alice then comes to Bella, and tells her that Edward is planning to kill himself in Italy, and the two run off to save him. They succeed; yea.
In Eclipse¸
Breaking Dawn is the last book in the series; so far, at least. Bella and Edward are happily married as a human-vampire couple. Still, Bella wants more and after some pleading, she becomes pregnant. Yup, a human-vampire baby. Sounds absolutely wonderful, doesn’t it? Well, the odd couple is living in Italy (??) for some months when for some reason Bella pukes blood. Why? I do not know. Apparently it’s some part of the Vamp birth. Why exactly labor and the gag reflex are related is beyond me. It just so happens that Carlisle, Edward’s doctor dad (who is also a vampy), isn’t here. Though he probably wouldn’t have been able to assist much, being that a hybrid vampire has never been born before; so who knows what would happen. So that leaves part of Edward’s family, and of course, Jacob to help assist with the birth. If I were Bella (well if I were Bella I wouldn’t even be in this mess, and instead be back at home in Arizona where there aren’t any werewolves and sparklepires) I wouldn’t allow my ex-boyfriend to be here, as I was giving birth to my someone else’s kid. During the birth, Bella is in so much pain that Edward can no longer stand it. So, as a sharp-toothed response, he tears her open and retrieves the baby. Yes, he ripped her open with his teeth. During this awkward stunt, he injects his demonic poison in her, and she can now sparkle like them. Now she is a vampire like them. It was about time, anyway. It couldn’t last forever. The baby is a healthy girl, who they name Renesmee (?? Is that how it’s spelled?) Carly Cullens; as a combination of her grandparents’ names. Jacob, being the crazed person he is, falls instantly in love with this bloody hybrid and puts his “imprint” on her; meaning that they shall forever be in love. I think that would be awful. Having to love someone because of their single-sided crush when you weren’t even an hour or so old. And being that he used to date her mother. Ew. After only a few days, Renesmee, now part werewolf as well; can walk, read, talk, write and do countless other things that are impossible for children her age can accomplish. Meanwhile, Bella goes on her first hunt… in a cocktail dress. Who would have thought sparklepires can hunt in a cocktail dress. She actually ends up being a good hunter, and harbors an amazing vampire power. She has a mental shield she can use to protect other vampires and disable their powers. Years actually pass in the book, and when Renesmee is five, she appears to be eighteen. Then, the Volturi discover the presence of this freakish chimera and come to the Cullens. The Cullens were well prepared with an army of both vampires and werewolves. The real purpose of the “army” was to persuade the Volturi that Renesmee is the daughter of Bella and Edward; the Volturi simply called her “the immortal child.” The Volturi made an excuse to attack to the two, but it was brought up short when Edward’s sister Alice returns with another hybrid vamp. He managed to persuade the Volturi that a few hybrids were of no threat, and they reluctantly left.
THAT was the major fight scene of the series. There was no fight. We were ready for one, we had our shields up and our swords at ready, and they talked it out. That might be a good life lesson; but these are cannibalistic beasts, and they talk it out? Fans were outraged and wrote to Mrs. Meyer in pure innocence, and here is how she replied:
“Read it again and learn to like it (something along those lines, right?).”
Despite Mrs. Meyer’s ignorance fans still clutched their books tightly and pulled them into their chest; working to soak it into their hearts. Although most readers fell deeply in love with the books (the same love Bella and Edward showed, crazed love), some reviewers, including Stephen King, had other things to say when he compared Mrs. Meyer and Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling:
“Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people… The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.”
Still, Mr. King understands the wide-spread appeal of the series:
"People are attracted by the stories, by the pace, and in the case of Stephenie Meyer, it’s very clear that she’s writing to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a safe joining of love in those books. It’s exciting and it’s thrilling and it’s not particularly threatening because it’s not overtly sexual.”
Rumors are spreading like wildfire about Mrs. Meyer deleting all hate messages she receives in her e-mail. When accused of her writing being this, or her characters being that, she always replies “I wrote it for myself.” Continuously forgetting she published the books. When you don’t accept criticism and only read the good stuff about you, your writing will probably not improve. Though her writings shall probably get no worse, either.
In this wave of clashed love and hate over four books, publishers have taken the time to earn some love from both sides. The Harvard Lampoon released a Twilight parody dubbed “Nightlight.” Even lovers are cracking up over the book!
Mrs. Meyer announced that another book shall be made for her series; fans are shocked over this long two-year break with no new books to fill the gaping hole left in their hearts. The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner is a small episode that takes place during Eclipse. It’s about new born vampire Bree who was recruited by the surviving vampire from the first book, Victoria; to kill Bella. Why Bella? It’s not Bella who killed him—go kill Edward, save us from him. Anyway, it was originally supposed to be in the official guide (who’s due date has been pushed back several times) but was said to be too long and should instead be its own book. It is to be released on June 5th, before the third book is out in theaters. Though all readers of Mrs. Meyer’s books know how it ends.
Mrs. Meyer said once that if Edward or Jacob knocked on her door, she would leave her husband to be with him. She says Twilight was based off a dream she had…. No more coffee before bed, Stephanie! Or else you might dream about sparkling vampires again!
