I didn't like it when she switched it around and put it in Jacob's point of veiw.
It was sort of comfusing.
But I still loved the book.
:)





read New Moon again, and I was almost sorry Bella had Edward (who is just so much better than Jake) because, in Jacob's own words, if the world was "normal" and there was no such thing as vampires and shape-shifters, Jake realy would be perfec for Bella. So, in some weird way, I was almost sad they didn't end up toghether. However, I stand by my first ideas: EDWARD IS JUST PERFECT!



"
There are few chapters that are in the begining of the book.



The question that came up for me was on the imprinting thing.When Reneseme is fully grown, in about 6 yrs, and her and Jacob get together, will he start aging again? I mean she will stop aging at a certain point as is evident from the amazon guy. The things that make you go Hmmmm

No, because she is half human. It's a glass half full kind of thing. Plus he imprinted, so it really doesn't matter. He has no choice.

I don't think so. As long as vamps are around he will be changing.
While this would be a great love-story twist (he starts aging again while she remains perpetually 17), Meyer doesn't have the balls to do it. Her whole freaking story ends with such a neat little bow. Going off on a tangent...it just really irritated me how Bella gets everything she wants.
Spoilers (if it matters): She was supposed to choose between Edward, who cannot give her a normal life, and Jacob, who can give her that normal life, but lets face it, he's kind of a hot head. So she chooses Edward and decides she wants to be a vampire. Great, live with it. Miraculously she gets pregnant...but the baby is going to kill her. Fine. Oh but she gets to have the baby and then she is turned into a vampire. How convenient. Even more convenient, for some strange reason she isn't the typical "newborn." Nice. More drama - the baby is aging quickly and will be dead before she's 15. But wait! For some reason halflings get to 17 and stop aging. Wow. Didn't see that one coming. And they all live happily ever after. One more thing: Bella doesn't have to lose Jabob either, because he imprinted on Renesmee. How sweet is that?
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the books, really. I'm just irritated at the ending. There are no consequences, alls well that ends well.





It was easy for him to "stop" because he was in love with Renesmee all along. He just didn't realize that Bella was the vessel, so to speak. That's why when Bella gave birth, he didn't feel drawn to her anymore. The part he loved was no longer inside Bella.
I never had a problem with the Jacob/Renesmee thing. I definitely did not see it coming. What I didn't like was that Bella gets EVERYTHING she wants. No real choices, no consequences, no regrets, no sacrifices. The universe just delivers it to her.
I don't hate happy endings, but there has to be a compromise. I wish Meyer could have at least stuck with Bella choosing Edward over Jacob. Finding a way to finagle Jacob back in is a cop-out. It's like she didn't want to piss off half her fan base, so she was like "ok, we'll make the vampires and werewolves allies...and Jacob will fall in love with Bella's daughter. Brilliant!"
Even the Volturi weren't that scary. I never for a minute felt the suspense that the Cullens might actually lose. Bella gets this superpower that evenly matches her with the omnipotent Volturi...how convenient.
Don't even get me started on how Bella was allowed to skip the newborn phase.
I probably shouldn't compare to Harris' Southern Vampire series, but at least Sookie has to make decisions that follow her into each book.

yah i thought they mite lose too--it was a little too quick of...well not even...a battle. nothing happen besides bella proving she had her sheild and tht it worked and stuff

It was easy for him to "stop" because he was in love with Renesmee all along. He just didn't rea..."
i completely agree w/ u! i guess bella had to go thru alot of stuff to be w/ edward like the whole vampire thing and every1 after her all the time but she kind of got everything any girl would ever want, the perfect guy with the perfect family and ur beautiful forever. and it only happened in a year
