But still I adore the series.


I believe everyone has the right to their own opinion so I won't try to change yours (not talking to anyone in particular) but I just want people to see different perspectives of the book. It's great fantasy that allows your desires and dreams to come true! Every girl (again, broken record) wants perfection like Edward and these books give it to them!
Sorry for chattin for so long, got a lil lost!

But you gotta understand, the two can be ridiculous. First, he leaves her after promising forever. Not that we didn't know that he would leave, but still. Even vampires are human enough to be a-holes.
Jacob is the sort of person I can love because I believe him. No love-at-first-sight nonsense. It takes time to trust. And what in the name of the Goddess was Edward doing when he left!?!? Unfortunately, I predicted/understood this, but it still makes him a butt-face.
But...because I love him, too...
I forgive you. ^-^

All of you saying that every girl knows she wants Edward is totally wrong! I hate Edward completly! Just because it's a fictional story does not mean he can be "perfect"! And I agree with meh! His "perfection" just makes him even more boring! he has nothing that makes him an indevidual! he's just edward cullen. And even being a vampire doesn't make him his own person because vampires are everywhere in the book! So, edward's not perfect and his "perfection" only makes him more un-perfect(is that a word?)! It's a little confusing, but what i get is that edward's fake perfection makes him non-perfect...right?....right!


Jacob was fun and funny. He is closer to what you'd want in a healthy relationship. A good guy who gives you space, loves you unconditionally and is enjoyable to be with.
For Edward, the pretty will never end, but neither will the boring and stalker-y personality. Eccch. Edward is exactly the kind of guy an undiscerning teenage girl would want and he's exactly the guy a naive girl doesn't need. Books and books of a teenage girl telling herself that she isn't good enough for this good looking guy? Just awful. Having someone stare at you while you sleep is creepy. If his chest is marble hard, how could that be comfortable to snuggle up against? Perfect boyfriend? No. Annoying, un-snuggly creepy bore? Absolutely.
There was never one scene where Edward and Bella simply enjoyed each others company. Anytime they were alone Bella is filled with anxiety that he is leaving her, will do better than her, blah blah blah. I think Bella just needs to be single and get some self esteem.

[Nothing Personal:]
I think that this was not one of the better ones just because Edward leaves. that was tragic.
But what I found from Edward leaving was that Bella actually had time to THINK.
Bella in a way only thinks about herself. She sunk Jacob into a great depression when she stopped hanging out with him.
But by far this book won me over, it was a complete and total inspiration.

Bella did become a whiny, moping teen, but we must remember that age seventeen she had already fallen in love, yadda, yadda, yadda, and i think it wasin her nature by then to be spoiled. She was accustomed to constant attention, and i think she was missing that as much as she was missing Edward.
The book as a whole was a good read, and opened new possiblities in the depths of love. I reccomend the book to any reader, male or female, mostly female cuz it's sort of a chick-flick though.
I like Edward, but i also agree with others when they say that Jzcob is a much more well-rounded character. Edward continually has corny lines or over exaggerated feelings. I find that Jacob is more realistic and a more amusing read.
Although Jacob is a more believable character, I think the series will end with Bella and Edward together. Stephenie Meyer's main incentive is to please her audience, and it seems that the majority of Meyer's fans think Edward is the better match.
Woot, woot, Stephenie Meyer, you got millions of people hooked onto a vamp series and then introduced a werewolf as the second love. Pure brilliance.
