J.'s Friend Comments

I understand what you mean. In the third book I wasn't a big fan of Edward's. He was more controlling and possessive in that book and I would just yell at Bella to grow a backbone. I didn't find those qualities very attractive regarding his character but they did make him more realistic / human. The fourth book was better in the whole feminist regard. Bella's character is physically a week one but where she lacks in physical strength she makes up for it in her spirit and bravery. Once you get to book four I think you'll see that her character goes through a well needed maturity transformation and while she still "needs" Edward she certainly find her own meaning. So for girls especially young ones who follow the series I think Stephanie Meyers kept them in mind when she wrote Breaking Dawn. Happy Reading and keep me posted.
