The End


I was disappointed, then into it, disappointed, then into it. Even in the last 50 pages I kept changing my mind. But despite what all the reviews say. I'm not bothered by the all too happy happy ending. Sure I think literature has greater value when someone dies or some sacrifice is made. And the movie would be better if they had fought the Volturi (which I'd about bet the movie does anyway). But this wasn't written as great literature, nor with the intent to be an action packed movie. So hats off to Meyers.

I'm excited to see the inner city black kids starting to get into this book. I love when they read anything, let alone 2,400 pages of anything.

I'm definitely not a die hard fan. But I won't be embarrassed to admit I read the series. And I definitely did not fall in love with Edward like so many readers did. Eh . . . is all I have to say about him and Bella. I like Bella and all but Jake and Nessie's love is the type I want. And Alice was probably my favorite character. I just really liked her. She seemed so upbeat and "cool." In this book I really liked the Romanian Vampires. They were funny.

There were a couple of holes in the plot, but even my beloved Friends has its errors. One complaint I will make though, some words were really over used. I noticed that in the second book (my personal favorite) and it didn't stop with the next two. But like I said, overall . . . kudos Meyers.
