I had to muscle through all the awkward sex scenes and the Jacob angst, and just as it was getting ready to get totally awesome with a battle with the Volturi, BOOM, the damn thing ends. There was this huge build-up of tension and then it just ended, and I was like, "Whaaa?" Such a lame ending.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-15033863387522288782011-12-07T07:06:26.800-06:002011-12-07T07:06:26.800-06:00Burnout may be the issue, though I'm not sure....Burnout may be the issue, though I'm not sure. I think they were all riding on the Twilight high and so kept getting progressively worse. Speaking of which... see this movie yet? lolAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102250492155489672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-26891860559302653152011-12-04T19:51:22.724-06:002011-12-04T19:51:22.724-06:00I actually liked this book the best out of all the...I actually liked this book the best out of all the Twilight books, but maybe that is because things just got so absurd. I think Bella is much more interesting as a vampire. <br /><br />Yes, the movie was quite boring. It probably would have been better if it was not spit up into two; however, I doubt that Summit is really interested in making good films. <br /><br />Your recaps have me curious to re-read the series though. I was ambivalent about the series the first time around but I couldn't stop reading them. I'd like to know what I think about them now. As Izzybella says, trainwreck.<br /><br />-jeharaquirky girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13157385874399477807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-28740201670738712572011-12-04T19:32:14.225-06:002011-12-04T19:32:14.225-06:00One of my students wrote a summary of this book --...One of my students wrote a summary of this book -- Holy Crap! -- I have post-traumatic stress just from reading her quick synopsis of the birth.

The more of your reviews I read on this series, the more I am sure that these books are not for me. I can't fathom being entertained by all this, and think it might be perfect for all the angsty teen girls out there, but not for me!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-77863071932785618772011-12-03T08:31:26.433-06:002011-12-03T08:31:26.433-06:00You've restored our faith in you by being bore...You've restored our faith in you by being bored!
