I ended up stopping with this book and then had my Mom tell me what happened in book 4. I'm glad I didn't end up reading the last book as I feel like she copped out. These ended up being fun reads for me but nothing spectacular.

I haven't actually read any of these, but I am pretty sure that I never will. It's interesting to hear that the enjoyment of these seems to lessen from book to book, and that you aren't the only one to feel this way. Though these books took the world by storm, I'm afraid they are just not my thing :(Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-33733613218131804142011-12-02T13:32:12.251-06:002011-12-02T13:32:12.251-06:00These books are like candy.

It's a romance and a YA book, but it's sooooo good. Also, it's set in Paris.Darlyn (Your Move, Dickens)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00979296421309409564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-85255307392454225752011-12-02T12:18:43.627-06:002011-12-02T12:18:43.627-06:00Yeah, it it seems that these love triangles starte...Yeah, it it seems that these love triangles started with this series! I hate love triangles that are NOT love triangles. There's was NO doubt in my mind that Bella was going to end up with Edward. So annoying. I don't remember the books that well but I do remember after this one I just gave up and never read the fourth one.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738740015526095835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-52005367574743064022011-12-02T11:38:03.199-06:002011-12-02T11:38:03.199-06:00This is book #3, right?

I didn't like Bella, so I ended up not caring who she was with, which made the books seem veeeeeeeery long!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-21042370502337993862011-12-02T09:06:20.600-06:002011-12-02T09:06:20.600-06:00Yes the triangle is ridiculous and really does ass...Yes the triangle is ridiculous and really does assume that we can't just have male and female characters be friends. So frustrating. Also, clearly Bella and Edward were going to be together, it was so obvious, I agree. Jacob as friend would have been much better and MUCH less creepy (the whole I was in love with an essence of you or part of you that became the kid - WAIT WAIT WAIT IN THAT CASE HE SHOULDA BEEN ALL OVER EDWARD TOO!!!!

Annoyance for the whining and lack of any character development. I also share your irritation in general with love triangles. They are pretty cliche. I'd really like it if somebody came up with a new hook.Sandyhttp://sandynawrot.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
