These books scream it. Nothing about them are normal, she has taken vampires and werewolves to a whole nother level. They say supernatural and magic alot in all the books, so just chalk it up to that. <BR/><BR/>Also I think the most dissapointing book by far was the 2nd one. If it didn't have that once of redeeming quality at the end I would have stopped reading the others. <BR/><BR/>All Bella did was whine and whoooaaa is me crap all through that book, give me a fucking break. That was saying more crap to girls than anything. OMG you can't be without a man you will just die. grrrrrr<BR/><BR/>so yeah there, I did it, opened those can of worms. hahahahaBurficahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207396583080371466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003859144103264718.post-61585472837530287702008-08-11T22:41:00.000-04:002008-08-11T22:41:00.000-04:00Naked Sodoku.Naked Sodoku.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003859144103264718.post-38030634804377583062008-08-11T20:30:00.000-04:002008-08-11T20:30:00.000-04:00yeah, what aff said!!!yeah, what aff said!!!the planet of janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11444337511603560544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003859144103264718.post-68730646622469556972008-08-11T19:24:00.000-04:002008-08-11T19:24:00.000-04:00Hi.

How the characters departed from the way they've acted in the other three books, how Edward was aloof & not "loving" of Bella, how Bella was just OFF, how Meyer broke the rules. But, I actually told Janet early this week that Edward could NOT have fathered Renesmee (stupidest name EVER) as he had no blood flow and therefore could NOT get a stiffy. There's just NO WAY for it to happen. I don't even understand how he was having sex without blood flow. The book was such a disappointment.Anglophile Football Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06802113205530180641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003859144103264718.post-35252480212629593192008-08-11T18:02:00.000-04:002008-08-11T18:02:00.000-04:00miss anne, i found the imprinting to be vile AND a...miss anne, i found the imprinting to be vile AND a cheap plot trick to make it all pretty...<BR/><BR/>and i read an interview with the author who said that she lived with "renesmee" for so long that it didn't seem odd to her. she can't be that stupid.the planet of janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11444337511603560544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003859144103264718.post-81259396750401576042008-08-11T18:01:00.000-04:002008-08-11T18:01:00.000-04:00I'm sorry, I am not familiar with this blog or wit...I'm sorry, I am not familiar with this blog or with this series of books. Blame it on Janet. She said catfight and I came running. However, I'm laughing hysterically at the "it follows logically" comment. This is a discussion about vampires, right?<BR/><BR/>Miss Anne, might I suggest reading something non-vampirish for your hobby? Steinbeck is my favorite, but I know he's not everyone's cuppa. The point is, find something good for which you can have arguments that the plot elements do or do not "logically follow", you know, logically;o) (I know you didn't say it.) How about digital photography? It's a good hobby for those of us who are a)not quite artistically gifted, b)can find and appreciate beauty but not reproduce it, c)have serious ADD and need instant results.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483309441288822407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003859144103264718.post-61622995416035761912008-08-11T17:28:00.000-04:002008-08-11T17:28:00.000-04:00Adam, I have to agree with Janet, although I was u...Adam, I have to agree with Janet, although I was upset with the imprinting for a different reason. To me, it felt like she did it JUST to tie everything up in a pretty bow. Lots of people wanted Jacob to win Bella's heart. She had to do something for Jacob. Giving him the baby was just a quick copout. And who in their right fucking minds would name their child renesmee? and yes, she HAD already addressed the newborn vampire thing. I don't care how SPECIAL bella is. It just was UNBELIEVABLE, even for the genre, which is SUPPOSED to be unbelievable.....melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269581985852005546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003859144103264718.post-26685042460333622542008-08-11T17:06:00.000-04:002008-08-11T17:06:00.000-04:00while i'm so with you on the scrapbooking thing......while i'm so with you on the scrapbooking thing...shudder...<BR/>i adore crocheting. it's my hobby of choice...until i get bored and move on to finding a new hobby of choice...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003859144103264718.post-61769290924220061342008-08-11T16:58:00.000-04:002008-08-11T16:58:00.000-04:00alice had jasper too, but that didn't stop the blo...alice had jasper too, but that didn't stop the blood lust.<BR/><BR/>also... harry potter actually had to make sacrifices along the way. people died. bad things happened. it was tied up in a pretty package at the end, but not until after he had suffered and, as a result, grown up.<BR/><BR/>i found the imprinting to be a cheap plot trick that was vile, to boot. i dont care about the 4 year old. it's gross.

Fine, Im willing to overlook that small thing, because obviously Bella and Edward were going to have sex. HOWEVER, there must be SOMETHING keeping that sperm ALIVE, and what could that be? They don't breathe. They do not have a hearbeat. Their bodies are like stone. They never have to use the bathroom, sleep or even sit down. They don't blink!
