I haven’t seen the movies yet. There’s a reason for that. I’d really like to see them but I made a promise. Sigh. It looks like it could be quite a while before I see them. Whatever.
I did read the books. The first was the best. The second was good but it didn’t really get around to anything but it introduced a lot. Nothing happened in the third and the fourth was good but it was quite a tidy ending. I was looking forward to some wrench to be thrown in but it was a fairy tale ending. I suppose it is a fairy tale so it fits. I’m not disappointed. I read all of them in a matter of a few days. It would have been less but I’m on vacation and just left it to early morning when I wake up so fucking early that I’ve got nothing to do and at night as well.
Sadly, I can relate to Edward. The pain, the confusion, the love. He’s a romantic and old fashioned. That’s how I feel many times over. Ms. Sexy X likes it and compared me to him. I don’t mind. I see her as my Bella of sorts as well… super stubborn. Don’t you know it drives me crazy but I LOVE it?
I like the idea of good vampires and all but the story was just a tad too neat. Plus the werewolf/shapeshifters storyline was good but then it also fell too neatly into place at the end. If you like fairy tale endings this is one for you.
The only thing that bugged me was the fact that their coven had super powers throughout most all of them. I can see the Volturi’s since they sort of handpick vampires but the Cullen clan was supposed to be random. Yet the Volturi were seriously outnumbered in that prospect. It also sucks that they didn’t battle.
The other thing that got to me was Bella and her powers. Of course she has powers and of course it’s a mind thing. Why does this remind me of the Vampire Chronicles anyone? She seems like a Sookie Stackhouse ripoff if you ask me. The sex was better in those books too. I suppose it’s a different readership but still.
