Okay... I'm going to say something here... and before you all freak out on me... let me clarify. I think the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer are really, really good books. I think she is an amazing author and paints an amazing picture in her reader's head. I am definetly a fan of her writing... However there are a few things that I don't feel like I can just jump on the bandwagon like everyone else about.
I am not an Edward fan... (in the way everyone other female in this world seems to be.) I'm not saying that it's somewhat endearing how much he seems to "care" for Bella. But if you ask me, he acts more obsessed with her than actually in love. Plus, I find him rather boring and predictable. I realize he's "exciting" because he's a vampire, but perfection is just mind-numbingly boring. (Just my opinion) Remember to breathe during this okay? (There's a lot more of this kind of stuff, so if you are one of those die-hards out there, I suggest you quit reading now.)
...nor am I a Jacob fan. I think that he really does love her, but his tactics are nothing short of arrogant and immature. I do like the fact that he treats her more like someone he's interested in (no matter how juvenile his actions/thoughts are) rather than someone he simply worries about all the time, like a father figure. (much like Edward does) Once again... just my opinion. Remember to breathe.
For that matter... I'm not even a Bella fan. The girl flipping drives me up a wall. I do find her little quirks and clumsiness endearing qualities, but truth be known I wish someone would just finish her off already. Seriously. I can't believe that SHE was willing to let Edward's entire family and Jacob and his pack fight to keep HER alive while SHE made Edward stand back and watch as well because SHE couldn't stand losing him. She is completely selfish and she needs to get some guts already. Come on girl!!!!I do sympathize with her in that she does love both Edward and Jacob and it does truely suck on her part to have to hurt Jacob. The whole love-triangle is amusing, but those of you in my family know my issues with that whole thing. Augh!!!
Okay... now that I've sounded off. I'll say this... I have not read Breaking Dawn yet. (Amazon and I are not agreeing on some things!) It is very possible that some if not all of these things could get cleared up during the final book and I could become another crazed Edward or Jacob fan like the rest of the world, but until then.... that's where I stand. Once again... remember to breathe!!! It's only one person's opinion.

Love it. Totally agree. You and I get it and the rest of the world is crazy. I couldn't have put it better myself.....but I still can't wait to read Breaking Dawn.
PS. What would you possibly know about love triangles?? Just kidding. haha.
Ok, I have not read the books but I have seen the damage it has done to women throughout the world. They become lust filled emotional wrecks that thirst for the imaginary Edwards out there and soon the cruel fate of reality crashed down upon them and leaves them empty and bitter...
...not to mention what it did to Hollie...I didn't see her for 3 days...!
Word of warning to you Sam and Heather, watch out...there are some very loyal fans of that book out there and they would be very quick to sacrifice you to their vampire gods in a heartbeat.

First of all...I would also like to know how you know about love triangles?? Well said Sam. Totally agree. Except I don't hate Bella...I don't think I've even thought about her enough to know if I like or hate her. I'm always just trying to figure Edward and Jacob out. BUT..seriously people...how can you love Edward? I don't hate him, but c'mon, how can cuddling, kissing, or...you-know-what-ing with a STONE COLD HARD AS ROCK PIECE OF ICE be fun?! At all?? I don't know about Jacob either...it's just weird. But I do like the books, really I do, I will read BD, just as soon as I'm done with The Host (which I like better so far...okay I'm done before I tick someone off...)
Sam, Sam, Sam . . . there's so much to explain and so little space. I think we're going to have to have a Twilight chat the next time that we're in Kanab. ;)
I love Edward. That's all I'm saying.
HOLLY CRAP you all suck! I'll take the warewolf anyday!!!!! I guess that explains my track record with bad boys. Have you checked out the trailers for the movie. Jacob is BEAUTIFUL! Edward is a whimpy runt who should have just sleep with the girl!!!!(I know you all agree)
