Soooo much to talk about!!!
But first...
SPOILER WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, a few of my Breaking Dawn predictions came true, but I was still completely surprised by a LOT of things. Like, you know, Edward actually producing sperm. I'm still trying to figure that one out. I'm thinking it has to do with sperm not actually being a bodily fluid. I'll have to find out from Stephenie, of course, because it really confused me when Bella got preggers.
But anyways, I LOVED the beginning! Edward and Bella's wedding was amazing--until Jacob showed up, of course--and even Rosalie was helping Bella get ready. It was very well done. Like, there was detail, but not too much because, from Bella's point of view, all the emotions were creating a haze around her.
Now, the honeymoon....It's hard to describe how I feel about it. I'm still confused, of course. But more than that, I'm a little pissed. There was not ONE detail. It was always, "And pulled us gently into deeper water..." and shit like that.
We know they had sex, Stephenie, now channel Nora Roberts and GIVE IT SOME DETAIL.
Ahem. So, yeah, some of my favorite quotes came from the times right after they had sex. Like the, "I bit a pillow. Or two." I laughed hysterically at that one. It's so not Edward. And my other favorite was when they were commenting on her shredded lingerie. XD It was great.
And then came the random pregnancy. WTF. I thought Bella was going to die, and then Edward would die, and then Jacob would find out and try to kill the Cullens and start a huge war over it. It freaked me out. But when Jacob decided to become the Alpha, I knew the prospect of a werewolf vs. vampire war was out. Damn it.
Jacob's point of view was...interesting. I really enjoyed his way of thinking compared to Bella's. Jacob's so sarcastic and filled with blond jokes. It was funny when he wasn't stressing over the 'monster' destroying Bella.
I actually read through all that again last night and I didn't know how I'd missed the obvious. He called Bella a drug and that it was more like he was addicted to the center of her. And when Renesmee was born, he had that feeling like he had to leave the room because the pull to be with her had shifted. I SHOULD have caught that. Then maybe the end of Jacob's POV wouldn't have surprised and disgusted me so much. I mean, now I can't make fun of Quil. His soul mate might be only two years old, but at least she's fully human. God, Jacob, couldn't you have imprinted on the girl in the park at least?
Oh well. The Aston Martin was in the book, so I can't really complain about Jacob's choice of soul mate.
So, I kinda ruined the end of book 2 for myself. Jacob thought Bella was dead, but I'd already looked ahead and seen that book 3 was from Bella's point of view. So I knew she lived.
Damn me and my curiosity.
But book 3 was probably one of the best. Bella finally became a vampire! And Emmett's sex jokes were possibly the funniest thing I've ever read. Oh, Emmett. You gotta love that kid.
And Jasper! Holy crap! When Charlie was coming to visit and Bella and Jasper kept going back and forth, I just started cracking up!
'We'd have all night...
"Bella."
"Sorry Jasper."'
Omg. Perfect.
None of the other Twilight books made me cry. Well, okay, I might have cried a little when Edward left in New Moon. But that was more pity for myself than for Bella. But in Breaking Dawn, I really cried. Only once. It was during the scene in the clearing with the Volturi. Everyone was saying goodbye.
It hit kinda close to home. In exactly one week, I'll have to do the same thing. Say goodbye to everyone I know and love on the west coast. In the book, it was a permanent goodbye, I know, but it still impacted me. Seriously. I was sobbing. It started right when she told Renesmee she loved her and explained to Jacob what they had to do if a fight broke out. It just seemed so real to me--that feeling of never seeing someone you love ever again. And I could imagine it from Bella's point of view, too. She was giving up her child. 'More than my own life.'
So sad.
But at least it had a happy ending. I mean, really. Only the best books end with implied sex. Note the word 'IMPLIED.' >:|
I believe my exact words, when she glossed over the sex every time, were, "Fuckin' Stephenie fuckin' Meyer! Fuckin' fuck fuck!"
Ask Reesa. I said it every time. That's how she knew Edward and Bella were going to get it on again. Because I would have a hissy fit every time. :P
We didn't even get detail on how Edward looked naked. Jeez! All we got was that he was gorgeous naked! And that he's a horny bastard! Gahhhhhhhhhhh!!!
I'm done now. I guess I'll have to total my score...see what I was right or wrong about when I was making predictions. =/ It's so sad that it's over...but I still have many things to figure out, I guess. That'll take some time.
