The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: The Story of Bella v. 2

[m_pendulum]

You are a newborn vampire. You have unparalleled strength and agility. There is no creature in the world that can stand up to you. How would you spend your nights? Debating about whose cooler Spider Man or The Incredible Hulk? Sounds silly to you? Well thats how newborns spend their free time in The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie

I can't really judge the book clearly, because instead of seeing it as a book on it's own, I just judge it in comparison to Twilight - Bree wasn't as whiney as Bella and I actually liked Fred and Diego, so this book bothered me less... but at the same time, another annoying quality she had in common with Bella was that Stephenie tries to make it appear as if she's intelligent but doesn't do a good job of showing it and that drove me nuts (she fails at the whole show vs. tell thing). Diego's actions were understandable, because he trusted Riley and felt a sense of loyalty to him but Bree didn't have that excuse for being such an idiot.

On another note, is it just me, or was Bella ridiculously annoying in this book too, even though she wasn't in it much? She seemed like such a pathetic little Mary Sue at the end.

I actually also like Fred and Diego (even though I made fun of him.) Diego trusted Riley because they were in luv. I just don't think the romance did anything to develop Diego's character and Fred is the Alice of this series.

Bella spreads sue-doom wherever she flies >.

Victoria should have killed all the Cullens and Bella. Fucking hell why did the only decent 'vampire' have to die?

I'm actually surprised there was a death of a main protagonist in a Stephenie Meyer novel. She was too much of a wuss for a fight scene in Breaking dawn but not for a gory death...

But anyway, I hope this ends the Twilight series once and for all. Come on Meyer... Honestly, what was the point in writing this book? She even admitted to writing it just for fun. Just for fun, no particular reason other than that.

I'm pretty sure the only reason Bree died is because there was absolutely no way out of it. Besides the death scene was non-existent since it was in first person. She just closed her eyes...the end.

Actually I was referring to Diego. I mean, I knew Bree dies which is great, but I didn't expect Diego's death too, especially not such a violent one. On the other hand, his violent death turned me to Team Victoria, so it's all good. But I didn't expect Stephenie Meyer, who was too much of a wuss to watch Interview with the vampire, to write such a gory death scene. Surprise surprise.

Oh yes, if she had put that kinda effort the whole series BD might have been an epic win...maybe

What annoys me is that Meyer had almost constantly talked about how Newborns're all feral and incapable of loving, like Bella wouldn't've been able to be with Edward for a year, and yet Bree is able to love Diego only three months in. WTF? Is Meyer incapable of writing a book without romance in it? Honestly.

They're not books! XD

[theannoyings]

Oh yeah, I forgot that. XD

oh wow

Is that what the book was about? I thought it was about some important character we don't see. So it's about the random lil vampire girl that died in one page of the whole book......I don't see how they had enough time to build a romance.

I mean you would think romance was the least of their problems. Does it mention them being blood thirsty vamps at all? Gosh why does Smeyer always change her own rules.

Riley I have to admit is now awsome. After I saw the Esclipse movie I thought he was the only cool character in it.
