So, here we go, Part Two of my review. This basically focuses on Book Three (:
( PART ONE)

BOOK THREE: The lamb and the lion go at it (in two different literal senses)
So let me start out by saying that Vampire Bella doesn't piss me off as much as much as Human Bella did. Why? No, not because Bella is less clumsy. I really can't say why...but maybe it' ( Read more... )

Since when has being beautiful saved someones life? Answer: On Grey's Anatomy.
hahaha. so. true.

there's this one part where she says she can live without everything else besides Renesmee
If my memory serves, she said she could live with being able to save her.. she referenced several times that with regards to her and Edward, if one dies, the other will too.

The ending, prior to the last few pages, was a disappointment. I wanted a fight. That said, those last few pages completely melted me.. so cute ♥

DUH, she didn't leave them. SHE'S SACRIFICING HERSELF JUST LIKE EDWARD WAS.

ALICE. I hated Bella for thinking that she and Jasper ran to save themselves. Way to take the only character I actually care about and make her absent for half the book, Stephenie. D: (Well, I actually also like Jasper and Carlisle and Esme and Emmett and Rosalie and Seth and Leah, but Jasper is gone too and the rest don't get very much attention anyhow.)

I think the ending was sort of... cheap. Bella didn't really have to sacrifice anything to become a vampire. She didn't have to deal with the bloodlust, she still gets to see her dad and Jacob. I don't know, with DH I felt like Harry earned his happy ending (this from somebody who hated that epilogue, but that kid had been through absolute hell and he lost a lot of people that were important to him, and fought Voldemort annually for seven years), whereas Bella... didn't. I wanted Cullen awesome, with all of them under one roof and Alice and Bella being bff, and Renesmee not existing and less focus on Edward ( ... )

You mean Fred? Tonks? [is also still bitter].
At first, Renesmee was this insignificant character, but I really love the kid now. She makes me smile (:
But Bella getting what she wanted yet again, AS ALWAYS, was STUPID. [shakes head]
Jasper is my favorite character. Yep, I love him (;

TONKS. D: Who got to spend the entire book pregnant with her husband being all emo (I shipped Tonks/Lupin but hated where book 7 took them), and then she DIES. And doesn't even get an actual death scene.

I don't really mind Renesmee as a character. I think she seems cute. I just... don't like the fact that she exists.

Oh, Jasper. ♥ I love the Cullens so much. We never get enough of them in the books, except for Edward, who is actually my least favorite of them all (though not my least favorite character). I pretty much just spend the books waiting for Alice to show up. :\

Vampire!Bella actually annoyed me even more because she was always pissed off and then SMeyer had to take pages and pages to describe how she acted and stuff so in the I probably tl;dr'd like half of the third book.

Like also, I think SM used the 8th color because she wanted to make everyone see how ~amazing~ the vampires were. I mean this is SMeyer, there WOULDN'T be an fact based element in any of this.

LIKE IDEK. I could not even even form my opinion of the ending because the whole book just made me want to gag. But sure, that last sentence would have nice if the whole book wasn't completely ridiculous.

um k, I feel bad about ragging on the book... lol idk, I guess people liked it?
