I agree with you on all points. Especially the name. Personally, I think it's unique and can grow on you. However, it was laid down in book one that Edward is old fashioned and that Bella was old at heart. Therefore, I would have expected them to name their child something more traditional.

Exactly. The name seemed a little too unique to go with their personalities. (Actually, between you and me, I thought Bella and Edward acted a bit differently than usual throughout the whole book, but maybe it's just me)

I agree with you. This book was totally what no one expected. In my opinion the book seemed a bit rushed for me, like since it was the last book the author decided to cram in everything. The name was terrible, i prefer the nickname Jacob gave her Nessie. I think what bothers me about the book that i can't say its awesome because everything was too perfect. Everything was too perfect compared to the other books. Anyhoo, im so excited for the official guide!!

It was too perfect. I wanted some things to be a little less like it. I can also see what you mean about rushed. It's like she wanted to put as much action and drama as she could into one book, and it also seemed like she tried to make everyone happy.

*sigh* Anyway, I can't wait to get the official guide! I want to read all about the "hidden secrets" that I don't know (^w^)

I definitely don't agree with you that the book was only alright. I mean, I didn't like the 3rd book at ALL. And thought that hey, it can't get any worse. I think because I had that attitude... I thought the book was the best yet.

Also, YES, people did expect the baby. My friend and I actually discussed the possibility of a baby between them before it even happened. Around chapter 2, we thought, "Wouldn't it be AMAZING if Bella could have a child?" We didn't think it possible but we never gave up hope. ^^

The name (I must admit) was annoying. You had to think before you said it. XD But I like the reason behind it AND the nickname. ^____^

But overall, the series had the best ending possible, in my opinion. Jacob fans can't complain, Edward fans can't complain. It's prefect. ((And I don't hate Bella or Jacob anymore - I at one point did.))

I can see your point of view. I did think of a baby, but then I thought it sounded too not twilight(if that makes sense).

The nickname was ok. It made the regular name seem less bad.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your opinion.

Ah, that is true. A baby is kind of "non-Twilight." It did seem out of place at first - and at times it was crazy. But once the imprinting happened, I didn't care much anymore. ^^;

Renesmee Carlie Cullen. ... I definitely like Nessie better.

And you're welcome!

*nods* same here. I just said "whatever" and went with it.

Nessie does sound better. Also, I guess the name could be worse ~ XD

I liked the Edward x Bella moments, but I thought the story, itself, was lacking. Pretty lame, actually.

I thought it was pretty stupid of SM to make Jacob imprint on her daughter (who has a hideous name, by the way). I never really liked Jacob, but it's charity work to make him imprint on the daughter. I thought it was an immensely dumb move.

I hate how cocky Bella gets when she becomes a vampire. You know, deflecting the Vulturi, and stuff. I don't know, it was just so, for a lack of better words, lame how Bella's power is this sheild to protect all of her loved ones. How predictable and very corny.

Well, whatever. I still love Edward, and Bella, too, when she's not being such a loser. At least, Edward and Bella are going to be together forever (it sounds so corny, but I'm happy with that).

The Jacob imprint was a bad idea to me, too. It seemed like that was just in there to make everyone happy that Jacob didn't get the short end of the stick.

Her power is corny *rolls eyes*
With all the build up I would think it would have been better.

The whole story was pretty corny, actually. Edward was ok, and I do like Bella (when shes not being annoying)

I'm glad someone thinks the same way as me(^w^)

Wow, I'm actually pretty relieved. I thought my reply would get me some negative feedbacks, you know, for saying that the book pretty much sucked.

I'm just a critical reader, that's all.

No negative feedbacks here.(^w^)

I'm pretty scared, too. I don't want to tell people I didn't really like the book, since I'm afraid they'll jump me >.>

Same here. I like specific types of books. The thing is, I liked the first 3 books, and was really disappointed this one didn't reach my standards =(

It just doesn't fit the image of Twilight :( The plot rushes by, there's no atmosphere at all und it's somewhat.. disappointing. At least that's what I think.

otaku_freak_16 August 5 2008, 17:05:55 UTC
Exactly. It just didn't feel Twilightish.

To me it felt like a really long fanfiction.

which book did you like best?
may I add you to my f-list? :)

otaku_freak_16 August 5 2008, 17:58:15 UTC
I liked New Moon the best. I loved reading about Bella and Jacob, and to me, Bella was the least annoying in this one.
What about you?

*Yea, you can add me (^w^)
