Orson Scott Card on New Moon:

"And at the end, Bella actually shows some spunk. There is a memorable scene between her and werewolf boy in which she is needlessly vicious to someone who has done her nothing but good -- she wouldn't be Bella if she had a spark of human compassion or feeling for any person other than herself and her alpha-male Edward ( Read more... )

I've only seen the first movie, but wasn't she concerned about her Dad? Didn't she have friends?

They both definitely add to the list of things that are bad for america.

That character is the reason why I disliked the movie (never read the books). Are we supposed to want to BE her?

There's a difference between caring for someone and loving someone. Selfishness cares for someone only as far as how it relates to them.

books are definitely different from the movie, and Kristen Stuart is a HORRIBLE actress and didn't depict Bella the way she is in the book.

However, by her thinking and acting unselfishly, she hurts everyone around her because she really only does think of her and keeping Edward.

Jacob is a better choice ;)

and besides, IT"S JUST A FREAKING BOOK! there are lots better books out there. Even if i DO like the series.

I think Twilight is just the female version of porn (and after reading the last book, maybe it creeps close to practically porn porn..). Most of the characters are annoying but yet there is the strong romance/emotional connection that girls/women crave that drips off of every page. It reels them in, you just HAVE to be a part of that connection between Edward and Bella, the story is stupid but thats just trivial. She writes what you (women anyway) want to read. "(deep manly voice) Bella I must go fight in this battle to save you!" "Oh Edward! Don't leave me! I will DIE!!" "Ok ( ... )

To Emily: This is likely what I would feel reading the book. Every woman has an inner 13-year-old who wants to be Bella. Hatred of Bella is merely jealousy. Cuz, omg, she's got Edward (who's just as annoying as Bella, but less selfish ( ... )

Ok the Jacob thing. He is rewarded probably more than everyone in the book really. Its completely unfaiir etc etc, but to focus on that is to diminish what he has done. Despite her NOT deserving anything from him he remains completely loyal. Like a dog the owner beats em and beats him and he comes back.(edward is feline*mountain lion and jacob is a the wolf-dog ( ... )
