i am very disappointed.
extremely. about 200 pages into breaking dawn i wanted to scream.
so i went into the book thinking that maybe the characters wouldn't seem to stupid in this one. that maybe edward would grow a personality. that maybe bella would realize she was throwing away her life, and everything her parents wanted for her, and hurting her parents and would maybe wise up and tell edward to beat it.
but, of course, it did not go like that.
this is where the spoilers start. i found it pretty stupid that they honeymooned on a island, especially one named after esme. 50 pages in and i already smelled a bad fanfic. but it wasn't a fanfic, this was the real breaking dawn. crap.
then the laughing started. (ok, the laughing started on the first page of chapter 2, where i started at borders with laura while waiting for carrie to get her book, and laura and i started laughing like maniacs to a hilarious scene. we were crying laughing. people were looking.) pregnant? really? so those things i had passed off as fake spoilers, because i found them too stupidly ridiculous to be true, actually were real. wow. and then it just ended.
jacob's pov?! i don't WANT jacob's pov! the twilight series centers around bella, not a sexual predator giant dog. (jacob bashing is almost as fun as edward bashing) and it went on like that forever. that's when i got really mad. had i seriously waited months and months for this? i hated the first half of the book. it was stupid. a baby thriving off of bella, slowly killing her? bella sipping down blood? not wanting people to help her? wow. just wow. it was beginning to really sound like a horrible fanfic and one of those dvds they sell at the walmart checkout line for a dollar. i was really mad. i hadn't braved the fangirls for this (even though i had a fantastic time at the release- more below :)) and edward seriously just plunged a needle into bella's hard to turn her into a vampire? now it's just an uncreative fanfic.
although i was actually happy to see him imprint on nessie. (though i prefer her middle name- carlie. much better.) that part, at least was good, although i was expecting him to imprint on leah.
then, finally, bella's pov. and it was no better. i was interested in her new senses, but i felt that she acclimated too quickly. everything felt too choppy and too quick, like she was rushing. and bella is stupid. i felt kinda bad for jasper, though. but seeing and tasting dust? come on.
and the entire thing with the volturi was unneeded. it was stupid filler and was just a bunch of people standing around arguing.
everytime i think about it i just get so mad. i went to the release party. i got home at 1:30 and stayed up reading it until 7:30 in the morning (which was actually a long time, but it took me a while to get through a lot of the parts. specifically the stupid ones. which were 85% of it.) i went running at 8 and now it's 11 at night. and yesterday i got up at 7, so i've been 40 hours with no sleep.
SPOILERS ENDED
ok, now to the fun part!
the release party was AWESOME.
we made signs insulting edward and jacob (which were vandalized by unintelligent "huh?"s and "but edward's hawt"s really? he's pretty? well that changes everything. who cares if he's a blood sucking vapid stalker if he's cute.) and hid behind displays to see people's responses.
this is laura's very well written letter (that was vandalized by people who cannot read or think for themselves)
they was a huge amount of screaming at midnight, and we screamed along, partly because screaming is fun, and also because we were making fun of people. they did not realize we were making fun of them. then it was our turn to be fangirly when laura and i got ours and went to a corner to read while carrie stood in line for her book. but there were these girls a few feet from us flipping open to random pages and reading out loud. people were giving them horrible looks and we kept asking them to stop and were plugging our ears and they just looked at us. stupid people annoy me. a lot.
