What was a mildly fun and slightly different vampire story ended with a saccharine slapped together ending where everyone gets what they want, except the Volturi, and maybe it would have been better if they did.
Bella Book 1: Like some futuristic version of Wide Sargasso Sea, which, given Meyer's liking of the Brontes, is probably not that far a stretch. Bella has her dream honeymoon and we have hunderds of pages of boring tripe.
Jacob Book 2: Mildly different, thankfully seeing this part of the story through Bella's eyes would have made me gouge mine out so Jacob is a great relief, and personally I like Jacob, but the imprinting, just ewwwwww. Also I feel sorry for Leah, she deserves better.
Bella Book 3: Why does Bella have such an interest in measurements all of a sudden? I mean one more 1/62nd of a second or 1/10th of a second and I would have screamed. And right about page 500 was when I almost gave up, didn't, almost did, and really if I had I wouldn't have missed much.
It's not like I had any expectations for this book, they were just fun reads, but this was just boring. The characters were all too good and everything was too wonderful, like this is some magical happy valley, it was just wrong. The first will always be the best to me, since then they have been going downhill, and this last book just fell off a cliff. Also I lost count at around 50 grammatical errors, that's just not acceptable, what are the editors doing these days?
