I read the first two in the saga and am starting the third. Also have seen the movie. I agree with you 100% when it comes to Bella. She was likable in the book, but on the screen she was entirely one dimensional, stiff and basically boring. There was no reason for Edward to fall in love with her, other than the fact that she smelled so delicious. LOL.
Robert Pattinson was perfect as Edward. Those who are criticizing the books need to remember that it is fiction, it is fantasy. It may not be for everyone, but I've enjoyed the books so far. One of the criticisms I heard was that the author didn't set a good example because Edward was a "stalker". Well, good grief, he's a VAMPIRE! What a surprise that stalking might actually be a part of a fictional vampire's pathological makeup! Who would have thought? ;-)
I am afraid, like you, I am not going to want this saga to end. Guess I will just need to read slower.
THANK YOU!!! You are the first person (aside from myself) that actually acknowledges the fact that it is fiction/fantasy and that it’s not real.
Most people read to far into it, pulling apart the spaces inbetween the lines. People these days take things to seriously, too literally.
They just need to calm down and realize it’s not the end of the world.
Glad that you agree with me! At least someone does! :-)
