I love love loved Twilight. I couldn't put it down. Everytime that my daughter would sleep, I was itching to read more. Then, I started New Moon, and I found myself speed reading throughout the middle to get to the part that Edward finally returned. I have this image of Edward in my head, and I know that once I watch the movie that image will be shattered. I started Eclipse, and I am pretty excited so far.

Must be a big set-up for Eclipse? Seems like everyone finds Bella utterly unbearable! :)<br /><br />*Bellezza - Yay for Edward!! I remember you telling me that I would probably like Twilight, and I did. I still have hope for the others. Did you finish the series?<br /><br />*Stephanie - Yes, I think that some of the messages Meyer sends in these books are incredibly questionable. But I don't read a lot of YA fiction, so I'm not sure these types of actions are usually talked about. I was so sheltered as a teen!! :)<br /><br />*Karen Beth - Can you believe that I've never read Dracula? I NEED to soon. Man I miss school!<br /><br />*Michelle - You should totally read these--they would make a great break between all of those yicky classics. :)<br /><br />*Anna - I saw a write up on Robert Pattinson in GQ the other day (was actually with the friend who was badgering me into reading these), and I have to admit he looked pretty dang hot. But that hair. Ick! :) Glad to hear that this one is the weak point and there are better things to look forward to.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-13939352979324861722009-04-23T10:14:00.000-05:002009-04-23T10:14:00.000-05:00Overall I enjoyed this series, but this one wasn't...Overall I enjoyed this series, but this one wasn't the best because Edward was gone.

And I've mentioned in both my reviews that I think Meyers is walking a dangerous line by throwing out this horrible obsessive love thing to teens. "I'd rather die than be without you". Yeah...not what I want my teens reading and trying to emmulate...but again, that's probably a discussion best left for another day. <br /><br />I didn't really get into the whole Jacob thing.

I was surprised to like Twilight, and surprised again to be disappointed with New Moon. To me, they got "worse" as I went...but, I may be alone in that opinion. I like Edward better, as well. Any one that courageous, that full of moral character has got my vote. Great self interview, Trish!

I didn't pick it up with the first one, but this one was pretty obvious (plus it mentioned R&J a million times). I don't know if the vampires are hot, or if they just make me hot...um, that's enough for this comment! :P Sheesh--the things this series makes me say<br /><br />*Melody - Oh no! Well, that doesn't give me much hope. :P <br /><br />*Elise - I have every intention of continuing on with the series, just not in a big hurry.
