I bought Rob an iPhone for his belated birthday present and now I am SO. JEALOUS. I want one too (whine, whine). Sadly AT&T won’t let me get one until November (stupid contract).
Anyway, I finished New Moon over the weekend and I liked it about the same as Twilight.
Emma hit the nail on the head in her comment to my previous entry — it’s been so hard to get through this series because the writing isn’t so great. 🙁 This was definitely more noticeable in New Moon.
But I did understand Bella more in this second installment. Which is an improvement. Unfortunately, I still don’t really like her. I found her to be reckless and selfish. And it completely bothers me that she’s so nonchalant about becoming a vampire. Cause I don’t feel like she’s taking it seriously or that she’s really weighed the pros and cons. Interestingly, I liked Edward much more in this book — maybe because compared to Bella, he was like the voice of reason. I also really liked learning more about Jacob (he might just be my favorite character) though I still don’t understand why the vampires and the werewolves are enemies. Did I miss something?
I’ve gotten this far so I want to read the rest of the series… but I’ll have to find a generous friend to loan Eclipse and Breaking Dawn to me. Only the hardcovers are available and I’m CHEAP. Anyone? 😛
I wanted to read Twilight, but have been put off because there are so many books in the series so far…and I’ve heard that the writing is horrible.
That’s so nice of you to get the iPhone for him!
I’d loan you mine if I actually bought them but i won’t waste money on Meyer unfortunately.
I love Jacob btw. And I think the vampires and werewolves are enemies because of a legend that is mentioned in New Moon but i can’t remember the specifics of it.
I always understood it that werewolves and vamps were enemies because the werewolves were said to be the protectors of that region. Though in many other books and movies they are enemies (i.e. Underworld where the wolves were at first the protectors of the vamps during daylight hours and then became their slaves).
Kel, I bought Eclipse and Breaking Dawn on Amazon….I think both were around $10 a piece, which I could spare. 🙂
