****SPOILERS****

this book was a bit of a rollercoaster for me. some parts of it i got annoyed with and parts of it i loved.

it's the third installment in the twilight saga, and the longest so far.

my likes-
the history! we finally get some real background into the characters! we lear why rosalie has issues with bella, jasper finally get a starring role and the history of the werewolves is explained in more detail.

the ending! ugh- it had me in tears, but i loved it! i am so torn between edward and jacob. i have been team edward without a doubt until the ending of this book, when jacob leaves and you get the chapter from his point of view. so heartwrenching!

my dislikes-
bella, shut up already! jacob, shut up already! charlie- get a personality!

i can not stand the charlie character in the books. hes so stupid. i get that hes raising a daughter on his own and doesnt want to know- but come on. give him some credit. and he is a total jerk to edward. i like him so much better in the movies.

bella- she's getting too whiny for me. i have to kind of tune her out in parts. i know shes a typical teenage girl, ..maybe she reminds me too much of myself when i was that age, lol.

jacob- he just gets too be too much of a jerk in so much of the book. stop forcing yourself on bella already. stop doing crappy things. be more like a hero and maybe shell want you. ugh!

with all of that said, im still in love with edward, hes way too good for bella (she should chose jacob- theyre a perfectly whiny couple) i cant wait to read breaking dawn.
