Breaking Dawn: Not Epic Win, Not Epic Fail; Just Right
The time has come to express everything Breaking Dawn related. So now I say...
MASSIVE SPOILERS BEHIND THE CUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have been warned...
Ok, so first I'll start with my very long day. I got to Borders at 9:30am and was #20 in line for the book. YAY!!! It was a long, boring and desparing day, but finally it was ( Read more... )
Anyways, I'm falling asleep and I'm not supposed to spaz about BD until my friend finishes (it's kind of our thing when it comes to Twilight now, we squeal about everything to eachother before anyone else, so pretend I was never here)...so just some random things:
I thought it was kind of weird that she'd name her daughted Renesmee, when she doesn't even like her name. At least Isabella is normal. Carlie would've been a less awkward first name.
And, I think another reason people didn't like it might be the fact that they think Edward and Bella are completely out of character (which always annoys me, it's SMeyer's book and her characters, however she writes them is in character), especially in the middle. But I think part of the reason they come across so differently is because we're seeing them from a completely different perspective. Of course they're going to seem different when we're seeing them from someone else's eyes. Jacob has a completely different mind than Bella does, he's going to make the situation out in a different way then we would've expected or how we think it should be.
And everyone hated Edward for a while :( Poor thing, I never hated him, I completely understood where he was coming from. He can't live without Bella, even if she's giving him a child. He thinks she's going to die, and not only that, he thinks she's dying for a monster. He probably assumes it will behave similarly to the immortal children, not like the cute little Nessie they got.
And he's just a little naive, like always. I think he thinks that Bella just wants a baby, and doesn't understand that it's not just any baby she wants, it's his baby, the baby she already has. Hence him trying to get Jake to talk to her. Plus he's going a bit crazy, isn't he? Bella's dying, right in front of him, and there's absolutely nothing he can do. And on top of that, it's over something he caused. That'd screw up anyone's head.
OH, also, I'm kind of glad she didn't have any really smutty scenes. I have no problem sticking to my fics for that. My mom listens to this on audiobooks, and it'd be beyond awkward if I we had to listen to that in the car.
