ok here goes, i was a bit disappointed with edward's absence for like...15 chapters (more or less whatever) BUT jacob totally made up for it. but every time she would hear edward in those junkie hallucinations of hers i was all AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW even though i realized he wasn't there at the point when laurent wanted to kill her because he would totally come out and save her then no matter the promise he made.

i totally felt for bella throughout that depression, the numbness, the pain, i felt it all!!! it was so good described and written!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and yeah i knew he didn't stop loving her either, but seriously, what would you think if your boyfriend came up to you and told you "oh i don't want you to come with me because you're wrong for me, although i'll always love you
in a way"???? "in a way" being the most important part here because it makes it sound like he doesn't love her the way he did and he just got over it. i would believe him too

Okay, here goes mine ;)

i was a bit disappointed with edward's absence for like...15 chapters (...) even though i realized he wasn't there at the point when laurent wanted to kill her because he would totally come out and save her then no matter the promise he made.
I love Jacob but as much as I felt happy for Bella finding some comfort I just couldn't take my mind of the fact that Edward wasn't there!! And when she's pondering whether to kiss Jacob and she hears Edward's voice saying "Be Happy"... THAT BROKE MY HEART!!
In the Laurent situation though, I was sure he would come out at one time or another, just like when she was drowning. I was sure later on he would explain how he saved her and made it so that it would look like Jacob had lol! I'm delusional I guess!

totally felt for bella throughout that depression, the numbness, the pain, i felt it all!!! it was so good described and written!!!!!!Yeah, omg that was scary and very disturbing!! Because that is EXACTLY the kind of reaction I would have. There is no doubt in my mind

well, in one of her q&a's on her tour people asked her something about jacob and how she feels about people not liking him and she said something about jacob and eclipse... here's the whole bit

Q: Why are there some people who don’t like Jacob Black?

A: She said that she doesn’t understand at all why there are some people who don’t like Jacob Black. Some people think that he has deep, dark, evil motivations, but he doesn’t. Jacob is a “truly good individual”. And then she said something that made us all sit up and listen: “We will see if people can still hate Jacob after Eclipse.” And then she shook her head and said, “We’ll see…”so you see why i think so, or something along those lines at least. but then again, if bella changes in eclipse then what will the fourth book be about? her adjusting to vampire life or something??? that would be kinda stupid

[loleia]

Oh Wow! Maybe he sacrifices himself to save her or something! Or maybe he saves Edward or something! Because the becoming a vampire thing... It's kind of a blessing in disguise isn't it? I mean she would be strong and inmortal, but what about her parents? And what about Jacob? Would he not hate her if she became a vampire? I think he would fight tooth and nail against his nature to hate her but it would be tough!
Also, it would be really hard for Bella not to eat, you know.. PEOPLE. lol! So the vampire thing should be interesting, I wouldn't mind the fourth book being about that ;)

OH OH AND ONE MORE THING ABOUT JACOB. he knew bella so well, yet he asked her not to go to italy and save edward even though he knew she loved him that much. it was so annoying. but i guess it had to do with his irrational behavior but still...I love that he knew her so well as to never say Edward's name, that really speaks in his favour. But I don't feel bad because he asked her to stay, of course he did! Love is selfish and he's in love with her!! He

i was thinking, since bella can't stand blood, it would be even worse when she's a vampire (with the senses and talents and secret gifts getting stronger) maybe she won't find it that hard to be around people at all.

and i guess i see your point with jacob but still, i was so annoyed with it.

[loleia]

Well that's definitely something to think about! Maybe that aversion to blood she has will become a good plotpoint later on if she does (or doesn't) become a vampire! Well thought!
