Be wary of potential spoilers in the comments. :)

Ooh, ooh, getting it today! (cos Australia is a bit behind the times!) I'll be back with commentyness! (as opposed to blatant spam such as this.)

Whee! Finished! So very enjoyable... the cheesiness is seriously addictive. Crikey,it was long though!

The only thing that disappointed me was that Bella adjusted so well to the becoming-a-vampire thing... I'm a sucker for angst. Guess I'll have to read OotP again.

(Renesmee is a DUMB name.)

YAY!! OMG it's SO addictive it's sad. Wasn't it long?! I almost felt at times that she wanted it longer because some stuff felt crammed in there. :O

See, I liked that Bella adjusted so well (and LMAO about our OotP comment!!!!). I've always felt that she was destined to be a vampire (for so, so many reasons) and so to me it was completely natural for her to take to it so well and so immediate. Actually my favorite part of the book was when she was learning to become a vampire!

Renesmee is a lame-ass name, though I'm no fan of 'Bella' either (Meyer needs a lesson on less MarySue-ish names ( ... )

Mm, she did rather avoid the sex, didn't she? (Though I lol-ed at the pillow-shredding bit.)

I really like Jacob narrating; I like seeing the vampires through eyes not as biased as Bella's (or rather, biased in the opposite direction). And I love how Seth and Ed became lil friends... aww. :-)

To be honest, the damn kid and her stupid name annoyed the crap out of me! It was so, so fanficcy... but I guess she served a purpose; poor Jake needed *someone* to imprint on, and the gory Rosemary's-baby style birth ended up being a catalyst for Bella being vampirised, so I guess I can live with it.:-)

(But Renesmee, honestly. All I could think of every time I read it was Smee, that little pirate fella from Peter Pan.)
