RE: New Moon

Am I reading the right book?



I'm only half-way through, but I want to wack Bella on the noggin. She is really making me feel...unhappy, in the way she's treating Jacob and the way she's floating through the chapters like a wet blanket.

Yes, okay, I understand why she's acting this way, and that she's aware of the way she's treating Jake - but that doesn't make me go "OH, OKAY, COOL" anymore than it did before. The crazed way she starts pushing herself off cliffs and endangering herself makes sense, in a way, but why doesn't anyone else around her (like Charlie or Jake) make the connection and stop her being so suicidal? It all seems a little drawn out and superfluous - and I would have liked to think Bella had the sensibility (even in face of losing her One True Love) not to act so damn reckless.

I'm feeling, three-hundred-odd pages in, like I am reading the wrong book, and that's not just because Bella has turned very sour, but another huge stinking reason:

I WANT MY FUCKING CULLENS, PEOPLE.

Carlisle, come back to me! I'm also wishing Esme was more rounded, instead of some secondary Mumsy character that seems to flit in and out while Carlisle runs the show.

Like I said, I'm only like, half way done; so no doubt my opinions will change. Vampires, come back!

Carlisle = Hugh Dancy, y/y?



That's what I'm thinkin', yo.* AND NO, I don't care he's in Blood and Chocolate, thanks, just give him a shave and a blond rinse and he's ready to head the Cullens.

* Until Zach Quinto's linked to the role, anyway, then I'm dropping Dancy like coals.
