You know... your commentary kind of makes me want to expose myself to the audiobook when I have to drive back down to AR. It /is/ a ten hour trip... I know a horrible book would keep me occupied.

I recommend it for long journeys. Although, there's a lot of arguing and discussion in this book. Enough that I tend to zone out. But then something offensive happens and I'm back to wide awake and pissed!

Mara, this post is hilarious! Your commentary is brilliant! Please do more posts like this in the future!

I got Breaking Dawn from the library several months ago. I haven't read any of the other Twilight books, so didn't really know what was going on. But, still. What? (I never got past their honeymoon, and returned the book as soon as I could!) The ripped pillows? The feathers? Bella wondering what she was covered in, before finally realizing they were feathers?

Can't remember much more (and maybe I'm even misremembering the above). Saw the trailer for the movie when I went to see the newest Harry Potter, and could not help noticing how there didn't really seem to be a plot.

Oh, rest assured that there is no plot. I'm in part three of BD, just as Bella is waking up from being vampirized and discovering that for her there will be no newfangled vampire downsides. She's awesome! Previously, Jacob spent part two complaining and acting surly and having lots of random discussions while the monster baby slowly killed Bella and Edward spent all his time clinging to Bella's leg and nuzzling her knee. I got so bored I started skipping through the audiobook!

My first attempt at this book, I got to right about the pillow biting and I shut the book, convinced that nothing good could come of this. You were not misremembering anything, unfortunately.

Another update is imminent!
