I suppose it is.
And now that I think of it...S.M did spend alot of time on Edward and Jacob. Jasper, though, I'm not so sure. I actually think that she worked at Bella's character subtly; never giving an infodump, just little bits of history and facts at random intervals. For some people that could be hard to notice. but...I noticed...
I agree with you on her being an ordinary girl, though. That's what I hate about her. She's so dull.
Sometimes I wish she would just summon up the courage and smack one of them or something, or just do something more outgoing than her usual, ordinary activities. Also, I hate the part in Eclipse where she seduces Edward- a bit of me wanted him to go along with it (but I didn't want to read that!) but most of me was just like: What the hell?! What's wrong with you Bella?!

Oh and I just remembered, sometime in October Stephenie Meyer is coming out with a new book called Breaking Dawn, what happens after Eclipse.

Is it not?

ha. trust me, it's not all it's cracked up to be. 'cause then you get to be like Bella and choose between two amazingly wonderful guys.

But Bella always knew who she was going to choose, I mean she wanted Jacob but she wasn't about to leave Edward.

good point. I guess I know what that's like too.

I should sue SM for plaigerism. She totally copied my life. except for the werewolf/vampire thing of course.

I think that would only work if you knew on a personal level hun.

lol i know i was kidding. about the plaigerism thing at least.

I think that Bella should be with Jacob AND Edward. although Jacob is my favorite.

I like you ^ We are going to be great friends.

Kinda like "Paint your Wagon"? if she had both it would probably be something like that, except they'd be attacking each other all the time.

I'll be honest - I have no idea what you're talking about.

Personally, I thought these books were wonderfull. Although, my mother is more obsessed with them than I am... ^^ Stephenie Meyer must have done her homework, since the 'vampire myth' in these books were similar to some other versions of the myth that I've found. And, of course, she has added soem creativity to the myth -for instance, I found it very clever to make the vampires sparkle in sunlight

I found these books very well written, yet easy to read (Which is why I recommended them to my friend since she doesn't do well with a lot of big words) Although, I kept getting the chills at almost every page since Bella could very well be my twin sister. The similarities are a bit scary -like, we're both shy, kind of quiet, don't like to get into trouble, and don't have that many extremely close friends. And, I believe there was some part in the books (#1, or 2, maybe) when she's daydreaming about what it would've been like if she -had- stayed at the airport and met with Edward again. I do that all the time. And there's how her mom wanted her to move to Jacksonville, FL, and her mom's like "It's always sunny, and the humidity not -that- bad." My mom said the same exact thing when we moved there. The humidity really -is- that bad, believe me. Oh, yah, and we're both sort of boring and well, dull. ^^

But, they were awsome books, and I'm really glad I read them.

I didn't read your spoilers but I have only read the first one.
Its a really good book! Its kinda cliched but I still really like it. Not much description mostly dialogue and thoughts.
Nice book

I agree with Gwen that there wasn't much description.
Yes, this was quite a good book, but the lack of figurative speech was [for me] a major drawback. She could have made it spectacular with a little more description, but it's really a matter of personal preference. I love description, and I know that some people...don't.

"Cold and Broken": The point of Bella is that she could be any of us. She's the kind of person who would read this kind of book.

I liked Twilight. There wasn't any mo'f'in plot, but still. As for New Moon... I HATED the werewolves thing. There are vampires. OK. There are supposed to be vampires. There were always supposed to be vampires, and you can tell. There weren't always supposed to be werewolves, and it's painfully obvious. The thing about vampires is, that while they are fantastic (in the fantasy sense), they didn't come out of left field. Purist that I am, I of course didn't read the back of the book before I read it, but what was going on was pretty obvious. The only foreshadowing for the werewolves was completely accidental. They just didn't belong.

And Eclipse. There really wasn't any plot for this, at all, though it did lead to the fascinating contradiction where it was a page-turner but for parts of it I was bored out of my mind. And as for the whole storytelling thing with the spirit chiefs... yeah. I got somebody to summarize it. I couldn't make myself read it.

Don't get me wrong, though, I love the series (and Stephenie Meyer. She's awesome.); I just have some built up resentment against it. Little bit.
