The Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer

lol! I think the issue is when Edward gets mad he gets sexy. XD That or he gets scary. Bella has no power against him at such points, so she'd be more likely to sit there and swoon rather than yell back at him. She argues with Jacob, however. =P

lol, i think guys in general are sexy when they're angry. well, when they're angry for a good reason, like when Edward was protecting Bella.

It's fun to watch guys get angry because they either look attractive, or incredibly stupid. Unfortunately I've seen more of the latter. Really fellows, your crunched up glaring eyebrows and puffed out chest don't initmidate me. Rather, they make me laugh.
My apologies to the opposite gender out there, I feel mean now. XD

What does everyone think of Jasper's story after reading Eclipse? Do you think it helps to explain his character?

No, actually...I thought it was a little random. It made me like him more, though. It explains why he's kind of quiet and serious all the time. I don't know. If felt a little bit tacked-on, I guess... Good grief, I'm entirely too critical of Stephenie Meyer. One day God's going to get back at me and I'm going to have a fan/critic just like myself who criticizes my books even while she's hugging them.

lyrical_sunshine, if anyone's too critical of Stephenie Meyer, it's me; don't worry about it XD

I thought it was a big block away from the rest of the plot, which she often does, and I don't know if I liked that aspect of it. On one hand, I think it explains why Jasper's the most bloodthirsty out of all of them, but on the other hand, I wonder if his experiences in the military wouldn't have conditioned him against blood, that maybe he should be able to adapt more easily to his new life with the Cullens?

*gasp*

o.O You know I forgot completely about Jasper's story until I saw the word 'military', then I was all 'OOOOOHHHH'. =P

Hmms. It was an interesting story, but let's face it: deep down, people read these books because they love either Bella (>_>), Edward (^_^) or Jacob (=P). So as much as the story adds to our understanding of his character, it's not something that stuck strongly in my mind since it wasn't tied to anything else in the story. or was it? I can't remember. If it had been tied in like Alice's story was--right into the plot--then I might have remembered it better. >.<

*again must resist temptation to read the books over*

Give in to temptation!! Read again! I am ^.~ I'm halfway through Twilight and this is my.....well I lost count after ten or so =P, time reading it.

Bella (>_>), Edward (^_^) or Jacob (=P)

Haha, I love your smiley classifications! But yes, you're right, it's a book for the romantics XD

Jasper's back story was...interesting. It helped me understand and picture him better, but like I said, Eclipse seemed very forced. Perhaps it will have a larger significance in the next book. I would love to read a book on Alice and Jasper's love story. I think it's hilarious how they got together.
Alice: I've been waiting for you! >=O
Jasper: Sorry. ._.

I don't know why, but I just really don't like Jacob. I'm glad that they didn't end up together, he just caused way too many problems. He was really annoying too, I like Edward sooooo much better!

Guess what!! They totally casted the Twilight movie wrong, cuz I just met the REAL Alice Cullen this weekend, lol.

Okay, not really. But I went to an honor choir with this petite, dark girl with really short black hair. It was awesome. I asked her if she'd read the series and I was like, "You totally remind me of Alice Cullen," and she was all, "Oh wow, that's the coolest compliment I've ever been given. I'm a vampire!" lol.


Anyway, that's my Twilight story of the day.

I hated the cast, too, they look so wrong. Esme looks pregnant, Alice just looks weird, Rosalie looks too nice, and Jasper had weird hair.

Carlisle was okay...the only good one out of the bunch (Edward is well...okay, too I guess....

But yeah, I'm a nit-picky person.

they're doing a movie???? How did you see the cast?????

Go to her website! ^_^ She has a picture of the cast there.
