Writing Stephenie Meyer

[Lady Aura]

[CENTER][FONT="Palatino Linotype"]Okay, so I just got her new book [B]Breaking Dawn[/B] today. I'm a hard-core Twilight series fan, and my dad is taking me to see the movie the day it comes out as a birthday present (it releases two days after my birthday).

Anyway, I love the book so far. After getting lost in Barnes & Noble for almost an hour (the one where I live is HUGE), getting the book was worth it.

I'm already on page 101, and it's amazing. I literally cried when I skipped ahead and read a certain part.

Has anyone else bought/plan on buying/read/finished it? If so, what do you think of it? [/FONT][/CENTER]

[COLOR="Sienna"][SIZE="1"]I was in borders August 1st til midnight (The hour of release). It was very fun waiting, with quizzes, cosplay and sneak previews. I'm in the Jacob Chapters now and I'm just eager to get to the end and find out what happens! I was so shocked at the chapters of Belle and Edward on their honeymoon....I mean can you believe it? Don't want to give away spoilers, but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Did you also know of the chapter on her page? Which is the story of Edward sides of the story. I'm rambling, because I don't know where to start from! The book...every book is so amazing. [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[FONT="Arial"]I read the book and was astonished throughout most of it.

[spoiler]Astonished by the sheer absurdity![/spoiler]

I mean, I've already written a story about [spoiler]vampires getting pregnant[/spoiler], which probably contributed to my reaction, but I did it as a joke. This book was no joke.

Don't get me wrong, I've loved the Twilight series since before it got crazy popular, but this book supplied quite a few laughs (in the wrong places).

The Jacob chapter titles were ridiculous, as well. My favorite was [spoiler]"What Do I Look Like? The Wizard of Oz? You Need a Brain? You Need a Heart? Go Ahead. Take Mine. Take Everything I Have."[/spoiler] Basically, with each new chapter, I was thinking "this is worse than Panic at the Disco!"

However, I laughed the [I]hardest[/I] when [spoiler]Jacob imprinted on Bella's baby,[/spoiler] because I predicted it would happen about 200 pages before it did. I must be psychic!

[spoiler]Bella's vampire chapters[/spoiler] felt really surreal to me, simply because [spoiler]I've been waiting for this to happen since the first page of book one.[/spoiler] It's hard to believe it actually happened, and that it's over now. Sadface.

Oh, but I do have to say that I don't like [spoiler]how there was a rapid influx of characters who, for the most part, ended up having no lines or personality or anything. I hate it when there are extra people who just sit around silently and you never see who they are or anything.[/spoiler] It was most likely unavoidable in this case, and I'll get over it.

Oh again, I forgot: I have a BIG problem with [spoiler]the name Renesmee. Talk about the worst name ever.[/spoiler][/FONT]

[CENTER][FONT="Palatino Linotype"]I just finished the book. Wow.

So, not as great as it was in the beginning of the book. And Clurr, I agree. [spoiler]Renesmee is a horrible name.[/spoiler]

It made me sad, though. I thought back to Twilight, and Bella's relationship with Edward then. I never expected them to [spoiler]have sex and then have a half-human half-vampire baby.[/spoiler] Well, I did expect it... but not like that.

Anyway, I'd have to say that Stephenie might've been on crack while she wrote this...[/FONT][/CENTER]

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Book Antiqua"]I read it. What happened was different and unexpected... I liked it though... [spoiler]When I saw the name Renessme, I thought GHETTO! I mean, it made SENSE to name her that but STILL![/spoiler] And the movie is coming out on Nov 21st, for those who didn't know.[/FONT][/COLOR]
