Hmm, maybe not so much
So I'd like to formally rescind my former complaints against the characters of the Twilight series. Jacob's not a Total jerk, Bella's not an unfaithful wife, and Edward picked a good mate. I really enjoyed Breaking Dawn, although I still stand by my complaints against the inappropriateness of the passion directed toward young adult readers. Harrumph.

So Monday nights my BFF and I, you know scan the blogs for our normal Tuesday email to our friends of "funniest blogs ever" (Ummm we are single so no judgements :)). We came to yours and of course we were intrigued by the subject of Twilight.....if not by the names on your family list. Anyway, we decided to sound off.
#1 - Twilight is a cheap imitation of Buffy the Vampire Slayer...done and done
#2 - Breaking Dawn was actually our favorite book. I loved the fact that it truly delved into true human emotions. I loved how she was changed, I loved how Edward went damn near crazy and I loved Jacob's storyline. I hated the ending, I thought she took the easy way out (the way all those Morgan's did). I will admit that it was probably a bit too racy for younger readers. But then again my boss did not think there was enough passion. So I guess we all read things differently. I have never been a fan of Bella. This book is no exception, but she does prove to be a multi-faceted woman in this book as opposed to the others. I think my biggest complaint is the story lines that were ripped off from Buffy. But then again with such a perfect series who wouldn't want to rip it off.
Thanks for letting us sound off. Your blog is totally cute as is your family.
