Worst book I have ever read.
Bella was a stupid, selfish, tart who only promised to marry Edward (and become a vampire by him) in exchange for an ATTEMPT at sex. She refuses to let Jake go, believing she has to heal him, she flips out at the slightest offense, and she drags him back because she won't even consider letting him go.
Whatever made Edward charming in Twilight died here. He's just an accessory of Bella's now... a very boring, bland, not at all romantic, abusive, controlling, statue.
Jake became a jerk (which I suspect is just a ploy by Meyer to make him less likable).
The imprinting concept is disgusting- being forced to love someone but being so compelled you still enjoy it.
Everyone became mentally handicapped so no one could possibly guess that Vicky was behind the newborns which I knew as soon as I read the first chapter... months before the book came out (I read the New Moon special edition).
Absolutely horrible. All my favorite characters became less likable. Worst book ever.

[Spoilers]
The tent scene was great, just loved the bickering. But I was so sad when Jacob got the invitation then wolfed away. So curious to see what happens in the next and Final book.

But they are true- in my opinion anyway and bigger fonts, color changes, exclamation points, and emoticons won't change that; especially with no argument to back it up.

Firework: I agree with you completely, m'dear. I liked Twighlight. But it went downhill from there. Bella got emo and rather stupid, Edward's not cool anymore, just annoying and emo, and I never liked Jacob. Well, I did when she thought of him as a FRIEND. If you really loved someone as much as everyone makes it seems Bella liked Edward, she wouldn't go making out with some other guy. I always think love is somethine where you give yourself completely to the other person, not marrying for sex, not making out with other guys. They're relationship was alot more lust rather than love. Edward thinks shes hot, and Bella jsut wants to have sex. They're relationship is merely physical; they seem to never talk, all they do is suck eachothers faces. Oh, excuse me, they can't french kiss, can they? Well, then, all they do is kiss. There. End of rant.

I could not agree with you more, Piro! Everything you said is true. I wish more girls thought like you! ^^ I am getting so sick of being around my friends who have read the books, and saying how much I dislike Edward, & them being like,"OMFG! HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE HIM HE'S PERFECT!!!!" Uh, hello, no he's not, no matter how much Ms. Myer wants us to believe that, he's not.
I give you karma Piro for saying that!

It's not Edward that I don't like, though I must admit, he's over rated. It's just their relationship that I think is funky ad ick. Seriously, I find deeper and more meaningful relationships more romantic and appealing, and they don't really have a reason for liking each other; they barely know each other. All they do is kiss and stuff. I, personally, don't find it romantic at all. *Shrugs*
And Jasper's like... five hunder bajillion times cooler than Edward.

OK! EVERYONE SETTLE DOWN! SOME PEOPLE LIKE IT AND SOME PEOPLE HATE IT. I THINK ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO LIKE IT SHOULD POST HERE. PEOPLE WHO HATE IT SHOULD KEEP THEIR COMMENTS TO ANOTHER THREAD OR PM'S!
Sorry about that. I love the books! The First chapter of Breaking Dawn is amazing!

Sorry about that. I love the books! The First chapter of Breaking Dawn is amazing! This thread is for discussion of the book, negative comments or no they are opinions. Good discussion does not come from endless rants about how amazing the books are. No fights are taking place, so calm down a bit. I haven't seen the first chapter of breaking dawn, my copy of Eclipse is not Special Edition because I got it a long time ago. Lulz.

Sorry. I was just trying to end the arguing that seemed to be there. *Note to self: don't use caplocks* My friend found the first chapter online, not in the book.

Darn, I wish I had Eclipse special edition, but I can wait for Breaking Dawn. =]
I really dislike how so many people don't like Jake anymore. Honestly, my love for him skyrocketed the past 2 books. I myself like him a bit more than Edward, but I'd rather have Bella end up with Edward anyway.
I found the 3 so far quite enjoyable. That's my opinion.
