Sooo, I was reading the Twilight series.....

And I had to stop. @_@ (Note, this is more a review on why I stopped reading Breaking Dawn-- spoilers abound. You've been warned o_O )

....I had to stop reading this. Well, actually, I've been listening to the audio book since I am too busy to read for fun, so technically, I had to stop listening to this. @_@ I'm sorry but the whole imprinting on children thing.... makes me want to retch. My stomach lurches just thinking about it. I know, I know, it's the whole Protector deal but.... still- it'd eventually be like marrying your uncle or something. o_O Just... Geh. My issues were this was more like an epilogue story. There were no villians to really drive the plot, the first few chapters were the adventures in Vampy-boy and Emo-girl's sex life on a magical little island far far away where no one can hear you *beepbeepbeep* -republican!-*beepbeepbeeeeep!* (cookies to whoever gets that reference!) ----And while Meyer didn't totally go romance novel on us, thank God, the mental images still won't go away... And from there I was able to figure the rest out. I was like "Let me guess: they's gonna has a babie yes. Even tho that doesn't make a lot of sense that vampygirls are infertile and vampyboys aren't. And thens Bella ish gonna has some sortsa abnormal preggyness, yes. Baby gonna prolly reach maturity faster and be flawless yes. And..... What about Jacob? ......*ponderponderponder-REALIZE* ....Don't wanna think about it." A few peeks at some Amazon.com reviews confirmed my fears. 8/

So--- I couldn't bring myself to finish this. Sickeningly predictable, and man do I mean sickeningly, no driven plot since the villains were wiped out prematurely, annnd.... yeah. Oh, and the message was awful, too. Maybe I've been spoiled by other books like The Giver, Potter, David Eddings, (heh, these books kinda center on choices as their themes, don't they?) but to me, books need a GOOD message to deliver. In all my writing classes, I had to deliver a message or drive a point home, regardless of if it were a ceative writing assignment or an essay- and I have read several essays (Plato's cave allegory, Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal being some of my favs) which also have a message- I am digressing a little, but my point is when you write or tell a story, there is something you want to communicate, entertainingly or not. This series, if it did have a message, and I indeed think it did, it's a bad one: You are nothing without your man. Regardless of if he talks down to you or mistreats you, you need a man to be happy. Growing up and aging is the worst thing that can happen to you unless sex is involved. Forget learning to be yourself and face some alone time before you're ready for an intense relationship, forget perusing an education, in the end, all you need is your man, to be married at 18, and a baby. Yep.

I think not. If I had a little sister in high school, I wouldn't want her reading this. o_O She could read it after a few years of college and a reality check, but..... egads.

Maybe I am being too harsh, too judgmental, and taking this too seriously- it's fiction after all. Pure entertainment. I get that. I DO plan to read more, but not now. I'll wait. When I first started this series, I liked the first book. It was the adventures of Vampyboy and Emogirl. Cute. Interesting. I thought some people were either too generous or too harsh in their reviews. But from book 2 (which was exciting at points but I wanted to SLAP Edward!) on.... I wanted to hit my head. Repeatedly. What ultimately turned me off though was the imprinting on babies/toddlers thing. *puke* I know the other side of the argument but still...

I'm more reviewing on the series as a whole, but I'm also leaving stuff out. Like how I wanted to STRANGLE Jacob after a while! "I'll never hurt you Bella- *hurts*" then he comes crawling back with his tail between his legs- then it's "I promised I'd never hurt you--*hurts, insults her friends, betrays trust, hurts again, is a total *******, forced tongue kiss/ASSAULT!, etc*-- Dude, did anyone else notice a pattern going on here?! He's one of those guys who keeps backstabbing you then comes crawling back all apologetic, which is probably fake, meaningless, and just good acting skills on his part, and he then goes on and hurts you again. And some people says he treats Bella like a girl!? Sorry but if a guy treated me like this, I wouldn't let him repeat offenses- he'd be out of my life the FIRST time he screwed me over. If not the first, definately the second, with a restraining order stapled to his forehead. Gals, don't put up with that! o_O Have some more respect for yourself- or you'll be a doormat! Sorry Jacob lovers, but.... that's how I feel. I liked him at first, really, I did, but after he became a werewolf and his personality pretty much changed, I just wanted to kick him! I shoulda saved that rant for a review on Eclipse but... I had to get it out. *steps off the soap box*
