Nice to meet you. ^-^

Plus, I couldn't quite grasp how far away the cottage was supposed to be. I can see how it would make you alter the image of it in your mind. Thinking about it, it did for me too, but I think that happens quite often for me with books, because I take the imagination into my own hands to picture a scene or a person, and it's not until certain details come up later on that I realise the picture in my head doesn't fit it. I still picture it how I want though, lol.

Of course characters can change, I wouldn't have an issue with that. I guess I just didn't feel like the changes were very organic; maybe they weren't written fluidly enough, so they felt jarring or just plain wrong. But my issues with Bella feeling out of character weren't from when she was a vampire, they came long before that, way back in the honeymoon, just before she got pregnant. But once she was pregnant? She may as well have been a different character altogether. I obviously understand motherhood changes you, without a doubt, so she'd mature fast from that, but it still didn't feel like it...worked. Not for me, anyway. I never bought her transformation. I became away of her in the sense that she was just a character that someone was writing, rather than feeling like she could be real. I think that's when a book fails for a person.

Wow, sorry, I rambled a lot then, lol. So I'll answer your question briefly; no, my mental image of the Cullen household didn't change too much. How did yours alter?

No, no, ramblings are good; I'm a total rambler, so it makes me happy when other people are the same :) I can understand that you liked the book in the sense that you got to learn more about the characters, and even though I was hugely disappointed by it the book still made a good read in the sense that you kept turning the pages, wondering what was going to happen. I just wish Bella hadn't been given everything so easily, and that, oh I don't know, the characters actually felt like the characters we knew, lol. Did they not feel like different people to you entirely sometimes? The whole book didn't feel like a Twilight book. I had to pretend it was something almost unrelated to the series to get through it without getting too mad.

At 4:52pm on August 15, 2008, Harmonized said…: I love Sarah Dessen, she's my favourite YA author. Which is your favourite book of hers?

There are too many things that bugged me about BD to go through them, but my main problems were a) the plot, lol (kind of a big problem.) and b) how convenient everything was for Bella--not having to give up Jacob/Charlie/having a child, being instantly brilliant at being a vampire and skipping the newborn stage beyond all reason, having Jacob imprint on Nessie so not only does she never lose him, but so Nessie has supernatural protection still if something were to happen to the Cullens. There's happy endings, and then there's being handed everything on a silver platter, you know? It felt like a cop-out. So, this will sound like a weird question, but how come you liked it? lol

At 4:40pm on August 15, 2008, Harmonized said…: Hey, thanks for the add :) I noticed that a lot of the books you listed as your faves are my favourites too. Though I have to ask, since you read Twilight, what you thought of Breaking Dawn?

At 1:56pm on August 15, 2008, sebastian sileoni said…: Hola, my name is el geeko. I am a 100% latino nerd (XDXD), I love chating to nerds from all over the world. So, if you want to feel the ultimate latin geek expierence, this is your time ^3^

What Be Your Nerd Type? Your Result: Drama Nerd You sure do love the spotlight and probably have a very out-going and loud personality. Or not. That's just a stereotype, of course. Participation in the theatre is something to be very proud of. Whether you have a great voice for musicals, or astounding skills for dramas/comedies; keep up the good work. We need more entertainment these days that isn't television and video games (not that these things are bad, necessarily.)
