I finished BD last night and...

WOW. It was amazing. The whole damn saga was amazing, but I think BD was just brilliant. There were so many parts that I read over a couple times because one time didn't do them justice.

I am so glad I am done with the saga now so I can open all the posts here and search the net without risking spoilers   And DH is finallystarting to accept that he's lost his wife to RP.

I have the day off, and I just may go see Twilight again.

I really loved BD too. It was freaking weird, but I loved it.

I just wanted them to FIGHT!!! I was waiting and waiting and waiting. It was like ALMOST reaching an O.......then losing it.

I am curious how they intend to film this book...because it's really crazy weird.?

I wanted the fight too, until I read SM's explanation for not having them fight on her website. Now I agree with the ending she wrote. I like it.

It was strange while reading BD, it almost felt like a different set of characters. Edward and Bella seemed so different than in the 1st book (and rightly so, they changed a lot in those few years) but it was so strange

Yay for another BD fan!!

I'm really surprised at the number of people who were disappointed with the lack of physical combat. Come on! Everyone would die! This isn't HP here - it would have been a bloodbath (so to speak). I loved the mental battle. I thought it was brilliant.

at first i thought it was fine but after re-reading the other 3 and learning more about the series in general, it was very disappointing to me.  especially now that i have read two different alt. fanfiction BD versions where every aspect is practically better than the actual book...the writing much better too.  hard for me to ever look at BD the same again.

also, SM's whininess about not finishing Midnight Sun (which i really liked) really bugs me.  she needs to get over herself.

I liked BD too!  But I can see the problems that people have with it.  Still, it's the only book in the series in which Bella actually had some backbone.

Thats awesome...I just finished the saga right before Christmas & i was very sad when it was over!  I seen the movie twice at the movies a twice on my PC  lol

I want more!

Now you have to read Midnight Sun online...it's great

Cassian

i already read midnight sun. i LOVED it. Stephenie, IMO, has an amazing talent for fleshing out character so thoroughly to make you really feel like you know them. The suspense at the end was powerful. I was biting my hand as I was reading it

 

I am dying for the rest of MS to be released. It too, is brilliant.

Thanks for sharing! That was very insightful. I'm glad she answered so many questions!?

That was very interesting. (The info on SM's website.)  I had not read that before.

I finished the book last night too and I loved it.  There were definitely some strange aspects, but I loved the closure.  I was anticipating a fight, but I'm glad there wasn't after all.  I just can't get over the Jacob/Reneesme imprinting.  That waas really surprising to me but it does make sense in the end.
