A Love/Hate Relationship

Warning:

If you are in the midst of reading the Twilight series do not read beyond this point. It includes major plot spoilers. I take no blame for any damage done to your reading experiences if you choose to continue past this point.

Huhhmmmph. I don't know what to say. Then why, you ask am I posting. Because normally people who post have something to say. But if you have been reading my blog for any length of time now, you know that that is not always the case.

I just finished reading Eclipse, the third book in the Twilight series. When I started reading the series I fell in love. I fell in love with a vampire. I fell in love with the story. The whole shabang. Then it really started to get irritating. I now hate the before mentioned vampire. He gets on my nerves like nothin' else before. I think it is the sappiest love story ever written. It makes me want to vomit sometimes. I have to keep reminding myself that it was written for geeky little teenage girls with thick glasses and acne who dream of having someone love them in the same way Edward loves Bella.

Don't even get me started on Bella. Has there ever been a more annoying, stupid, idiotic main character in the history of literature? I would just love to slap some sense into that girl. I don't even want to wast anymore of my time on her.

The story line in the last book was so obvious. Oh, my! Jacob gets hurt so Bella can realize she really does love him. Oh, my! Bella gets to see a newborn vampire in action so she can have a little doubt cast about weather or not she wants to join the ranks of the undead. What a surprise!

All that being said, I loved the books. As much as I wanted to throw them up against the wall at times, I couldn't stop reading them. And now that I am finished, I can't wait for the next one to be published. It sounds to me like the next one will be through the eyes of Jacob, maybe, from what I gathered from the epilogue. Good. Jacob is the only redeeming character in the whole series. I've dropped the fascination with the vampire and I am now in love with a werewolf. Go figure.

I started reading the new book for my book club this month and I am so bored with it. I want so much to return to the small town of Forks and all its magical mystical creatures of the night. Why? When it so bugged the heck of me? I don't know. There is just something about it that pulls you in and keeps you trapped there. Like I said, I have a

relationship with this series.
