Ha! That's so what happened to me. I actually ran into a bookstore with five minutes left before closing as they were trying to shut the door to buy Eclipse.

I did the same thing. I remember running to B and N during THanksgiving Holidays to buy Breaking Dawn.
It's srsly like it takes over your life. I've never had a book do that to me before, and I gotta say, I hope it never does. I like them to touch me, not make me we warped and obsessed(as I gaze as my RPatz calender...lol) |

Over the course of the series, I started to realize (just my opinion, not to ruffle any feathers) that the books really weren't that good. Then I read BD, and it was such a mindfrick that I was just laughing, going this is ludicrous. Breaking Dawn was eighteen kinds of awesome in its total insanity.

I wasn't a Breaking Dawn fan at all. I finished with and was left with a total, "wtf?" But I still love the series. Can't help it. It's a sickness.

I'm with you, Char. I pushed myself to get through BD. I was pissed that people didn't die in the end and there wasn't a war. LAME.
But I do wish I could figure out what spell SMeyer cast on her words, so I can use it.

I was a fan of Jacob's chapter titles in BD.
*loves Jacob* However, his angsty snarkiness was completely screwed over when he FELL IN LOVE WITH A BABY. *facepaw*

I, for one, love BD. Maybe it was just a giant experiment in satire. I love it cause it felt like Smeyer was just like 'read this, bitches!' And it was INSANE.

Exaccccttllyyy...the whole imprinting on a baby thing just didn't.work. Ew. I know she tried to explain it and said it wasn't child molestery, but it SO felt child molestery.

I don't have kids yet, but I wouldn't want some 17 yr old dude hanging around my kid, "protecting her" till she came of age to bang. I wanted Jacob and Leah to get together. Poor Leah. She was a srsly shit on character!!! |

It wasn't even the molestation thing that squicked me. It was the fact that Jacob's whole PERSONALITY changed with Nessie. He wasn't even Jacob anymore - he was some sensitive romantic squishy Gary Stu. Everything I loved about Jacob was GONE with that stupid mutant vampire baby.

Hey dudes!
I agree Bex - I wanted death and destruction, not vampire Wonder Woman saves the day. Ick. Hated it. JK knows how to end a series! For her, I'll be in line at midnight every time!
