Okay people I know lots of you have read it. Opinions? Who here has read the new book?

I love those books! I can't wait for the third to come out.
I feel really sorry for Jacob though.
Maybe Bella should become a werewolf so the book could be even more of a Romeo/Juliet type thing.

But then that would be more like a rip-off Underworld. I already, when glancing at the plot see it a bit like that after New Moon.

Jakes sweet but there's no contest between him and Edward. I hated to see him all sad at the end of the book. Its not going to get any better though if Bella becomes a vampire. In fact it might get nasty.

I think she should just stay human and dump the lot of them.

No she can't shes 'in love'.

Although I gotta say Edward is starting to go a bit crazy if he wants marrige...

Okay I didn't mean that. Edward isn't crazy. But I think he keeps on forgetting how old Bella is.

I read the very beginning and it looks pretty good but I've heard some bad stuff about it.

Just that the ending was too happy or something like that.

Well the ending to the first one could be interpreted as happy I guess, but there is no way that the second ending is happy. Far from it. You should read it it's really good.

I'm going. I almost got it last weekend but there were some other books I wanted. I'll get it when I finish Halo I guess. Also, I found out that they said the book was good, but Edward was put through a Mary-sue litmus test and got the High score; irredeemable sue, but if even the haters like it, then I'll check it out. (Also, a non-happy ending for me is when someone has a VERY detailed slaughter from demons and dieing from it. That was creepy D=.)

Has anyone here heard of Midnight Sun? It's on Stephanie Meyers website. Twilight told from Edwards point of view. It's really good.

I know! It's all the way in August though, I don't know how I'm going to be able to wait. I don't know if she's actually going to publish Midnight Sun but I hope she does. I've already been thinking about Twilight from Edward's point of view.

Ugh, I'll have to find some other series to keep me busy untill August <_< ... I hope she posts Midnight Sun too! Did you read that small part she wrote about New Moon from Edward's point of view as well? That was also good... It would be interesting if she did New Moon from Jake's perspective, I'd like that... :D

She did! *runs off to read it*

In terms of other series try Maximum Ride. That was the last one I was crazy over. It's really good.

Just seen the cover for Eclipse, so excited. Gaspard Ulliel would make a good Edward: y/n?

Nothing to see here, move along.

Yeah, isnt the cover amazing!

Hmm... Gaspard Ulliel? ... I dont think he has the right color of hair... ;) ... but I'm just picky XD

For me no one will ever be able to capture Edward as I see him in my mind. After all he isn't human, so why should a human be able to play him?
