*spoilers (kind of) for Breaking Dawn*
It seems like it would be a stupid, annoying movie. Boy loves girl, girl loves boy. Boy marries girl. Boy and girl honeymoon. Girl is very....*trying to think of an appropriate word*....hormonal? Girl gets preggers. And the rest is history. Even the ending "battle" wasn't all that great. I was so disappointed with that book on all levels.

Kinda spoilers!
* * * * Yes, me too. But Jasper was in it quite a bit, and I liked the part with Jasper's forger. And the part where Jasper and Alice save the day. . . Bella got really annoying, though, and a friend and I have discussed how annoying it was that she didn't have to give up anything. Everything just worked out great for her. It would have been far more romantic if she'd had to sacrifice something. I really just didn't like how she totally became a Bella Sue at the end. I've honestly read better fan fiction. Which was sad, because I really like the premise, and the characters. . .I wish she could have ended he series better.

I agree with you on all levels. Everything just turned out fine and dandy, which it...shouldnt have. That book could have had so much potential, and I didnt really see much of it. I finished each book in a range of two days. It took me about three to four days to read Breaking Dawn because I wasnt really drawn to it. I lost interest in the book.

I wanted to start reading this series, but the library got me Eclipse instead of Twilight. Twilight's the first one, right?

Yes, Twilight is first.
 Read Twilight, skip the middle of New Moon, (  to Link), read Eclipse, then only read the parts of Breaing Dawn with Jasper. Then you'll be happy.

Read Twilight, read the middle of New Moon (and fall in love with it), enjoy Eclipse, and don't bother with Breaking Dawn. So you wont be disappointed

to BOP! Read the Jasper bookends of New Moon, but skip all the doggie stuff in the middle.

You guys are crazy!
I'm going to disagree with you on Breaking Dawn. I really enjoyed it. The bickering between Rosalie and Jake was lol funny. The blonde jokes and the dog jokes kept the whole preggers chapters from getting depressing. Did anyone notice how much crap Charlie dealt with during the course of the books?

He did have to go through a lot. I thought it was appalling of Bella for what she put everyone through.
Curu!! Why would anyone want to skip the best part of New Moon, are you crazy ?

They're not pulitzer prize winning books, so don't go into them looking for the best literary experience since Hemmingway or anything.
But they are fun, and for the most part light hearted, and just a fun way to spend an evening. And now, for your viewing pleasure, JASPER, played by the rather yummy Jackson Rathbone.

I got New Moon from the library today! Only 190-ish on the waiting list as opposed to 310 for Twilight and 93 for Eclipse.
