Eclipse
by Stephanie Meyer
I don’t know exactly what everyone’s ideal is, but Edward definitely isn’t it for me. It’s like he took his 100+ years to learn what everyone wanted and then molded himself into this “perfect” being. And Bella is kind of annoying with all her noble thoughts and self-hate. It just feels like such a show. But I love Jacob’s character. He’s true and honest and isn’t too concerned with being perfect.
I like the part where Jacob says that he would have been a lot healthier for Bella than Edward is. It’s true, I think these books are so out there, it’s kind of scary to think that an entire generation of people will have this fantasy about needing to be with their love 24/7. And I hate how Meyer has made Bella to be this little bunny, something that needs to be constantly protected, from others and herself. Come up, we’re in the 21st century.
