Breaking Dawn Clarifications

I suppose I should clarify a few things about my Breaking Dawn Comments made yesterday.

While I found major issue with Mrs. Meyer's new book, I could not help but be fascinated, once again, by her writing style and voice. She has such unique voices for each of her characters.

I am one of those people who do not read chapter titles in the table of contents. I like to be surprised as I go through a book, like opening Christmas presents. I don't want hints. I want to be surprised and WHAMed in the face when I'm opening them. The same rule applies to books.

When I got to book two and was in Jacobs head, I was in heaven. He's so feisty, so intense, so raw. My heart broke for him, I wanted him to imprint on someone, or fall in love with someone, or at least shag the devil out of Leah. Meyer's treatment of Jacob in BD was fantastic. I loved his voice, his chapter titles had me laughing out loud at each turn.

Bravo, Mrs. Meyer, on your Jacob treatment. I just had another plot in mind for book four...then again, that's why they pay you the big bucks and I'm stuck writing blogs and procrastinating on my own books...!

Remember that each time you turn the page, be it a book or in life, the joy you find is what you make it become.

Love ya! ;)
