Although I loved the book, I was frustrated by Bella throwing herself at Edward. I was glad she changed her tune at the end, but disappointed that Edward suddenly didn't care anymore.

Susan, thanks for your comment at Deliciously Clean Reads. I also felt uncomfortable when I read A Great and Terrible Beauty. After reading that you felt the same way, I decided to remove the review.

Thanks again!

I was really annoyed with Bella in this book. The whole Edward v. Jacob thing just drove me nuts!

I didn't mean to make you take your review of A Great and Terrible Beauty off your website :( I was just surprised to see it labeled a "clean read." It's so hard to find books that don't have any "ick" in them, so thanks for your site! I enjoy looking at it.

Hey Susan, I just got done with this series and I actually threw this book, mid-sentence! When she called Jacob back to kiss her after edward had just left to go save her stupid life, it was all I could do not to burn it so I threw it at the wall instead. I have never been so upset by a book like this before (blatant betrayal of a Soul Mate for pete's sake!) Ugh... At least Breaking dawn (half way through) resolves the love triangle and lets everyone involve have a 'normal' relationship. BTW have you read Breaking dawn? I hope to see a review on that in the near future!

Hey Tobin - I'm so glad you decided to comment! You're so funny. This one did really annoy me, which is probably why I haven't read Breaking Dawn yet. I pre-ordered it so I would have it the day it came out, but it's still sitting on my shelf gathering dust. I will read it eventually ... What did you think of Breaking Dawn?

Breaking dawn was good, it did tie up loose ends and I did to an extent enjoy the part where stephenie changes character and narrates from Jacobs perspective. I also liked (sorry to spoil it) bella's transformation and her first few experiences as a vampire - especially for the fact that it resolved the love triangle completely - which I too was over at the end of new moon. My complaint is regarding the 'battle' scene - huge build up - literally chapters of bella thinking its all over and then its resolved with very little 'bloodshed' - har har. But although it left me a little wanting, I was glad that none of the primary cast was sacrificed. Additionally I loved the last three pages. Also there is some agitation circulating about Jacob and his imprinting and to be truthful I couldn't be happier for the guy- really he get exactly what he wants, and not just because of the whole freaky-force-of-nature thing. Well I hope that I haven't ruined it for you if you haven't read it yet, because I sure would like to know what you think of it - I have this blog bookmarked, you are such a fabulous writer!! BTW have you read the uglies series? My sister in law recommended it and ugh - I have a mouthful to say about that.

Tobin - I really need to read BREAKING DAWN - I just haven't gotten around to it. Now that you told me the whole plot, I guess I don't need to! LOL. No, I will read it, I just haven't gotten around to it. I'll let you know what I think when I finish.

You found my reviews on the Uglies series. I liked the idea of these, but not so much the execution. The last book especially bugged. I still thought they were interesting, just not that great, you know?

BTW: Cute new profile pic. The kids are getting so big!
