Okay finished the third book last evening and am already reading the fourth book. Nothing much changed in the plot..well nothing strategic as far as I know. Same old Edward, same old Bella and same old Jacob. Their same old love triangle and same old stupid, juvenile blabbering. I am losing my patience now. If it wasn’t for the refreshing jabbers here and there, it would have been hard to finish.
okay, I lied. I need to finish this series now. I want to know what’s
Anyway, some of funny quotes (may be they are just funny to me but still I am putting them here. At times, I go back and read these quotes from my previous posts. I know I am weird..)
Okay they are not quotes per se but entire incidents this time. Sorry I couldn’t resist:
- (Bella was arranging magnets on the fridge while she waited to go to work(she was early)): The last two magnets –round black utilitarian pieces….-did not want to cooperate with my fixation. Their polarities were reversed; every time I tried to line the last one up, the other jumped out of place.
For some reason – impending mania, perhaps – this really irritated me. Why couldn’t they just play nice? Stupid with stubbornness, I kept shoving them together as if I was expecting them to suddenly give up. I could have flipped one over, but that felt like losing. Finally, exasperated at myself more than magnets, I pulled them from the fridge and held them together with two hands. It took a little effort – they were strong enough to put up a fight – but I forced them to coexist side-by-side.
“See,” I said out loud – talking to inanimate objects, never a good sign - “That’s not so horrible, is it?”
I stood there like an idiot for a second, not quite able to admit that I wasn’t having any lasting effect against scientific principles. Then, with a sigh, I put the magnets back on the fridge, a foot apart.
“There’s no need to be so inflexible,” I muttered.
It was still too early, but I decided I’d better get out of the house before inanimate objects started talking back.

- (Bella is talking to Jacob, trying to make peace between him and Edward) “See,” I explained. “I don’t care who’s a vampire and who’s a werewolf. That’s irrelevant. You are Jacob, and he is Edward, and I am Bella. and nothing else matter.”
His eyes narrowed slightly. “But I am a werewolf,” he said unwillingly. “And he is a vampire,” he added with obvious revulsion.
“And I am Virgo!” I shouted, exasperated.
…
“Okay. Just Bella and Jacob. None of those freaky Virgos here.” He smiled at me.

Okay I am not typing any more. Have to get back to my book…
So it is very teenagerish! Let us know how you go finding out what's wrong with Bella! She sounds like a messed up character and so not a role model for young girls!!!
ReplyDelete@ PB: Yes! A lot of romantic drama that was beyond my tolerance level..Anyway, finished the series and have the review for the last book up.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely abt her not being a role model for young girls but then who can stop teenagers from fantasizing.
