Oh, Bella, Where To Start?

I'm a proud Twilight fan, not a weird can't-have-a-bad-word-said-against-it psycho fan, just a regular girl that likes the series. I do have one huge problem with it, though. Bella. I could rant for hours on why I hate her, but why do that, when this pretty much sums up my every issue with the girl?

I get that Twilight is a dramatisation of first love but that never stopped me having the urge to slap Bella throughout New Moon and yell at her to 'get a grip,' and I do think it's worrying that girls could be watching it, believing her reaction to be that of a reasonable, rational person. Clearly, I'm not the only person that thought this...phew!

I would disagree with the writer on a few points, though. As it is about a girl who falls madly in love with a 108 year old vamp, I think it's kind of stupid to question how she manages to have a baby for him (not that I didn't find that highly creepy) - obviously, all logic has to get thrown out of the window with these books. Also, Jacob Black is NOT flawed. Yeesh, a guy happens to be descended from Werewolves and suddenly he's a bad guy. He's a good Werewolf, 'kay, so back off Jacob!

Other than that... *cheers wildly* for those non-Bella lovers!

New Moon Fails To Light Bella's Self Respect

Read Twilight and couldn't wait to get New Moon...the anticipation was killing me!! So, eventually got New Moon and although I wouldn't be so immature as to say the book sucked, I will ask this: WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU BELLA!?!? Biggest problem with Bella in this book? She was just so CLINGY-and what with her being prepared to give up her entire life for Edward?? I know we teenage girls can be dramatic but by the time Bella started throwing herself off cliffs...I was like ENOUGH BELLA, ENOUGH OF YOU AND YOUR ''BURNING HOLE''!! What bugged me even more than her being needy? -Her selfishness. After Edward leaves she starts hanging out with Jacob and TOTALLY leads him on...THEN when guilt hits, she asks herself whether it's okay to be with him even though they would never love each other in the same way...No Bella! It's not okay, it's called being a USER!! I'm telling you, Jacob saved this book-without him I doubt I would've wanted to read to the end.
Twilight was definitely the better of the two...Agree or no?
