"(You know how long this book is? "Renesmee" is starting to look like a really cute name.)"
Word x 1,000,000. It is the most jacked up name ever. When she explained how she was combining Renee and Esme's names, I thought, isn't that some shit that a 14-year-old girl would come up with? And then I remember that I had devolved into a 14-year-old girl from reading this book, and I probably shouldn't judge. And then I thought the name was cute, and I threw up in my mouth a teensy bit.
I was glad to get the 4-for-4, but it felt sort of hollow, because no one had to sacrifice anything. I would have never believed an author other than Meyer would give it to me, either. That woman can't bear to make her characters have long-lasting, true suffering. I got a feeling Jacob would imprint on the baby during his part, but I kind of hoped Meyer would put he and Leah together, because that would have at least been a relationship that someone chose in this freaking book, instead of imprinting and obsessive OMGs. But that cannot be. Jacob need not feel real heartbreak; he only loved Bella because she had the DNA to make his imprint baby. By the same logic, shouldn't he have been all over some Edward, too? I don't know.
I don't know why people are so stirred up about this book, either. Meyer's been writing crappy crap since Twilight, and if people have actually tricked themselves into thinking they read this thing because it was GOOD, they are crazy. They read it because they wanted to be dazzeled by completely urealistic Edward, who really isn't developed as a character any more than Bella is. It's just that he's hot, and beautifulomg, and I can allow my self to be submurged in those shallow waters. The trouble comes when people jump headfirst into said waters, and become surprised when their head crashes into the bottom.
