Last night, I finished the second book in the Twilight series. I am intrigued by the werewolves and Bella's relationship with Jacob. The werewolves are different from what we traditionally think of as werewolves.
I am annoyed with Bella's brooding obsession with Edward. I like the Cullens. They are unique characters, but Bella's attitude after Edward leaves to save her life is irritating. Their relationship is a horrible example of what a true relationship based on love is like. I think with all the comparisons to Romeo and Juliet clinched it for me. I hate that story, and though it has some beautifully written phrases, it one of my least favorite Shakespearean plays. I don't really like the tragedies, and I hate how the story is bandied about as an example of true love. What a load! And people fall for it, especially teenage girls. Ugh!
I like Jacob. He saved her from her depression though she used him so she could hear Edward's voice when she did something crazy. Annoying! I am going to finish the series because I felt like it was left in the middle of the story. There were different aspects that were unresolved that I want to have resolved.
