I wish she would have stopped with the last chapter - the Epilogue ruined it.

I agree that I wish she had stopped sooner. Honestly I wished the same for Breaking Dawn so it seems to be a running theme.

I guess she's just one of those authors that feels the need to tie up ALL the loose ends. Although I did want to point out about Renesmee - yes, it's a stupid name, but 18 year olds who have babies [sometimes] name them stupid things. There was a young girl in my OB's office who just had a baby and named it a stupid two-names-mashed-together of her friends that just died in a car accident because they were going 30 miles an hour over the limit around a curve - and yes, that part was included in the explanation of her baby's name.

Oh, and in The Host - I HATED Jared. He was such a ridiculously unsympathetic character, that I wished Wanda just told him F-you. Ian =/= Edward, but I still liked him.

Even though I hate her tendency so far to tie up all loose ends I'm still looking forward to reading something else by her!

I liked Ian a lot-I really wish Jared would've dropped off the face of the Earth.

I bought the Host about a month ago when I was in a bookstore waiting to meet my friend....I have yet to read it......mostly because I will not have any free time until the summer!

I read the entire series about a month ago. To be honest, I thought Twilight was just okay and kind of sappy. But I absolutely LOVED the other three books!

A fellow teacher sent me these "What did Edward do while the others were going off and having crazy sex? links from LiveJournal that she recently found and OMG they are HILARIOUS! Enjoy!
