Apparently this morning I couldn't get on the blog so I prepared a book review on Word Documents first, that didn't turn out well, I was so emotional after the book that I wrote 1000 words. Basically re-telling the story, that's no good is it? It’s the first time I finish a book in one day....YAY ME....It’s not that I’m terribly slow, I’m just extremely lazy :)
I officially claim New Moon to be much better than Twilight. New Moon gave more depth to the character, give them more reasons to do what they do and now I see why many people support Jacob Black to be with Bella. Jacob was in many ways useless in Twilight, he was just the guy with the black long hair that was the son of Charlie's friend. There was not much significance in him except for that he was the one that told Bella about the legends of the vampires and the Quileutes. Meyer developed Jacob so well in New Moon that as much as I was happy that Bella was united with Edward again after 7 months of separation, she hurted someone who had always truly been there for her. There is this "Team Jacob" and "Team Edward" thing that has been happening in America and Australia (through the words of my friends - Apparently they even divided the cinema into Team Jacob and Team Edward), I'm just not going to take part of. I just can’t decide.
One of Meyer's main focus was Bella's depression. In my opinion, as much as it gave Bella's love more power, it just made Bella look more vulnerable. Bella was the one that desperately wanted to be a vampire, she risks her life saving Edward in Volterra from the Volturri and hangs out with a gang of werewolves who needed more help than just anger management yet she was so weak to a touch without Edward. That was something I wasn't sure if I like it or not. Something I definitely DID NOT like was how New Moon ended. It was exactly the same as the way it used to be, except the transformation of Jacob from human to human+werewolf, the encounter of Alice, Edward and Bella with the Volturri and Charlie's protection of Bella against Edward.
ONE THING I LOVE LOVE LOVE - how Jacob reminded Edward and Bella of the treaty that Carlisle made with Jacob's great grandfather that if the Cullens dared to BITE a human, there werewolves are allowed to attack them. If the Cullens don't BITE Bella, she would remain human and eventually die because of old age. If Bella dies, Edward promised to go right after her as well. The Cullens are just adopted vampires, many of which were turned from human to vampire by Carlisle himself however, their bond for the last hundreds of years were much stronger than just a family. They cannot lose Edward no matter what. I'm so curious on what Edward would do with Bella, if she can't die, nor become immortal, what would become of her? Not to even mention that Alice promised the Volturris that they will turn Bella from a human to a vampire because she seems to have the potential of becoming a powerful "cold one" or "bloodsuckers" as Jacob likes to call it. Bella have a special talent, she is immune to Edward, Aro and Jane's power when she is still just a human. The Volturri will eventually seek for the Cullens to check on this matter, and if it is not done, Alice, Edward and Bella will all have to die (immortals doesn’t mean there’s no way to kill them – the world would be overloaded with vampires if so).
P.S. Sorry I couldn’t make this sound less confusing...
