The End.

W.O.W.

So I finished last night at 11:20, going on about 2 hours of sleep. Worth it? I'd do it again in a "heartbeat." :) This book is SOOO extremely different than the first three, and I thought every moment of it was perfect.

The first three books are such a slow build to a big climax at the end, with a few significant things happening along the way. This book? Nuh-uh. It's like BAM-BAM-BAM, big thing after big thing happening. Halfway through, she's already blown through most of the scenarios & developments that fans have been theorizing about for a year now, and you're just left going "I've still got half a book to read - now what?" And it just gets better from there.

I will give away no spoilers about anything, only to say - I LOVED every bit of it & by the end was blissfully content with the conclusion of the series. Stephenie Meyer, you take my breath away!

So, I think it's awesome too - and I am totally sad that you aren't in our ward anymore - because I had no one to talk to today!

Cool. I started Twilight last night. at the rate I'm going it might take me a year to get to this one, but I'll get there! Thanks for sharing your love of the book with all of us!

Towards the middle of the book I wasn't so sure this was the book I was hoping for. As I started getting into the last third of the book I realized yes, yes, this is getting fun. I am sorry I don't quite share the same incredible enthusiasm as you... but I'm trying, I truly am! Maybe it has something to do with me liking Jacob's character...
