Go ahead under your own responsibility.
So, I finished the book today. This morning. I read the last 7 chapters I had left in about 3 hours. Delighted. Amused. Confused. Eager. And loving each of them. I LOVED THE BOOK. And I'm willing to read it again (though I dunno if I’ll skip the Jacob's part XD seriously, I don't like him...)
Because I love this book ENTIRELY and adore its happy ending, I have to say I DESPISE the MORONIC critics it's receiving.
First, this is a book. About characters who are not real even if the setting do exists in the world.
Second, when you read a book NOT WRITTEN BY YOURSELF, you have to be open to whatever it happens. Not your story, remember?
Third, whatever the ideology of the author, this is a fictional novel. That means, what you read can have a message if you tend to find conspiracies. But here what we have is nothing else but a story out of standards.
So. If you think the WHOLE message under the book was "girls are submitted to men, love is about commitment, and abortion is not an option" YOU'RE FREAKING WRONG!!!!!!!!!
Because:
Whether Stephenie is or not a religious person, her point of view about this issues has been the most open I've ever seen. I never saw someone write giving such life and free will to the characters as she's done. And if you can't understand this you haven't understood a single thing in the books.
The fact Bella was enchanted with Edward was due to he being sth impossible. All things count. A vampire. But before anything, love.
That's all, love, is it that strange? To think "I can live through this but I WON'T" You make your choices, you love to an extent it changes you. And every person loves different. Just bear it. Bella's not down because she's weak, but because she's in love in a powerful way. And you cannot try to put this into real world because there's no way to recreate it. It's impossible, it's a fictional story, it means NOTHING. It's NOT REAL, for G-d's sake.
Second, if you cannot put yourself into the characters' mind, let go of the book NOW. And center on whatever else. Because the whole story involves different characters, different minds and ideas, that's what makes it so rich. They're not all copies of the author. They have individual beliefs, and, as described and explained through the book, have lived all enough to make their own assumptions and deal with them. Right or wrong, their choices. Not yours, remember?
And third. WTF is all the CRAP about the book being an anti abortion pamphlet?! Are you ALL CRAZY!!?? Hell if I'm not the first one to jump and shout out loud I'm PRO abortion. So what? So what if Bella was not? So what if she was, but what she carried was her only opportunity to give her and Edward a child? So what if she never thought sth like this could happen that she never thought about it? AND SO WHAT IF THEY CAN HEAR THE CHILD? IT-IS-A-FICTIONAL-BOOK. Just repeat with me, slowly, for your slow brain cells. There's nothing applicable from our world to this book, except the locations to be real. THAT'S ALL. DEAL WITH IT.
You don't like the happy ending? Would you have preferred a bloody massacre? Maybe see everyone fucked up whit a loss? You're twisted, it scares the hell out of me, this people.
But I loved the book. I really love it. And there has been nothing in it that disappointed me. Because I wasn't expecting anything; I read books as what they are, and knowing they are not about what a like, rather what the story drives them. So I'm sorry for those who didn't like the book, I don't believe they'll refund you your money just because you're intransigent and close minded, so that's all. Again, deal with it. Stop reading fanfics, or not, write your own end for the book, or better, write your own copy-of-the-book-that-disappointed-you-at-the-end and be happy with your own lie.
For the rest of the people, the ones MATURE ENOUGH to understand the book, cheers mates, we've survived one of the most sweet,amazing,startling love stories ever written.
Kisses for Stephenie. She deserves the Pulitzer XDDDDDDDDD
Pd: I leave you here some of the articles where the anti-breaking dawn is commented, for you to judge.
Oh, and about the sex scenes. I-FREAKING-TOTALLY-LOVED-THEM. I was sooooooooo eager :D What a shame you couldn't see more, muahahahaha XDDD
As Stephenie's said "If they really love the characters, then I would hope that this would make sense to them, because these are the true characters," she explained. "This is the story the way it was always meant to be."
