Well, now.
I just got my hands in the latest (and supposedly last) book on the vampire series from Stephenie Meyers, "Breaking Dawn"....and I'm SCARED of reading it!, I just can't get myself to. I was on Meyer's web page and accidentally (I swear it was an accident!!) read some things that can be considered spoilers...and it spooked me! the words pregnancy and death coming together... as if marrying at 18 wasn't enough *shudders*.
Well, there's not much one can do about this...I mean, it's pretty much the end, though I don't remember getting myself so worked up with The Deathly Hallows.
I just can remember the first time I came in contact with Meyer's work, I was on a forum and a very nice member decided to share what she considered was a really good book. The title, the cover and the rushed summary interested me and so I downloaded it (yeah, downloaded, I know this may seem unfair for the writer, the publisher and all that stuff but I will make clear that you just CAN'T get this book and lots of others on my country, so the only way I and thousands of other people have to quench our thirst for literature is through the internet... and I DID buy the book at the first chance I had during a visit to the U.S.). It sat on my book folder for weeks maybe (I have tons of books in waiting and can't read them fast enough), then I finally got to it, read the first chapter... and just kept reading till the end, it got me hooked, it wasn't the first vampire book I've read (Anne Rice anyone?) so I was very familiar with the topic and the various forms writers develop it, the hole girls falls for vampire stuff. The only way I can justify my liking (liking? I love it!!) for the book was that it was so beautifully written, the settings, the situations, it all felt natural. All this wonderful character felt like they could actually fit in within the boundaries of their world, it felt like if vampires were to really exist they would be just like in Meyer's world. The was no exaggerating of characters, they were very realistic, with realistic problems and feelings and reactions. The story flowed easily and you can actual feel the dept at which this story is created.
I think I'm rambling.....sorry u_u...
To spare you from my lack of literary eloquence I'll just say that even though I cannot relate to the main character and that her being so dependent of her relationship just outright upsets me...I loved the book enough to buy it.
Breaking Dawn being the last of the trilogy, will it live up to my expectations?, will it end the conflict satisfactorily?...I'm just plain scared to read it... my gosh, pregnancy.
