She never questions going out with him, not even once that I can remember. I mean, I would probably think it over a LOT if I found out my boyfriend is a vampire. She just goes along with it, there could have been SO much more tension if she had an internal struggle with him being a vampire.<BR/><BR/>You're right - Edward totally made the book!Simone Elkeleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307922920459102582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-1158983183120811892006-09-22T20:46:00.000-07:002006-09-22T20:46:00.000-07:00Loved Twilight, mostly because of Edward.

I had my money on the daughter killing her...and the rest of the friends covering it up for her. <BR/><BR/>I Media Centered "6 Degrees" last night. I love JJ Abrams and I do hope he won't disappoint me since Alias and Lost are BY FAR my favorite shows on TV past and present.Dona Sarkar-Mishrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01777520950899454720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-1158955863242840862006-09-22T13:11:00.000-07:002006-09-22T13:11:00.000-07:00I actually got a chance to meet her.

I've never read her books, but she was great about answering questions--during and after.

New Moon was good, but the lack of Cullen action was frustrating to me, too. Don't get me wrong, I loved them both. But Twilight, to me, was incredible. I think we love Edward because of the danger and bad boy factor. Love the bad boys!<BR/>~SimoneSimone Elkeleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307922920459102582noreply@blogger.com
