Apparently the fourth book features such delights as :
********* SPOILERS INCOMING! ********
********* SPOILERS - REALLY ! ********
1. Bella giving birth to Edward's kid.
2. Except he has to give her a C-section. Using, you know, his fangs.
3. Oh yeah. Don't forget that the baby breaks Bella's spine during the birth.
4. Should have mentioned that the baby has some weird super-aging process going on which makes it grow older more quickly.
5. Which, thankfully, makes it ok for Edward to be in love with it. That's right - not love it, but
be in love with it.
6. Yeah.
Stephanie Myers is one messed up lady. Her self-insertion in the books is hardly a first in literature (she
is Bella) but it really does show up her bizarre outlook on life and many, many reviews have linked this to her Mormon upbringing. More worrying to me is the example she's setting up for younger, impressionable women : hey, it's ok to be in love with someone who breaks into your house, watches you sleep, has total control over you, and has you knocked up by the ripe old age of 18 because ... um ... nevermind the reasoning, it just is!
Her writing is like reading poor Anne Rice fanfiction. There is no plot to speak of, the messages the book conveys are completely outdated and the characters are vapid, uninspired and uninspiring.
I could go on but I'll only get myself worked up into some crazy nerd rage
