Once I really enjoyed this book and it is probably one of my favorites. I was told that it was a good scary book so I went to the store to look @ it. Once I started flipping through it I knew that I wanted to read it. All the footnotes, the dual stories, the colored fonts and crazy layouts...it was a completely different read than I am used to and I really liked that about it....more

The book is about Oscar and his brief life but there is a lot of dominican background and also a lot about his family's past. Also if your spanglish is not that good then you may have a little trouble @ some parts. All in all it was good though and I especially liked all the dorky references....more

I started watching the HBO show True Blood and after 2 episodes I realized that it was based on this book so I stopped so I could read it first. It is light and funny and if you enjoy vampire fiction I definitely recommend it. I ordered the next couple books in the series and I cannot wait til they get here so I can continue this series....more

I really enjoyed this book. It was a little difficult to get into w/ the lack of punctuation but about 1/3 of the way through I was used to it. It is I really enjoyed this book. It was a little difficult to get into w/ the lack of punctuation but about 1/3 of the way through I was used to it. It is definitely one of those books that makes you think what it would be like if that sort of thing really did happen. The descriptions were really good like that. I would recommend this to others in a second......more

I liked that Bella finally grew up and I liked her as a vampire. I thought the whole baby thing was an interesting twist that I did not expect (although I did see it coming slightly before it happened.) Also I am gald that Jacob finally does imprint on someone (even if it is Renesme.) I feel that Meyers writing picked up a little being better than the previous books and I liked that part of the story is told by Jacob's perspective.
All that being said...There were somethings that kind of annoyed me that I did not really like. I did not like the name for the baby. Good in theory but w/ those two names it just was not practical. I feel that they should have gone with Carlie as the first name and if they wanted to do Renesme for the middle name then that would have been better. I also did not like that there was not a big battle @ the end...I feel like it was kind of lacking there...I get that they did not want to fight and of course I wanted all of the Cullens to live but I was kind of expecting a fight and figured that some one would die. Either way, I am glad they all survived but I feel as though the whole situation w/ the Volterri was weak. The lack of a fight kind of left it open a little...I feel like it was not really resolved...
Anyway, as I said...I enjoyed it and would recommend it......more

The second season of the show does not follow it as well as the first one had but there are similarities. I did find myself getting a little confused when thinking back and saying "wait, did that happen in the book or the show?"...so for that reason I would not really reccommend watching the second season while reading this book......more
