NOTES/THOUGHTS/REACTIONS:
Pretty much this whole chapter is Bella rambling on and on about nothing in particular. In short: it's another pointless chapter. Is Meyer getting paid by the word or something? That's my only explanation for all these wasted chapters that should have been cut.
We start off with Bella being in pain and apparently surprised by the pain. Okay. Then in case we couldn't figure out Bella was in pain by her stating it, Meyer elaborates in yet another over wordy, badly puncuated paragraph that is not really a paragraph:
Reality was red, and it felt like I was being sawed in half, hit by a bus, punched by a prize fighter, trampled by bulls, and submerged in acid, all at the same time.Okay, Meyer, we get it. She's in pain. Move on please. That is also quite a collection of ways to describe pain there, I'm beginning to see where Bella gets her masochistic tendancies from.
From Breaking Dawn, Chapter 19
More flowery descriptions of pain and then obvious "look how selfless she is!" commentary and then we have lines from the last chapter. That's when you realize: Meyer is basically redoing a scene from the previous chapter in another character's point of view...just...why? Really, what on earth is the point of all of this? Never mind that Bella would probably have been too focused on pain to think this clearly.
But whatever, Meyer continues to rewrite a scene. Maybe she forgot that she had put this scene in Jacob's point of view already? I mean she doesn't edit so it wouldn't suprise me.
So this all ends up very boring and annoying because this doesn't really tell us everything we didn't learn from Jacob: scene was utterly disturbing and gross, we are supposed to love Bella for being such an utterly wonderful selfless person, she loves Edward and baby lots and lots, blah blah blah. God, get new material already! Preferably some that doesn't make me want to puke.
More of Bella being a martyr, blah, blah, more I love my baby so much (even though i call it my little nudger-Really?) and then it moves on to her changing into a vamp. Okay, this I thought would maybe be mildly interesting. Finally, Bella is going to become the bloodthirsty vamp she always wanted to be and I am kind of eager to see how the blood and hunger and all that stuff that comes with being a newborn vamp will effect her.
Well if that ever happens in this (which I doubt it will because it's Twilight, heaven forbid things be DIFFICULT for Bella) it's not in this chapter. Bella loses conciousness before the biting part (assuming there's actual biting in this psuedo-vampire book). Yet again, we get cheated because Meyer is big freaking chicken. Really, if all this stuff bothered her, WHY DID SHE WRITE A FREAKING VAMPIRE BOOK?
Bella wakes up and it's MORE rambling about nothing in particular aside from how much pain she is in. Then suddenly all the vampire senses start to kick in. Due to this, she somehow hears Edward and all the Cullens while she's unconcious...Yeah, don't get me started on how stupid this is.
Then we get one boring conversation between Alice and Edward that reveals...nothing. Meyer, FYI overheard conversations in books are supposed to reveal something. Boring pointless chapter ends with Bella opening her eyes.
WORD LIST: sanguine
GENERAL ANNOYANCES: The utter pointlessness of this chapter
