I just watched Twilight and New Moon... and (without having read the books) I have to say that I don't quite get Bella's motivations. I think she's selfish and naive - she's asking Edward to cross the line he's built his entire existence around. And I don't think she actually understands what she's even asking for. Eternity can be a very long time, always being afraid of getting caught, always having to fight your basic nature.

I'm not sure this gets explained better in the books than in the movies, but so far I think *she*'s bad news for all around her, be they vampires or werewolves, not the other way around. She should really have a long talk with that blond "sister" of Edward's who was the only one who declined her request...

And I'm not so sure I like the way vampires and werewolves are portrayed so far. Werewolves who just change at will or when they get angry? There's no connection to the moon cycle? And vampires who show up on photos?

Well, I'm curious enough to see what happens next. (Or maybe I'll just spare me the wait and read the rest of the series. *g*)
