1. Were you at all surprised by how easily things went back to normal? Did you expect something different?

2. Do you think Bella is playing a dangerous game trying to be friends with a werewolf and date a vampire? Ignoring what you know about Eclipse and Breaking Dawn - how did you think this could ever be resolved? What were your hopes for these relationships at the end of the book?

3. What did you think about Jacob giving Charlie Bella's motorcycle?

4. What did you think about the difference between "bite" and "kill" and the point Jacob was making?

I think Bella left Jacob in the same emotional rut she began with in the beginning of the book.

Nah, I kind of assume that's how Forks works.

I thought it was a bit ridiculous, and actually, the whole love triangle thing made some of Eclipse hard for me to read. Edward is Bella's soulmate. He completed her, and Jacob never really fit that mold. I wanted Edward and Bella to be together and happy forever and for Jacob to disappear. Not to die, but to disappear in the meaning that he needed to move on from Bella.

3. What did you think about Jacob giving Charlie Bella's motorcycle?
I was pretty ticked. I thought it was selfish and really crappy of jacob.

4. What did you think about the difference between "bite" and "kill" and the point Jacob was making?
I'd have to reread it because I don't remember my initial reaction.

1. Were you at all surprised by how easily things went back to normal? Did you expect something different?
I wasn't really surprised. It was like the hole that Bella felt...when Edward came back, it just vanished, like it never existed.

I didn't know exactly how it would ever be resolved but I had hopes that it would. Both Edward & Jacob just needed to look at Bella to see that it was causing her pain not to have the other one in her life.

3. What did you think about Jacob giving Charlie Bella's motorcycle?
It was shady of him. If he wasn't so pig-headed and stubborn, he could have just spoken to Bella about everything. But he was angry and upset so it's partly understandable.

4. What did you think about the difference between "bite" and "kill" and the point Jacob was making?
Interesting. I don't know if he really ever thought that Bella would become a vampire or not but he should have known that she'd have already made her decision. He should have known that Edward would have never killed Bella.

I hated Jacob from then on..until his book in BD.

I figured it would, their love was to strong not too! it was natural

it must be hard, but they are both extremely important to her...I wish they could learn to co-exist but both of them loving her and she only truly loving one in the way that counts, Im sure that something not so good will happen!

3. What did you think about Jacob giving Charlie Bella's motorcycle?
crappy!! JUST crappy!! he could have found a better way to confront!! and knowing Bella and that she gets what she wants somehow, that it wouldn't keep her and Edward apart like he claimed! silly boy!

4. What did you think about the difference between "bite" and "kill" and the point Jacob was making? I knew what he meant, but I didn't know why he thought that, but her reaction was a giver! this could bring a twist if/when she does become a vampire and Jacob finds out.

1. I knew Bella would be happy to see Edward right away, so I did expect it to get back to normal pretty quickly, just maybe not that quickly.

2. I thought Jacob would be out of the picture, but I knew Bella wouldn't let himm go. I knew for sure she would be with Edward.

3. I guess it was a nice gesture.

4. I got what he meant. There is a difference between the two.

1. Were you at all surprised by how easily things went back to normal? Did you expect something different?
No, I thought it might take a little longer though, but bella missed Edward and when he came back he filled her life back with happiness.

I suppose so, but bella seems very unconcerned with whos a vampire and who's not. I think it could only be resolved in her becoming a vampire. I hoped mostly that she would pick Edward over jacob, and that the book ends on a happy note

3. What did you think about Jacob giving Charlie Bella's motorcycle?
That was stupid, Jacob is an idiot
but i thought it was kinda sweet how he did it to protect her.

4. What did you think about the difference between "bite" and "kill" and the point Jacob was making?
I think Jacob was just trying to kill the whole series. all i wanted was to imagin bella as a vampire and here comes jacob preventing it !

1. Were you at all surprised by how easily things went back to normal? Did you expect something different?
No but i was relieved i din't want a bloodbath just after they were reunited.

Yes, but since when is bella safe. That she picks one either edward orjacob, you can't eat your cake and have it so don't bother trying. I hoped that jacob would get lost and edward would win the girl. Love you edward.

3. What did you think about Jacob giving Charlie Bella's motorcycle?
I was shocked, and i found it a bit amusing.

Mmm, who's his sorce, how dead on.
