my two cents:
1. The pure love was gone with constant sex. Yes I realize this is young adult and have no problem with SM's choice...its just that I think it's sweeter with just a kiss or Edward singing lullabies or whispering in her ear. I'd like more of that between E and B. I think some connection was lost. Okay, I'm a Jane Austen when it comes to romance.
2. I Loooved Jacob's POV. He's witty and sarcastic; frankly Bella bores me. She whines to much, she's always been my least fav character. I felt so bad for Jake when he was in the park trying to force himself to imprint. You can really feel his pain. I didn't like him before, but he's so much cooler. He's on par with Edward now.
3. I still don't understand why everyone fell to peices when alice and jasper left. They were looking for more help; they told them so in the note. Why was everyone like ahh, we're so doomed?
4. How perfect is it that Renesmee will fully mature to the Right Age and stay that way forever? Perfectly mature (for Jake) and be immortal (for Bella)? huh? I think she should have just an extended lifespan.
5. The ending was anticlimactic and too coincidental. At the RIGHT second before Aro casts the deciding vote, Alice waltzes back with the PERFECT evidence...a half breed just like Renesmee (whom everyone is all "she's the first, the original" there's zero info on this...)? Ok, everyone, cool, break up the fight and go home. I mean sheesh.
6. I liked the wedding. I was bored with Bella changing (the descriptions were way too long). Jake imprinting didn't bug me since I knew that it was pure affection, nothing romantic yet. I wish there was more Alice. Rosalie's banter with jake was fun. Emmett amused me.
I'm not saying the book is bad, but it's not as magical as Twilight.
