Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I should say first that this review contains spoilers! SCROLL DOWN TO READ ... I'd like to ask Stephenie Meyer what she was thinking about when she wrote this. So much of it disturbed me. Truthfully I wasn't expecting too much as these books have always been of the 'check your brain in at the door' type but this took that to a whole new level. Bella gives birth to a mutant child that breaks her spine? Edward has to EAT it out of her? Is this Twilight or Rosemary's Baby? Then Jacob IMPRINTS on this newborn child? The implications of that alone is disturbing enough that I almost put it down. The scene with Quil and Claire did nothing to make this whole imprinting less creepy. In fact it made it more so. Perhaps in the hands of a more skilled writer this could have opened up some very interesting psychological and sociological themes but Meyers does not really address any of that. In fact I found it disturbing in Eclipse when Jacob describes the imprinting process to Bella and Bella asks what if Claire rejects Quil upon becoming of age. Jacob dismisses this with a simple question: "Why would she do that?" (Paraphrased, I don't recall his exact words) The idea of the child's free will is NEVER ADDRESSED AGAIN. Until, Reneseme aka Nessie, a baby only a few days old starts referring to Jacob as 'her Jacob'. I ... guess we're supposed to believe a newborn is capable of making such a decision? After tearing her mother's uterus apart and such at that. I kept hoping it would get better, that there would be SOME redeeming value to all of this. There wasn't. The next JK Rowling? I think not.
