Has anyone read this series? I put it off for a long time, feeling like I was too old, but I finally gave in. Wow! I didn't want to put them down.

Jacob vs. Edward - some folks who had read them before I did felt that Edward was too controlling. After reading, I disagree. He was from another time and tended to go by the social customs he grew up with. He also had to be extremely cautious in order not to do permanent harm to Bella.

While I loved Jacob, I thought he was actually the more controlling of the two. He tried to force his affections on Bella, and dismissed the things she said that he didn't want to hear.

I've read through all four books twice now. I wonder if she'll ever continue the story? I know she doesn't intend to, but it seems to me there is a lot more story to be told. I want to hear about Jacob and Renesmee!
