For those who have never read it, it's this guy who writes for Sparknotes, Dan Bergstein, and he is reading and blogging his way through all of the Twilight books. He has a blog for each chapter, and he's through Eclipse and about to start on Breaking Dawn (soon, I hope - I keep checking!!) He's absolutely hilarious!

This is a must-read for anyone who's read Twilight or hates Twilight - even if you're a fan, you'll laugh your ass off!

No one else reads this? C'mon, Twilight fans! It's good times, I promise!

Part 2 of Breaking Dawn was posted today.

An excerpt...

Bella's use of the word "friend" is rather liberal. Angela is a friend…maybe. But that's it. The others are enemies, or acquaintances at best. And if memory serves, Bella has only hung out with Angela for three hours outside of school. According to Bella-logic, the guy who sat next to me on my flight to Nevada is my best friend. And I don't even know his name, only his odor (Peanut M&M's mixed with feet).

I wonder who else Bella considers friends.

BELLA: It will not be easy saying goodbye to Angela and Ben. I don't know how I will ever leave my dentist. And it just won't be Christmas without my dear friends, the thugs from Port Angeles. But most of all, I will miss Irene, the woman that works at Arby's who knows I like Sprite. Can you make her a vampire too, Edward? She can come with us!
EDWARD: Shut up, Lamb. I'm trying to write a lullaby about how your spit tastes good.

The two lovers kiss and talk, and kiss and talk. Out of no where, Edward says he wishes Bella was pregnant. Bella's exact response in the book is:

"Gah," I gasped.

Later in the book maybe Bella will stub her toe, and respond with:

"Argh," I arghed.

Edward feels bad that Bella must give up the option of motherhood to become a vampire and thinks that if Bella was with child now, then he wouldn't feel so guilty. By the way I'm using the term "with child" in reference to pregnancy. Being "with child" has a completely different meaning when discussing Quil.

This chapter is chocked full of baby talk. First Edward wants Bella to be knocked up. Then Bella talks about vampire babies and even has a baby dream. At the risk of being wrong, I predict that Bella will have a baby by the end of the book. Or she will at least be preggers. And that baby is going be some sort of half-vampire/half-human "chosen one" that was mentioned in some long-forgotten vampire prophecy. And he will bring peace to the vampires and the humans. And his name will be something like Claudius or Anakin or Petey.
