You know those odd people you see at big Twilight events? The freaky ones, dressed up in Twilight gear, or in costume(pale make-up, glitter, and all), jabbering on about Twilight-related things so fast you swore they were speaking another language? Well, I'm one of those odd ducks, and for those of you who are those types of fans as well, ROCK ON! I have to say, ever fellow Twilighter I have met is so uber cool, and I bet every one out there is.

So, with that aside, it's quite obvious that I was at a Midnight Madness party until the books came out. I was only there for a friend, seeing as I had attended The Host tour back at the beginnning of the year, so a copy of Breaking Dawn with a signed card was being sent to my home the next morning.

Anywho, I stole my mom's copy of the book(yes, she is most definitely a Twilight-Mom), which she had gotten that night, and went straight to work, staying up to read until 4 am the next morning, finishing the book. After going back and reading through again, I have finally got most of my thoughts down…(Oh, and these are in the order of which I thought them, so I apologize for it being all out of whack.)

So, I must say, my initial reaction to the first part(Bella's first POV)of this book was…
WHAT THE HALE?! HAS SM LOST HER EVER LOVING MIND?! WHAT IN CARLISLE'S NAME WAS SHE THINKING?!
But, after I had calmed down enough to think, figuring that the genius author had to have some reason for all of this madness. So, I continued on.
1. The first chapter we got in the Eclipse special edition, I still loved, so no damage done there, and I shall go over it a bit. I liked the whole Mercedes bit, but I was a bit dissappointed that it was never realyl brought back into the story after that first chapter…I understand the 'after' car being in it more, but it was kind of like SM forgot the car and figured we'd be okay just thinking that a huge Mercedes dissappeared into thin air…hmm…no matter, it wasn't that big of a deal, so I have no idea why I'm being so dramatic about it. Moving on!
2. I love Seth, sorry just thought I'd say that. The whole way he idolizes Edward is so dang cute. I also loved the Renee and Esme friendship, I am not too fond of Renee, while I adore Esme, but it was really cute that Renee was just in awe of Esme. Okay, I need to count how many times I said cute there…
3. Am I the only one who thinks her writing style was off, and a bit rushed? It seemed like everything whipped by SO quickly. Like, the first chapter seemed nice and drawn out, in her usual awesome style. But then it just moved so quickly! After that, it whipped right onto the Wedding day(which was nice but a bit crappy because there wasn't alot of detail, but that was fine), and then bit after bit, after bit it just jumped so fast! Ah well, next.
4. Flipping back to the Wedding, I must express my utter shock at Jacob showing up and losing it, successfully screwing up some of the reception. OH MY CARLISLE IT WAS SO PREDICTABLE! I was going to be so surprised if he didn't seriously. And it was kinda funny if you think about it, Jake was freaking out because Edward and Bella were going to have a normal wedding night…eww, he sounded like a pervert! Heh heh, joking. I guess he had some right to worry, even though if Edward DID kill Bella I'd be laughing.
5. Aside from the fact that I seem really evil and mean to Bella, the whole honeymoon to Isle Esme was really cute. I think I just loved the fact that Carlisle bought Esme a freaking Island! I really do hope that if at some point in her life, Steph decides to hit us with one more book about her Twilight characters, then she brings that back, because I loved that.
6. Okay, I'll admit the wedding night was cute too, meaning the whole feathers bit. For everyone that looked at each quote of the day on SM's site, leading up to Breaking Dawn, I wish I could have a show of hands; Who seriously thought that the feathers quote meant what it did? I was not expecting that at ALL!
7. Okay, so now to the climax of the first part of the book…wanna know where I first called that she was gonna end up pregnant? The FIRST page, the poem. COME ON, people! Who couldn't see that coming? And you know where I confirmed it? The whole Bella ate eggs for the whole week, or whatever. I put my book down, looked over at my friend and said; 'I'm calling it right now, Bella's pregnant.' So, those were my thoughts on the first half, and after my whole 'THIS CAN NEVER HAPPEN, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE, WHAT PART OF NO BODILY FLUIDS DOES SHE NOT UNDERSTAND' rant, I could think clearly and keep reading. If I don't sound like such a weirdo, I may post my thoughts on the second part. So, that is what I thought of the first part of Breaking Dawn. What did you think?
