WARNING: Spoiler for those who haven't read all Twilight books

*Snip*

I couldn't agree more. She sucked ALL of the conflict out of the last book. ALL of it.

The reason for Bella not getting changed was explained.  Edward feels like he's a monster damned to hell.  He refuses to put Bella through the same thing.

As for the perfectness -- that's pretty much what I meant by MarySue.  I was just to lazy to type all of that out.

Yeah, well, my main problem is the conflict was for nothing. So I guess I agree with you, but I'm not familiar with that term.

It's mostly a fanfic term.

I agree though that a lot of the conflict was for nothing.

The reason for Bella not getting changed was explained. 

Explained? I wish. It was hand-waved away. Actually dealing with the issues that the books brought up seemed to prove too much effort. It felt like the last book really WAS fan fiction. The only reason I was able to finish reading it was because it was the last book.

The conclusion with the Vulturi sickened me. It was pathetic. Weak. Boring.
The possible conflict with turning into a blood sucking monster was the most exciting angle that the book offered and then it stole that away...

I didn't mean you! I meant her FULL name--Renesmee....THAT was lame. But Nessa reminds me of the Loch Ness Monster....

I would just quit before you dig yourself too deep there.

I'm thinking I'm already pretty deep...I probably shouldn't've mentioned the Loch Ness Monster...now she'll think I'm calling her a legendary hideous beast or something.....

I'm guessing you're thinking I should've backed away before posting that last post, right?....You're probably right...I don't listen very well. I have a feeling that's probably going to come back and bite me before too long...
