I’m a huge fan of the Bella emails to Alice. Holy crow, can you imagine Edward when/if he finds them? Seriously – wow. Forgot to say how much I liked that aspect in the movie. I don’t remember it being a part of the books but I could be wrong.

Oh yeah, our resident 12 year olds were whining about how “they changed, like, so much from the book!” and then gave a list of everything that DID NOT happen in the book.

And my friend and I really liked that scene where the werewolf boys are walking away from Bella into the woods: Jacob has so much muscle that his jeans cannot contain it all… very nice view!

Yes it’s different. There’s enough difference to change how things can play out.

For one – Bella actually tells Jake she loves him which doesn’t happen until book 3 and at the end of it because as Jake tells Edward “she doesn’t know.”

You could argue that the words meant “I love you… but I’m not in love with you.” That could undo the damage and let them rework it for movie three.

That would be in my opinion the biggest change in the book.

After New Moon, who do you think the fans will be rooting for, Edward or Jacob?

I also heard the ending was changed from the book.

I can’t decide if I enjoyed Alice’s vision of Bella as a vampire at the end. It’s the scene where Edward and Bella are dressed old fashioned, say in 1908 fashion, and as Bella runs a shaft of sunlight hits her and makes her face sparkle. I think Edward looked okay but Bella looked more like Kristen in a period costume and less like the character.
