I want so badly for Cathrine to steal some of General Tinleys wealth, or burn down Northanger Abbey, or something that puts that piece of shit in his place. Of all the books we read, I believe General Tilney is certainly the biggest douche bag. Even though he is incredibly wealthy, his only concern seems to be the financial well being of the individuals he encounters. Get over yourself, bro. You can't eat money, you can't use money to heal disease, you can't repopulate with money. Yeah, having money is really awesome, but so is having sex, or making the people around you laugh, or living in a mansion/castle. If I was Catherine, I would have taken the most expensive item in the Abbey and beat the General senseless with it.

Voluptous. Stoker definitely didn't use that word to describe Lucy and Mina enough (that was sarcasm). I've liked getting to watch the attempt to steal these young ladies' purity during the second half of the novel by Dracula. To have two similar young women who are proper and pure seems so interesting when remembering that the story involves an ancient vampire. I don't know if I'm just weird, but I think that Dracula should have been the one that takes Lucy away from the suitors and has her to himself. Bi-creatural sex. Ooh la la.

I am sort of disappointed in Jacob for leaving the pack. I feel that no one experiences that much betrayl and decides to return to the rescue just because they are infatuated with someone. Though it was cool that Jacob was so loyal (I guess), I would have loved to see a vampire vs werewolf showdown during a grueling vampire/human/potential-monster birth. Not everyday a monster is born, why not start a war as well. But instead he came to the rescue like a good friend, which is great and all but what about the jealousy that Jacob has to be feeling that the girl he is in love with is having a monster child that is against nature with the only guy that Jacob pretty much hates. If stories could be added up in a calculator, pressing the equal button wouldn't result in ?Jacob come to Bella's rescue?
