But this is physically impossible, so what's the point for her to wish that :-)? He can't turn back human, the poor boy can't even die properly, even when he wants to ;-(. But I agree with you about Bella becoming a vampire, and I must say that after she was not human anymore I lost all interest in the book :-). I think that the writer also understands that it's all wrong, that's why she invented other (and more important) reasons for her heroine to become a vampire, except for her desire to be with her love (who doesn't want to change her either).

No, I don't see Meyer's vampires as monsters at all (I mean the Cullens, of course, not the evil vampires, LOL), especially someone like Carlisle, who didn't kill one single human in his very long life. I think someone who devoted his life to serving humans instead of killing them and feeding off them doesn't deserve to be called a monster :-). Some human serial killer is a thousand times more of a monster, IMO. However, I agree with you that it's creepy to wish to become one of them, that's why the last book felt for me like some kind of a not very good horror movie :-).

You didn't miss much, I guess :-). They (2 and 3) kind of drag on and on, with just a little action in the very end :-).
