Bree & Fred

Bree really is an interesting character in ECLIPSE.  While I didn't wonder about her and who she was or what her life was like, once I saw (a few years ago) that Stephenie had written Bree's story, I found that I wanted to know more about this wild newborn who'd come to kill Bella.  And I wasn't disappointed.  Of course, I wish Bree had made better choices, but that isn't who she was.  It's so tragic that Bree finally finds someone to love in the vampire world only to have him ripped, literally, from her the very next day.  I like that she had a relationship with Diego.  It's sad that it didn't last but a day, but it's still adorable. 

My favorite character in Bree's story, though, is Fred.  I love Fred.  His special ability is so strange, it's fantastic.  And the fact that he's smart enough to duck out rather than follow Riley blindly is fantastic.  The disappointing part is that he doesn't show up again.  I wish they'd found him and brought him in for BREAKING DAWN.  He would have made a wonderful asset in the "fight" against the Volturi.  Not to mention what a great character he is and that I'd love to see more of him! 

I wouldn't mind if Stephenie decided to write HIS story, too!!!!
