SM MADE A TYPO! XD well her editor did anyway: on Breaking Dawn page 737 last paragraph it says
Quote:
CAIUS looked at me. "Your daughter, is she venomous?" he demanded harshly.
then on the NEXT page (73 cool the first paragraph says
Quote:
"No," I responded. Nahuel's head snapped up at ARO's question, and his teak eyes turned to bore in my face.
oh and the names Caius and Aro are not capitalized in the book I just did so to point out the difference the consistency of the names.

She didn't mean a typo in spelling error. She meant a typo as in the consistency of her character's action. Caius was the one asking the question and yet Nahuel acknowledged Aro as if he was the one to.

Yeah I didn't know what to caal this catch so I just called it a typo I guess calling it an error might have worked out as well but yeah I didn't mean spelling

There are a lot of them in there. I found a few. I forget what page it's on, but instead of "human" she puts "uman". I'll find it.

Then at the beginning of the book when Bella makes Charlie pancakes, Stephenie writes how he(charlie) finishes his cereal.

I didn't catch yours though.

I believe i've found one too. On page 562, Edward says "I couldn't let you walk away from me." And then says "It hurt just to imagine it."

Shouldn't it be It'd hurt or It hurts? I may just be using my grammar incorrectly though.

There are TONS of typos in Breaking Dawn, as well as Eclipse.

It's rather pathetic, in my opinion. For as much money as they make on the books, they can't hire someone to proofread them for rudimentary errors that untrained teenagers can find in one read-through? As if the Twilight critics don't already have enough ammunition, the books are full of errors that even kids could find.
