Stephenie Meyer is truly gifted. She speaks directly to my heart. I had given up on fiction - save Nicholas Sparks and JK Rowling I thought good fiction and esp. good Romantic fiction was dead. Bella and Edward ascend to new heights and you enjoy the ride for most of the book - with some major challenges along the way. Most romances string you out with the same plots and suddenly they passionately love each other in the last 12 pages and everyone lives happily ever after. (I'm selfish, I want more!). Stephenie isn't afraid to describe their happiness and their one-ness and with a style that you could read hours and hours on end - I was breathless to see what happened next. Thank you Stephenie, I can't wait for Midnight Sun and I hope Breaking Dawn becomes a movies a movie along with the first three!

too many words, too many fangs, a completely lame "battle" scene and not nearly enough of edward being "edward."

"Breaking Dawn" is the bestselling conclusion of Stephenie Meyer's vampire romance series. But is it worth it? Edward and Bella finally marry so they can do the deed (Bella wants her final human experience to be bedding Ed) At the wedding,werewolf Jacob Black warns her of what she might become. Edward has said numerous times "I'm a monster"--but Bella still wants to be a vamp.
"Breaking Dawn" has a few positive characteristics-
The descriptive writing
Some interesting premises-how would Edward,who's technically dead,be capable of fathering a child?
That a lot of it is seen from Jacob's down-to-earth perspective. He's sympathetic,but in the end he gets downright creepy.
However,the negatives outweigh the positives-
The wedding night results in Bella being terribly bruised. However,she wants more. Glorified abuse.
Bella's willingness to protect her unborn daughter at the cost of her life isn't all that pro-life. The unborn child is demon ... Read More

To be frank, I was really disturbed by Breaking Dawn. I consider myself to be an avid Twilight fan. I own all of Stephenie Meyer's books and am an obsessed teenage girl a.k.a. the typical Twilight fan. However, Breaking Dawn was dissapointing. It is not a bad book, but the story veers off in a direction I did not see coming at all. I won't spoil it but I found myself not wanting to know what happened next. I actually stopped reading in the middle and had to drag myself back.
The book is divided into three parts. The first is narrated by Bella, who seems way more mature than she did in any previous book. There are some explicit scenes between Bella and Edward that are a departure from the chaste tween appropriate scenes in previous books. Stephenie Meyer must not realize that some of her audience might not have gotten "the talk" yet and parents will need to give it after their child reads Breaking Dawn.
The middle is narrated by Jacob Black (who gets kind of annoying ... Read More

I read all four of the books in this series (I categorically refuse to call them a saga) this week. I wanted to like them - I'd heard the phrase "move over Harry Potter" on numerous occasions; I was actually excited. I have an open mind when it comes to teen lit. I don't expect Hemmingway or Hardy; I can overlook certain....holes in writing technique. But I've read Harlequin romance novels that were better written than this tripe.
I almost don't know where to start with all of the problems with this book. I sort of enjoyed the first three. As I said, I'm generous with these kinds of books. They were a bit short on plot for me to have really become a fan, and the Edward/Bella romance fell way short of believable. Ms. Meyer never actually explains why they love each other. The best we get is that Bella intrigues Edward because she smells good and he can't read her mind (!!!???!!!) and Bella loves Edward because he's BEAUTIFUL. Right. OK. I can live with that kind of shallow ... Read More
