I can't believe I was sucked into this crap! I enjoyed the first 3 books very much, but talk about pulling the rug out!! I guess S Meyer is laughing all the way to the bank with the money poor suckers like myself spent on this pile of crap!!
 Writing as someone whose all but given up love.. December 3, 2008

I discovered this saga about a week into November, it took me about 2 days to track down a book store that sold the books.. (I live in Jamaica, the Caribbean) and they only had books 2 and 4 .. imagine how crazy I was, but I begged around til I found a few friends (far and wide) who had one or two, so I could borrow and read. I think I sat down and was done in one day, my eyes puffy and my throat sore. I laughed with Bella, I cried with Jacob and my heart ached with Edward!
As a 'struggling young writer' of many out there, this book, aside from my lifelong fascination with vampires, which to my delight, I could get into (matter of fact, screw Hollywood's version .. I want a Cullen!) the humanity (for lack of a better word) of the Cullen family is practically something you see yourself drawn to.. Growing with Bella from her first day in Forks to her last day (in the story) in that fated meadow, you don't want anything to happen to her, but at the same time you know something must happen for her! It's like fate (no longer a flimsy thread, but golden sinew) she's literally the ugly duckling, and ends up the most graceful Swan (pun intended) ever! (I think Mrs. Meyer had a reason for the last name too!)
But all in all, if you've forgotten what love felt like, or never knew what it was, you'll be just a bit more jealous of the pages of that book, the characters, the suspense, the intensity.. and just about leaves you wondering .. "what if?..."
Epic, Thrilling - Breaking Dawn December 3, 2008
0 out of 5 found this review helpful
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 December 3, 2008

too many words, too many fangs, a completely lame "battle" scene and not nearly enough of edward being "edward."
 Breaking Bad December 3, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
"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 spawn.
The birth scene is traumatic,with Edward chewing Bella's belly open.
Then,there's Jacob creepy "imprinting" on Edward and Bella's spawn.
Stephenie Meyer sacrifices the sensuality of the first novels with some bad writing when Edward and Bella finally consummate their relationship. Is Meyer trying to scare sensitive people away from sex and pregnancy? Her depictions of both are disgusting.
Bella,being the Uber-Mary Sue,becomes the Perfect Vampire. She doesn't have to learn self-control,she has the shield of "love",and she doesn't have to disconnect from her family. And now she has Jacob as her future son in-law.
The "final battle" with the Volturri is overrated. Enough said.
"Breaking Dawn" is breaking bad. It's unfilmable compared to the photogenic "Twilight." "Breaking Dawn" is horrific.
