    The JACOB part was kind of boring and hard to follow, but I really enjoyed this particular Twilight novel. Can't wait for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 to come out!

    I literally read this book in less than two days while still going to work. It was a perfect way to end the series. It answered all our questions and still made Bella's life happy without any regrets. Would have love to see Edward's view of things during this novel

    Best Book, EVER!!!!

    LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!! This book is just the right balance between romance and action. I loved how there was happiness and then after the happiness, there was failures, disappointments, losses and fear. Some characters that might be fading from your memory that were a big part of the story come back, like come re-introduced into the story, which I admire form Stephanie Myer. She writes the story as if you are in it, with lots of details. Most of the time, I felt like I was in the room with all of the characters. Like I was experiencing all of the emotions. I agreed with some of the decisions made by the characters, some, not so much. I was the one that introduced my mom to this fantastic series. I really liked this book!!!!!!!

    Amazing and creative

    I have to say the twilight saga was amazing. Bella is someone i am sure many can relate to. She is not very pretty, she is not athletic, and she does not have the best of luck. Then theres Edward. He is basically perfect. Maybe everyones dream guy. The story that Stephanie Meyer wrote is about how Bella, a normal everyday girl, falls in love with the perfect and amazingly attractive Edward.Some would say that Stephanie Meyer did not use logic in her vampire fantasy book. It is true. She did not use any traditional vampire stereo-type stuff about coffins and crosses or turning to ashes in the sun. She got this idea through a DREAM. Her dream was specifically the meadow scene where Edward and Bella lie down next to eachother and Edward sparkles. To me, it does not matter that Stephanie broke the vampire code or whatever. She used her creative imagination to write a beautiful story about a forbbiden love between a vampire and human. Well, personally i think the Twilight saga is a real page turner. I stayed up 7 nights in a row just to read and re-read the saga.

    Waste of shelf space

    I wouldn't go as far to say that any of the first few books were terrible. The first book is something of a guilty pleasure for me - sure, it doesn't have the greatest plot or the greatest characters, but it was cute enough in its own way that I enjoyed it.

    Then, it was all downhill from there, and just when I thought you couldn't get any lower than Eclipse, BAM, we get Breaking Dawn.

    To put it bluntly, I've read better fanfiction. Better, more BELIEVABLE fanfiction. I felt like I was being treated like an idiot the whole time. Either Ms. Meyer thought we were stupid, or she has a deep hatred for logic. The actions of the characters simply do not make sense, and only serve to create stupid, shallow melodrama. And it's just pages and pages of characters making ridiculous choices, which yield NO CONSEQUENCES. In the end, everything is happy-sugar-rainbows. You just don't feel that the characters - especially Bella - should receive their happy ending. The book is so predictable that you KNOW that there's going to be a happy ending, so you never feel as if the characters are in any real danger.

    Look, maybe Ms. Meyer was trying to go for the "Romeo and Juliet" feel. The play's certainly referenced enough in the series. But Shakespeare's play represented the tragedy that comes with making foolish mistakes. In Breaking Dawn, the characters constantly make foolish mistake after foolish mistake, but through plot convenience and the "power of love" (UGHHH, gag me), every character gets their happy ending.

    This is one happy ending we can all do without.

    I agree!!!! Honestly, I have lost all respect for this series-what with the downfall of this book and the movies. If you look closely, she can't even really write. She just throws in a whole bunch of fancy words.

    To me Stephenie has out done hereself with this book. I found it to be a great read. How ever I did find this book a little more darker and rivelting then the first three books. I loved how it all comes to an end and every thing gets reveled, and also out of all three books I found the first book to be the best. This saga is the first of it's kind that I have read from start to finish, and now can understand what book lovers mean when they say that they loved a sreies, or read a book that inspired them. Thanks to Stephenie for writting this serise, it has opened me to a who new world of inamigntion. Thank you Stephenie for writting this saga, it has made me a better reader, and it also has made me want to read more. I found this saga Absolutely awsome, and as far as I am concerned, it is the best set of books that I have read up to date.

    A Horrific Disappointment

    This review is from: Breaking Dawn (Trade Paperback)

    Corey Pretty

    2 years ago

    Just like the rest of the world, I was completely captivated by the first three Twilight books. Sure, I recognized that the plots could use a little fine tuning, (they all start out a bit slow), and that they didn't comprise of the best writing ever, but they were charming and contained love-able characters, nonetheless.
    So of course, I waited impatiently for months for the final installment, ready for the sure-to-be thrilling end to an epic love saga. But no. It was not to be.

    I was mortified at the plot of Breaking Dawn. I had read fanfiction much better than this, and had read a fic months before with pretty well the same plot. (and in fact was convinced that it must be some kind of fanfiction joke) The baby was just a pathetic plot device to give Jacob something to imprint on, so as to keep Jacob fans placated. The birth scene was both gruesome and the only real bit of discriptive writing there is in the novel.

    Bella's whole transformation was awful, as well. Even though, throughout all the other books, Bella had heard many warnings about vampires andthe struggles to maintain control - Jasper was still struggling - little Bella is perfect from the get-go.In fact, she become totally unrelatable due to her perfections. She's so perfect, that she seems to be the only one who believes that Alice had not abandoned them. (A feat which, if the characters had read any of the other books, they would've realized was not something Alice would ever do. - way to know your characters, Ms.Meyer - not.)

    Lastly, the book itself is slowpaced and tedious, far from the epic adventure I was hoping for. The only bit of "action" in the story is the search for other vampires in the world that will help the Cullens battle the volturi in the final "climatic" battle - if you can call it that. I turns out, there was no need for all those vamps, because perfect little Bella suddenly has a magical forcefield that protects them all from harm, scaring the volturi away. The end.

    So, just to re-iterate, if you liked the Twilight books because they were exciting and full of love and angst, and not just because everyone in the WORLD suddenly likes them, I'd forego this last book if I were you. It will ruin your whole perception of the series. Trust me, you'll want to pretend it ended happily and open-ended with Eclipse.

    I loved the first book in this series, and I liked the second, but was rolling my eyes through the entire reading of the last. Unfortunately, it was, for me, all downhill after the first book, but the third was truly the worst. Granted, if you buy into the premise at the centre of this story, which I won't reveal for those who still want to read it, then I guess it can be an okay story. Personally, I didn't buy it at all, and my only motivation to keep reading was to be able to say that I got through it.
    I may not be in the target age group for this novel,but I would not recommend this book at all. Sorry, but there are so many more interesting works of fiction out there that this one does not merit the hype it is getting.

    There are only 2 words to describe this book. Absolutely Amazing! The first time I read this book was the happiest day of my life. Some of you people might think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not. In my opinion this series is the best series that I have ever read! This book is the best out of all of them. There is happiness, sadness, exiting parts, weird parts , and so much more. It was inspiring. I started writing my own book but it doesn't compare to this master piece. The first part is on Bella's perspective. The second part is on Jacob's perspective. The last part is on Bella's perspective again. Don't listen to just the bad reviews or just the good ones. Read it. Take it with your own perspective. When I was reading this, I felt like I as Jacob or Bella. This book is very different from the other books. True, Bella gets everything she wants and more but she and the Cullens get a very bad surprise that forced them to rely on their friends and the wolves. Only one word is needed to explain that bad surprise "Volturi". Yup, them again. But how they resolve it is extraordinary. Bella figures out she has a special power too. There are also very inspiring parts in the book (mostly at the end). Now I leave you with a line from the book. "I came to witness, I stay to fight."

    i thought breaking dawn was amazing, the wedding was spectacular, the honeymoon was full of surprises, and then it was so suspenseful when you didn't know if bella would live or die and if the baby would be a monster or not. when renesmee was born it was so perfect, untill renesmee was mistaken as an imortal child and the vutouri then threatened not only renesmee's existance but the cullen's and their witnesses as well. then when they thought all was lost alice and jasper reterned to save them all, it was the best ending ever. in my opinion the twilight saga is second only to percy jackson and the olympians and i loved it!

    The books 1-3 are okey, but I did not finish breaking dawn because it was just a waste of time. After Bella gets her baby, nothing happens at all. Everything is just sooooo perfect, its
    so lame!! Actually the whole story of the saga is just sooo pretictable. And all this cheeziness is just absolutly annoying, sometimes I just could not stand it. Stephanie was repeating herself over and over again, over 4 books. It was driving me crazy.

    There was no climax!...Meyer sets up the scene quite nicely and then lets it sort of hang there. Definitely the weakest book in the series, this book is full of laughable sequences that detract from the tone and take us in a different direction than the other books. I have many issues with the Twilight saga but with the first 3 there was something drawing me back to finish, with BD, that pull was just not there

    I really liked this book and I loved all the books from the Twilight Saga. This book is full of action, always intriging and filled with suprises. We see throughout the book the friendship Bella has developed with Edward's family and how her relationship with Edward has really grown. I think it's the best book out of the four books from the saga. It leaves you hanging on your chair until the last page!

    It could have been condensed a bit more. I find the character's very appealing, but she rambles on a little too much at times. I enjoyed Bella's character the more you read. In twilight, I found her character very juvenile and annoying, then as you read through the other books, she becomes more mature and intriguing and so very like-able (especially as a vampire). Jacob is extremely annoying, I liked him better before he became a wolf. In real life, I'd kick them both to the curb, too much hovering.

    I'm kind of dissapointed. I didnt know what to expect but...what happened was nothing i was ready for. I loved the twilight series and once i read breaking dawn, i didnt like it as much. I think stephanie could of done better, but then again what else could she of written it bout? Maybe i was expecting too much, becuase eclipse was just soo good. But i realized, new moon and breaking dawn were dissapointments becuase i expected so much out of them, becuase twilight was soo good, and eclipse was just a bang of excitment.

    The Perfect Ending !

    Stephanie Meyers is a brilliant author, she knows exactly how to keep readers on their toes and she knows how to give them just what they want to hear. it is no wonder that so many teens seem to be under some sort of spell after reading these books. I liked the whole twilight Saga but i feel like this was the best one of all, she ended it on such a good note, she tied up all loose ends and gave the readers a sense of release, i find that during a good saga it is hard to finish the last book because you know that there wont be another. however i think that Meyer did an excellent job at making it so i didnt feel like that, for me, the story came to close and made it easier for me to set it down and walk away feeling happy, i hope to see another series by Meyers in the future.
