 All you nay-sayers need to get bitten November 18, 2008
1 out of 6 found this review helpful
I don't care what any of the negative critics of this book say who claim to be fans. I devoured this book in less than 24 hours and turned back to page one when I was finished to start reading it again (slower this time so I could savor it rather than gulp it down).
I've read all the books in the Twilight series too(side note: I'm extremely sad about Midnight Sun - I agree with the author, I like Edward more after hearing his side) and I LOVED Breakind Dawn just as much as the others. I loved the deeper view in to Jacob's mind and life and I'm very satisfied with how things turn out for him. I'm secretly holding out hope that the saga will continue with his life as part of the main focus.
I have no problems with any of the plot twists that bother some others (who are REALLY REALLY over-analyzing). I've been waiting for Bella and Edward to finally get physical for the last coupld of books and loved the idea of them having a baby. There are those who want to complain about vampire bodily fluids and their probability -- hello!? Its a book about Vampires and shape-shifters I don't think probablility should be an issue!! Who cares how it works, the details of their sex life isn't exactly laid out for all of us and there is a lot we're left to assume, and that is just fine with me.
The last section of the book was a roller coaster that had me at various times crying with Bella, tense, hopeful, despairing and me literally giggling outloud with glee. Forget those naysayers and critics, give me a happy ending every-time. If I want reality and depressingly bad endings, I'll go turn on the news.
Amazing end to a wonderful Saga November 18, 2008

Seemingly with a good novel series, when the end is coming as a reader, one wants it to go on forever. The feelings with finishing the Twilight Saga is much the same. I despise the fact that it had to end, but since it did, this was definitely in good form.
Breaking Dawn is the fourth and final installment of the Twilight Saga, not counting the The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide said to be coming out December 2008. (I'm excited). This novel is told differently than the first three. Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse are all told from protag Isabella Swan's POV and is one whole book each, while Breaking Dawn is divided into multiple "books" and every other book moves from being as Bella's POV to another long standing character Jacob's POV. It is fascinating and amazing what it does to the story and presents all sorts of details and imagery that would not have been available simply from Bella's mind.
This is a big book, this is a good 700-something pages, getting very close to 800, but it is entirely worth the time for a read. It is amazing how well this book sucks you in until you have finished. The entire series is fabulous, in that you have not a clue what will be coming next, but that is essentially a fact in this book. As a reader, I never would have expected to what happened to occur on each following page.
Stephenie Meyer is good. She really does deserve to be a Bestselling Author with her gift of story telling. She was easily able to take a figment that has for almost all time been seen as evil and mold it into a form that is "trying". So many people have fought off this series without attempting to read it, because of a fear factor. I really encourage you to read this series. The themes are fabulous, and it is a great teen read as it was meant as well as an adult read. With love, abstinence, mercy, personal growth, friendship, devotional, and free will as constant themes through out, a reader can learn many things from the forms in which Stephenie Meyer presents a tremendously engaging story.
 Couldn't finish it. November 17, 2008

I really enjoyed reading the other books in this series, but I couldn't even finish this final book. It was not only boring, but just didn't give me anything to relate to. The previous 3 books had deeper messages that anyone could identify with. This book really had nothing. The author did want to wrap everything up with a pretty bow, which made the book quite stale. I skipped ahead a little to verify what I already knew would happen, and finally gave up. I am sad that the series had to end for me on such a negative note.
No just for teens! November 17, 2008

This book was simply one word. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
I love this series soooo much.
I am a team jacob fan and am very happy with the outcome of breaking dawn. I was excited about Jake imprinting on Nessie and how he could also still be best frwends with bella also.
I lovved how Edward and Bella got married and had a beatiful honey moon. I aslso LOVE LOVE LOVED LOVED Nessie with a deep passion.
My three favorite things about this book were A) Nessie b) Bella becomes a vampire and c)The Volturi Action
Overall I enjoyed this series and reccomend it to everyone who reads this review! (and all the other people out there that havent! boy ure in for a treat!!!!!!!!!)
