How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?

To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs.

Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating, and unfathomable, consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella's life—first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse—seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed... forever?

The astonishing, breathlessly anticipated conclusion to the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.]]> 941441 4.00 818010 133096 3 0 false Tue Sep 23 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 21 19:07:58 -0700 2008 Mon Dec 01 21:57:59 -0800 2008
images and things appreciated about breaking dawn:

1. bella as having a real girl sex drive
2. bella coming out naked for her midnight swim with edward-very bold!
3. the image of edward distributing his venom at bella's pulse points and closing the wound with his tongue-creepy!
4. bella finally becoming self-possessed, unfortunately this only for her as a vampire
5. the image of bella carrying renesmee on here back, showing that fierce love of mothers for their children and the power of her shield

things that i appreciated less:

1. the length, where was the editor?
2. still not knowing much about bella's life before forks. the emphasized histories were jacob and edward's
3. imprinting
4. the fact that jacob got part of a book- w.t.f! why not edward?
5. that we didn't get an epilogue

all that said- i will miss the comfort of these characters. i liked knowing who i was coming home to- so to speak: sexy, creepy, justice seeking vampires and the the girl who loved them.

p.s.- i loved alice most of all!
p.p.s. to stephenie meyer- where was the making love scene after all that messy adult/blathering teenager bullshit? you couldn't have shown us what you had in the way of a sex scene? ]]>
