Breaking Dawn wasn't my favorite, but however, it held so many shocks that I didn't foresee coming. I won't spoil for those who have not read it yet. It was a bit slow moving, and Edward stands out in each book. However, I didn't really feel his presence in the book. It's like he's there, but he's not really there. You feel? Also, another part of me felt as if the book was being rushed a bit towards the ending. I expected the ending to be one that would make me say, "Finally! All ends well." It ...more

So I only like Book Two because it's from Jacob's point of view. I love his sarcasism and he is so funny. I also like how his love for Bella is sweeter and not so, well, sex-crazed. So there you go. I said it. That's why I hate Bella. She's sex-crazed, needy, weak. What happened to 'i loe having you near', Now she wants more. If she really loved him, she wouldn't have pressured him so much. She would have enjoyed whatever moments they were together, so that when they're apart, she can still live So I only like Book Two because it's from Jacob's point of view.

She would have enjoyed whatever moments they were together, so that when they're apart, she can still live life. But she's so dependent on Edward and she just wants way to much from him. Even after she turns into a vamp. And because of my hate of her and Edward, I don't like Renesmee as much as I would have. It's unfair, really, but whatever. Even then, I probably wouldn't have like her much. I've read other vampires series. At least half of them have half-vamp half-human people. So she's nothing too special. Even her powers are so-so. I hate how Bella and Edward think she's like the only one in the world. How they think she's so special. I also hate how Bella hopes Renesmee is more like Edward than herself. Edward has a horribly protcetive, posessive, serious personality. So I really hope that Renesmee doesn't end up anything like her parents. I hope she ends up better than that. What I don't like about Stephenie Meyer is that the whole happy ending thing is a little bit over used. See, if you have a happy ending, it makes the rest of the series seem like a waste of time because it ended up okay anyway. If there's an unhappy ending, you think about the books more. You wonder. It gives you more to think about. Also, what did Bella do to earn all she wanted plus more? Supposedly, all she ever wanted was Edward, but she ended up with the Cullens, Jacob, Renesmee and her father (which is dangerous) as an added bonus. Does that seem a little too happy for you? Nobody close to her get lost or dies, so she doesn't experience any pain whatsoever. I know it sounds mean, but you gotta admit when I characters gets hurt like that, you love the story more because it involves more emotion. Also, the people who do die, mean absolutely mothing to her. She really doesn't care. So I hate that. Knowing Stephenie Meyer's style, no matter how many more books she writes in this series, nothing very good will ever happen. No matter what, nobody important would die. It would be boring. That and if the characters live forever, you stop caring. Because anything in the world can happen, but nothing would ever affect the characters. It wouldn't matter if they were in the middle of a deadly battle or trapped at the bottom of the ocean because they would die anyways. I kid you not, if you like only the really good books, you will get bored with any characters that live forever and have no pain. This goes against what life is and it annoys me. Everybody feels pain at leasta few times in their life. The only pain Bella feels are the ones she causes herslef because of her selfish stupidity. ...more

After the 3rd book I was very disappointed about the author. An author ordinarily has, before he begins a book, a story in the head. So the 1st tape had also succeeded so well. But however, every book afterwards the first one looks like enforced. Af if she would sustain the success from the first book.

4. is the catastrophe for me. Nearly I would not read it to the end. The story becomes more and more absurd, the dialogues simply and without feeling or just irritatingly. And at the end suddenly t ...more
