5+ stars - Vampire Romance/Young Adult

A lot of Twilight series fans were disappointed with Breaking Dawn, but I liked it. I actually had more appreciation for it on the second reading. It would have been impossible to wrap up the series in a way that would appease everyone. I was sad for the series to end and would definitely love at least one more book. (Ms. Meyers, pleeease finish and publish Midnight Sun!) Breaking Dawn might not be a perfect conclusion to the series, but I'm not sure that th ...more

I liked the first three...this one, was a dissapointment.

Bella. I've told you how much Bella annoys me...haven't I? Well that annoyment(Is that a word??) grew like five times during this book.
She begs/forces Edward to have sex with her while she still is human no less...and ends up the first woman to ever bear a vampire/human child that lives? I mean...only Bella can end up in that situation.And then she wan'ts to name the kid Edward or...Renesme? What? Yeah, go ahead and pick a name Fourth Book.

I mean...only Bella can end up in that situation.And then she wan'ts to name the kid Edward or...Renesme? What? Yeah, go ahead and pick a name that noone will be able to pronounce, leave it to Bella to come up with one of the weirdest names in the history of time.
And then there's the fact that she continues to hurt Jacob and Edward. The girl is rather selfish and annoying isn't she?

Edward. I like Edward. He is one of the coolest vampires ever. But really...does he have to blaim himself for everything? He is cold and angry through alot of the books really...please. Noone can be that selfless. And yet we twilighters love him...
Haha..and the fact that he is such an amazing musucian and stuff...is because while he studied everyone else was having sex? That part was just hilarious...

Jacob. Okay this whole "I am going to die without Bella" thing is really stupid. Can't he see that she really isn't that great at all? And the imprinting...oh my god. That one...I never saw coming. That was rather disturbing actually. You fall for the baby girl that is the daughter of the girl that you used to be in love with. And the father of said baby girl is the vampire that stole the supposed "love of your life" from you? Can you get more complicated?
Of course you can! The baby girl is half vampire half human with super powers(just like mommy and daddy, how sweet)-how strange...because isn't vampires and werewolfs supposed to be enemies til death or something? Hmmm..oh well I'm sure it'll work out. The demon-child is one of a kind and charms everyone so...

And lets not forget the fact that Bella managed to get pregnant at all! Have we not been told that theese vampires don't have ANY human-fluids...what-so-ever...then how can Bella be pregnant??? It doesnt really make sense at all...

And finally. Bella becomes a vampire. Expected. But a super Vampire? Please, why must you torture me so? She practically skips being a new born (and I, like Emmett, was so looking forward to that part) and has theese super vampire powers...or something. The Volturi gets defeeted and everyone lives happily ever after. They dont even fight the bloody Volturi...they just...talk...what a dissapointment.

I am a sucker for happy endings. But this one, was dissapointing. ...more

Well, I think I liked this book least of the series. It more or less wrapped up the vampire series at least for the Bella and Edward story. But it did it in a clean and fan-satisfying way. The characters got a bit flat, since much of the focus was on the events more than building their relationships. And the big thing was the marriage and consummation of the marriage. It was like an 80s drama, show them together and cut to the next morning. I know there's been an uproar, but I don't think she co ...more

definetly had a plot twist in there that I did not see happening and had to put down the book because I was unsure if I liked it or hated it- don't worry- it all makes sense in the end! ...more
