Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4) in TWILIGHT HATERS

Jan 05, 2010 Runo rated it did not like it

Don’t get me started on how unfeminist these books are.

Every single guy in there knows ‘what’s best’ for Bella. Her dad knows what’s best for her, and that’s ok because that’s what dads do. But what about Emmett? Edward? Jacob too? What about Jacobs friends? How about his Dad?? And when Edward forbids Bella to see Jacob, that is a form of ABUSE people. Not physical, but phycological, domestic ABUSE. Not love, but ABUSE.

All the guys get the cool gifts, like reading people’s minds and influencing Don’t get me started on how unfeminist these books are.

All the guys get the cool gifts, like reading people’s minds and influencing people’s emotions. But only some of the girls get gifts, but lame ones like seeing into the future, but wait! Their gifts aren’t even reliable, and only work some of the time. Even their gifts are crippled!

Bella’s mom is portrayed as a ditz who needs to be taken care of. Great female role model out there Meyer.

Why is Esme in the books? Becuase Carisle needs a mate. That is her only function.

Why is Rosalie in there? Because she needs to represent how bitchy vampires can be.

Even Alice, arguably the strongest of the female characters, does little more than obsess over makeup and clothes.

Bella is not a portrayal of a ‘strong female character’. Left to her own devices, I think she would rather make out with Edward for eternity. That’s basically all she does besides fall down stairs left and right. What sort of good thing does she do in the books for other people? She only saves Edward in New Moon because she is an anti-feminist slut who tried to make several attempts in the books to rape poor Edward. Any other sensible girl would have let a person who trampled all over their feelings die and be glad about it. And when she does save Edward, she goes right back to him in five seconds. A girl just doesn’t let a guy who beat her up like that let him go right back to her. All she does is want to suck face with Edward for forever, but doesn’t want to marry him for no good reason? Loser.

And, not only that, In Breaking Dawn, she finnally marries Edward at only 18 years old and glorifies teen marrige, asying its the best thing and it’ll be like a basket of roses. Not only that, but she also gets pregnant with Edward and gets a mutant fetus in her only 2 weeks into her teen marrige. Again, she just loves the kid, even though it sucks her blood right out of her while she’s still pregnant, also saying its such a wonderful thing because its Edwards kid. Again, if you only had this book to go on, you’d think teen marrige and pregnancy with a half-human half-vampire fetus is a wonderful and magical thing. But it doesn’t stop there! The kid actually beats her up while its inside of her! It evidently is strong becuase its a half-vampire. So it breaks roughly 6 ribs, a hip, and-….a shoulder?? How can a fetus break its mother’s shoulder?? Its not like it propelled Bella into a wall or anything, so how could it break a shoulder? Wouldn’t her lungs get in the way? But it still doesn’t end there people! The fetus was actually supposed to chew its way out of Bella instead of traditional birth. And Bella’s happy about that. HAPPY about a MUTANT stuck inside her AND THAT’S GOING TO CHEW THROUGH HER STOMACH AND UTERUS because the kid is *gasp!* Edwards child? So she’s happy about all of this beause its Edwards child? And why does Bella like Edward so much? Becase of his beauty. Not for his musical ability, not for his artistic talent, love for her, or intelligence. Sure that adds up, but all she goes on about is his beauty.

wow this book was amazing! i didnt put it down, my mother who rarely reads, read this book and didnt put it down. Although if you enjoyed the other books in the saga you will certainly enjoy this one, even if you are on Team Edward, Team Jacob, or Team Switzerland. This is the best book in the whole series!
