Unneccisary.

[Delaney]

I think most of you people on here are saying stupid and unneccisary things. Yuu probably all just read other fan reviews and decided to give into pressure of the press and say you hate it too. it was a wonderful book. cut Meyer a little slack, she was under a lot of pressure to make everyone happy. try to appreciate what you did like about it.

I get what you are saying and everything, but people can have their opinions too. If someone really DID like the book, they would have mentioned such in their review. If they disliked it, vice versa. If you loved it, then write a good a review, and don't dwell on the bad ones. Simple as that. Everyone interprets books different ways, so try to keep cool if you see a review that wasn't nice. Just write one yourself that shows how much you appreciate her work, and don't get mad if not too many people really DIDN'T have anything to appreciate about it.

If people like this book, i respect their opinion. I don't come on here bashing anyone who liked the book. All i've done is stated why I, Myself didn't like. In a way you are trying to force people who don't like it to give into your pressure and say they like it when they don't. There were things i did like about the book and i stated them too. But unfortunately the bad outweight the good, IMO.

This is a review site. Would would give a text a good review dishonestly?

I think its a terrible read and personally, I would hate for others to waste money. I'm just being honest.

[Noelle]

Actually, I'm not giving into anybody and I didn't HATE the book. I didn't like the book because there was no connection to the first three.

I think it's more horrible that you're accusing other Twilight fans of being mindless and unable to thing for themselves than some people not liking the book.

And, sure, I appreciate Stephanie's work, but that certainly doesn't mean that I have to love the book. Is the only reason you love it because Stephanie Meyer wrote it? Feels like it. How does it feel to be accused like that?

I came to this site specifically to post my review. I didn't read anyone else's until after I had posted my own.

Just because I or anyone else disagree with you does not mean we are stupid.

I think it's better we are honest about how we felt rather than to lie and pretend that we liked BD just because it's apart of the Twilight series. Obviously we wouldn't have been so critical if the storyline was up to par with Meyers previous novels. I mean its not like we scare people off from writing a nice review. If you liked it then you liked it and no ones gonna hate you for it. I have to say that I did give BD a critical review but that doesn't mean I think Meyer's a bad writer, I just think she had a lot of pressure and in the midst of writing another novel, dealing with the movie, etc. she didn't have enough time to fully commit to her original style (the basic reasons why we loved twilight in the first place) and unfortunately she tried to please everyone with her ending. It was nice of her to try and do so but I think she will take this as a learning experience and in the future realize that taking a risk is much better than not taking one at all. Anywho, I know everyone feels differently on the matter but thats just how I see things.

U-N-N-E-C-E-S-S-A-R-Y.

And the idea of anyone pressuring me into to saying how much F-A-I-L this book is made of is laughable.

It's also funny you should say this, knowing how TwilightMoms and supporters had a campaign going to try and harrass an Entertainment Weekly reviewer who dared to give the book a "D".

All opinions are peachy until they disagree with your own? Nothing like the smell of fangirl hypocrisy.

[Penny]

You know, it's not like I loved this book to begin with. I wanted to love it and I totally tried to but after the complete dive it took in JUST the seventh chapter, it was easy for me to NOT like it. I am capable of thinking for myself. I have the ability to form an opinion without someone telling me what to think. No one swayed my opinion.

I can't imagine how incredibly PISSED 'twilight moms' and fangirls everywhere would be if Edward had been dismembered and burned in Breaking Dawn. I'm pretty sure those woman/girls would have ordered a hit on Stephenie Meyer and/or upped their depression meds. There would be mass book burnings all over the U.S. I know the uproar would be 20x louder/irrational then anyone is being now.

Why can't we dislike the book in peace? Why all the insults? So what, we don't like the same stupid book you people do. It's not like we are talking about the Bible here, it's a romance novel that is full of fail.

You love it, good for you. Write about it. No need to go out of your way to insult those of us that don't.

[Emma]

I am so SICK of this crap that I'm being too negative and I should go out there and be positive. Look, it's MY opinion, you don't have to read it. It's not like I read the one star reviews of The Gemma Doyle Trilogy because I want to get myself angry like you do. I think Meyer is an amazing woman to have written this book based on a dream, but I don't have to like her books. What's the point of liking a book when the author is entitled to a positive opinion?

[Kat]

Here's a thing - it just doesn't make any logical sense to say that EVERYONE who disliked the book read someone else's negative review first. I mean, this all started somewhere, right? Even if 99% of all people who disliked the book are really just following the crowd (which of course is not my opinion, but go with me on this), there had to be one person who legitimately disliked it first.

I guess if it makes you feel better to believe that we're all sheep, that's fine. But then you have to acknowledge that we probably only bought the book in the first place because everyone else was doing it, rather than because we thought it looked enticing or because we liked one or all of the first three books.

You can't have it both ways.

The world would be horribly boring if every one loved the same things and hated the same things. It makes for a richer, more interesting world. I especially like to see why some one had different thoughts/likes/dislikes/ideas than mine. For instance, I disagree with lots of G.W.'s politics, but he'd probably be a great neighbor and fun to have over for a barbecue.

Those who have difficulties accepting that some one has a different opinion or that some one who does differ is evil or mean are really closing themselves off to a lot of fun! (We sometimes see those people in cults).

[Katherine]

Toni: Thank you. It's good to know that the spelling didn't just bother me.

Delaney: I never "gave into pressure." I read the book on my own, developed my own opinions on my own, and posted my own reviews on my own. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Don't make us sound like idiots, bimbos, airheads, etc. just because we didn't like this book. I don't insult you because you did like the book. People are going to love it and people are going to hate it. It's time to grow up and realize that.

[Khadija]

Delaney: i don't mean to insult, but i would like think that we all have minds and opinions of our own, and just because u loved the book, then that doesn't mean we r entitled to love it too. everyone's got their own opinions about the book and r not "following" what everyone else is saying. and what makes it called a successful discussion is the disagreements that it includes. i think it would be quite boring if everyone agreed on the same things and didn't put up their own opinions. and i really think some people should stop feeling insulted when someone directs an unkind retort about the book, because these people are just trying to express themselves as much as u are.
