How old should you be to read Breaking Dawn?

There was no way she could not add their honeymoon, and then let the story unfold from there. I mean Bella didn't get pregnant from nothing :)
And to be honest, I think nowadays most twelve and thirteen year olds know what is what :)
so I'm sure it was no surprise to them what went on between Edward and Bella :)
just my opinion :) I loved the books anyways.

im 13 (well...almost 14) but i didnt think that the honey moon or the 1 scene in eclipse was really that bad. idk it might just b me but i would want kids younger then 13 to read it

Cindy: when I think about it, I am sure Meyer knew and considered who her audience would be when she wrote the fourth book. I'm sure that is why she didn't really make any of the love scenes in any way explicit.

Honestly, I think the types of stuff the kids talk about in school is far worse...
I agree. What goes on in Breaking Dawn is nothing compared to what is being talked about in school today...even middle school! If the world were as it should be, I don't think anyone under the age of thirteen should read it. But nowadays...I don't really think it's anything that is unfamiliar to them. It is unfortunate, but that's the reality.

It's true... I don't really know how it happened, but people are a lot older younger nowadays.


I agree kids seem to be talking about far worse now days and i think it was done all VERY tastefully and needed to go to that level but maybe kids slightly older like 13+ would appreciate it more...im blabbing now....


Though, maybe if I waited a year I might have enjoyed it more... and died of impatience while trying to wait. I don't think I could have waited. : )

im 11 1/2, should I read it, cuz my best friend is 12 and shes reading it

And like Caroline said, at least Bella and Edward waited until they were married, right?
I think she's very good at leaving all the grit out of it (kinda sucked) lol but I'd say 13+ is A-okay. I like how she sends the message of waiting until after marriage- especially as a male doing the holding off.

i also think in general when you read any of the series you should have some level of maturity just so you can appreciate the beautiful vampires and passionate romance.

i am 11 and i read. it was AWESOME( as normal) but i still prefer the 2 one.
One year, 11 to 12, thats not much of a difference

Thats actually a compliment, not an insult, dont sweat it



We actually have a rule where books with the 14-19 sticker on, aren't allowed to go out to anyone younger than 14 without a letter from home. But to be honest i highly doubt any of those parents actually read these books before their children do (who has the time?!) so i supose you just have to hope that the person reading it takes it in the way it was intended. Rant over :)

im 13 and i read it....i was barley 13 too but i guess it really depends on the person.....all my friend (all 14 & 13) read it and were fine....but i guess you just have to be more mature.....i didnt have a problem with any "romantic scenes" because for one i was ready for it and for 2 i am mature enough to handel it.

I loved all the series don't get me wrong and I think it was fine all the way through - but when i got to the 4th book and the honeymoon (which I loved) - i thought maybe it was more aimed at the older teen market.
Just to clarify - I love the series, and am not faulting it in anyway - just curious to see what others thought.
