 Great ending to the series August 7, 2008

I was wondering how Meyer was going to top her previous books. Of course she did. How did she even think of that? I am 30 years old with kids and all of my "same age" friends loved this book the most. I think we could relate more to Bella as she got older and experienced more....stuff.
I would do anything for her to keep this series going. She does leave some loose ends.
Great book. Highly recommended!
"Stephenie Meyer, please do a part two to breaking dawn."
 Oh man, I want a refund August 7, 2008

Like everybody else, I'm thinking what was Stephenie Meyer doing when she was writing this. Did she break and mash up her muse cds and smoke it? I would be careful to say that muse was my inspiration to this loathesome book; she wouldn't want them to sue.
Oh well, she already got my money. But I still tell my friends to ONLY read twilight; they still don't listen.
Destroyed Twighlight (spoilers) August 7, 2008

There were several things I was looking forward to in this book. I wanted to find out who Bella choose, how she got changed by Edward, What happened with Jacob, How she separated herself from Charlie and Renee and What it was like to be a Vampire.
Stephanie Meyer totally took the choice away from Bella with the creation of Renesmee. BTW is that a stupid name or what? So many readers wanted to know how she choose between Jacob and Edward and were disappointed. I was team Edward but I didn't want Jacob's love for Bella to be completely dismissed either.
Ok... how she got changed left me very disappointed. It wasn't romantic or personal it was lame...Edward pulls out a syringe and plunges it into her barely beating heart? Carlise could have done that! What was the point in waiting? She was barely conscious! As far as being a newborn? That was a joke. One chapter and then the author fast forwards three months ahead. She could have done much more with that.
Bella as I have come to see had potential to be more than one dimensional but the opportunity to do so was never taken. She was all about Edward which was endearing at first but got to be pathetic in the second book. As far as the message it sends to teen girls? I am a teacher and I know that junior high girls understand their needs to be a balance in life. The message of being all about your guy isn't wrong it is the way that first love is.
I will admit that I liked the first part of the book before she got pregnant. After that it was all down hill as far as character development and her love for Edward, not to mention Jacob. All she could think about was the baby and she instantly became a mom. She went from being 17 to 30 in about two chapters. I felt kinda like Stephanie Meyers wishes she were Bella and she wanted to speed Bella up to the same place She is in her own life...a mom with three children.
 A little too neat but a good book August 7, 2008

It is a little too neat like many other reviews are saying. But it was the last book. Were we really thinking it would end with a giant sacrafice? Would that have made a good end? If more books were to follow I could see ending the story with some of choice and sacrafice of the others. Overall a good book. Too bad their aren't more to follow. She definately left some material on the table.
Thoroughly Engaging Novel! August 7, 2008
5 out of 11 found this review helpful
I truly loved this novel! Meyer did an amazing job of making me hate "the monster" that Bella was carrying. I was horror struck that she was keeping it. Of course, all was meant to be...and I prefer to have a happy ending as opposed to people dieing. What does it say about our society when people are upset that people are living when all is said and done? Give me a break! Enjoy this book for what all the other books in this series are: entrancing, thrilling, and passionate!
