I like the book, but i didn't like the book.
it was too dry at the beginning and it make me put it down. and the whole pregnancy thing...i think was a desperate attempt in keeping the story going. she could have ended it with Eclipse, but, No....she had to make another.
edward didn't seem like edward and Bella being a vampire didn't seem like Bella. She lose all of the charactics that people like about her.
and i can see the whole imprinting business between Rensemee and Jacob. i may not like it but i can see why.
I could have lived with the pregnancy.
I could have lived with Jacob imprinting on Renesmee.
I could have lived with Bella having no personality whatsoever.
I could have even lived with the whole "happy ending" thing.
However, there is no way that I am going to give this book my blessing after the way Stephenie mauled my precious Volturi. I mean, what the hell was up with Renata? If she's going to show that much fear in the face of danger, she should be ripped apart and burnt! And the wives? What was the point of them if they were only going to stand there in silence?
Also, I would be so much better for Aro then that Sulpicia person.
Hm, it wasnt bad but it was a little bit of a downer on the rest of the books.
I mean, fair enough, they lived happily ever after, yadda yadda. But all that happened was just something that I think should have been left for the readers imagination - it was kind of unatural in a way, without me sounding completely stupid.
I think she coped too well, also. That annoys me, when they dont even stuggle!
I loved it!
It's a nice endding to the Twilight saga. Seeing Bella as a vampire was awsome and she had a cool power. I liked how Jake told his point of view for some of the story. Jake's chapter titles were so funny! I thought that the excelerated vamperic pregnancy was sort of creepy in a way. I like Emmet more in this book, but I still don't really like Rosilie all that much, but I will say that she has her moments.
I thought the endding was a little too easy with the other halfling showing up with Alice and Jasper at the last minute possible.
But over all...I loved it!!
Point one, most of us cannot hate anything that has Edward Cullen in it.
So, BD was something I liked for most bits, and found weird at the eeww bits.
Might I add that there were a tad too many co-incidences? Like, Alice actually finding someone like Reenesme and her perfect entrance and Aro being so oddly calm at all times? (Well, Aro makes a nice and unique character though).
Also, as already pointed out, the Happy Ending was too happy? A saturated kind of Happiness for a book where much emotions are expected? no important deaths at all? *sulks*
I mean, was there any need at all to put Charlie and Sue together? No.
Why didn't Jacob die? Then, he could have a sympathetic ending and I wouldn't hate him so much.
Also, the whole deal bout Reenesme talking was annoying. Don't you think she's too understanding and mentally mature for her age? I did not like that kid. At. All.
And one more thing, I do not agree that the books aren't literature.
Well, it isn't super excellent literature, but it is very contemporary.
I love Meyer's narration. It's modern, quick, different and ... very hip. The dialogues and Edward-Bella conversations are always breath-taking.
Oh, and the last line was a masterpiece. Wouldn't you agree?
I thought breaking dawn was really good, but I liked eclipse the most of all. That's when it started to get really good. I guess I'm just a complete hopeless romantic but I liked the whole, love throughout the whole series kinda thing.
eh thank god i began reading them when BD was out, so i just read them all one after the other. The whole time though i would've liked it if Bella fell in love with Jacob and then Edward had to win her back. hmph they're just TOO deeply in love its sickening.
the sex scenes were interesting... poor pillows and headboard. Then again the pregnancy was horrible, but of course she had to get pregnant. and then the name was horrible. urgh.
i loved the books, but parts were just too fairytale deep-in-love-cant-live-without-you vomit-inducing for me. urgggh. on the all i loved the general plot and Edward I HOPE is a good character in the movie. i'd hate for the movie to destroy the book.
I don't care what ya'll think but I loved the whole book. I LOVED IT!!! The best book ever. I thought the pregnency think was great, I didn't see it coming at all. BREAKING DAWN IS THE BEST BOOK EVR!!
The Book Reviews forum is more for critical reviews of books people have read. For discussing this book in particular, you might consider joining the Twilight group, Alice Cullen Knows Your Next Move, in the groups section
I'm like super peeved over her putting Midnight Sun on hold. >.<
Granite having it leaked must be hard but when your that famous, it happens. Grow a spine, move on.
She was entirely too dramatic about it!
I was seriously disappointed in the Volturi. I was counting on Aro and Caius to be MUCH more badass. The tension was mounting through out the book, with Bella having a freak-of-nature child and turning into a vamp, and then it all just died and the whole problem with the Volturi was resolved violence free. Talk about anti-climatic!
I do want to know more about these children of the moon though... Yay for werewolves!
The book was so different from what I was expecting I don't know if it was good or bad.
**reads through posts**
... 0_0 ...
i love spoilers ^^ (im only on book 2)
I think she butchered a lot of characters!
Exactly! I felt like his character changed completely, and the chemistry wasn't the same between him and Bella. It seemed like he was married to a totally different person, which took away all the fun.
I agree with mostly everyone at this point, but I don't think I was in LOVE with the book. I just felt like a lot of things didn't make sense. Stephenie had her mind set on BD for a long time, but she fluffled things out with the other two books, New Moon and Eclipse. But when she saw how things changed when she those two books, she should have reworked BD, cause it just didnt fit anymore. That's the thing about writing , you can have you mind set on an ending but sometimes the story changes. The characters give you new things, and I think Stephenie should had the guts to make things different.
I mean she ould have been somewhere in an interview laughing right now, "I really had to change things from my orginal idea for the fourth book. Just imagine I was going to make Bella pregnant! But I'm glad I didn't I think the fans would have hated that, I'm happy that I worked with the story and made things more realistic."
But nope....she REALLY did do that. What is wrong with her?
Although I think as a writer I can learn from her stupid mistake.
I really liked Breaking Dawn, mostly because I hate Bella and thought it was hilarious that her future daughter was kind of just using her body.
I guess the whole thing Stella pointed out just made sense to me because of that one Lois Duncan book, The Third Eye, in which something similar happens. (Except that happens to a psychic...)
Actually, some way into the third part, I started laughing hysterically. My sister - who refuses to read it because of spoilers - looked at me strangely. I told her, "You know what? Twilight was never about Bella. Never. It was about Jacob."
And then I couldn't stop laughing.
I think a lot of my opinions came about, though, because I wanted Jacob and Bella to end up together, so I didn't take Breaking Dawn seriously since I knew she was going to end up with Edward.
Sigh.
Where do I even begin? I definitely ended up liking Twilight and New Moon the best. Eclipse was good but the end left me feeling a little...weird. I thought it must just be because I hadn't read the fourth one, but I think that somehow this just must have been a foreshadowing of the fourth one. Because that's the only word I can find to describe it, even ten days later: weird.
Pregnancy? Totally unexpected and key word, weird.
Jacob's section? At first I was afraid it might be weird or it just might be him the same way he was at the end of Eclipse. But I was actually really grateful for this section after I read it, because I wouldn't have wanted to read any of it from Bella's perspective. She was being so frustrating to me, not because she wouldn't give up the baby, but because she was letting Edward and Jacob too just slowly die inside.
Other characters? I loved the vampires from around the world, and I loved that the rest of the Cullens got fairly large rolls. And that we got to see so much in the pack, especially with Seth and Leah (who appears to just disappear at the end...?).
Volturi? Oh my goodness. Totally anti-climatic. Everyone was all geared up for this fight and then they just put it to a vote?
Edward? What happened? He just didn't even seem like Edward to me anymore, most of the time.
Jacob imprinting? Weirdness. I mean think in the future. Having kissed both the mom and the daughter? Or Bella watching her daughter fall in love with a guy she was in love with? Or Edward watching his daughter fall in love with the guy that almost stole his wife away? So_weird.
Yeah, so probably my least favorite book of the series. I didn't absolutely hate it, but I might end up skipping this one if i re-read the series. It's just so *weird* and everything goes better than planned for everybody.
She put HER wants before her character's, their goals and personalities took a back seat to her need to have Bella have kids.
Although why she gave Bella kids and not rose is beyond me.
Haha, you devil you. That's fairly accurate though. That sums up BD: freaked me out!
I've been ranting a lot about this book, but I feel like I wasted my time with the series now, even though I read them for entertainment. The characters were amusing and cute. Because in the end, I wasn't entertained. I was mortified! Running for the hills!
To what Stella said... it was ridiculous what happened to Jacob. You know what it did? Completely voided out his character. It made him completely useless to the series. You know what - you could completely pry him out of the series, and you'd still have a storyline. Of course, New Moon would be gone, and Eclipse a lot shorter, but it would still be a story. And I don't believe you should be able to do that with a main character. Jacob, ideally, should be so integral to the storyline that it can't exist without him.
But, the disorganized, unplanned way she wrote it led Jacob to this whole pointless thing in the end. I love Jacob! Now, Jacob is useless. I'm an Edward fan, but I'm still ashamed.
Oh, and yeah... bye-bye Edward's personality once Bella became a vampire.
I know, the thing is that everybody does compare the two. At the beginning of Half-Blood Prince, where Snape turns evil, I thought that Rowling had messed up. But it worked for her. Whereas, as the last book in the series, there's no chance that Meyer can use this "mistake" to her advantage.
It seemed to have no real plan to it. I mean, suddenly she can have children? Oh, and Jacob falls in love with her daughter so that way everyone wins. Except of course, for the vampires the Volturi are going to kill for their part in this and Leah who has to live with her misery forever and the people that the vampires killed.
Had I been Sam, I would have sent all those vampires packing. And he would have done, if Meyer had followed her original ideas. But she didn't. She strayed completely. I may not have liked these books very much from the outset (okay, I did semi-enjoy Twilight but after that...), but it was at the end of Eclipse I started thinking "She has no idea what she's doing."
I mean, if the werewolves suddenly weren't werewolves after all, why do they hate the vampires? My question's the same as Clo's.
Also, in Eclipse, Bella said she was in love with Jacob, and then she isn't anymore? What?
It was all very messy, to add to my list of complaints. Inconsistent.
Aww man... finally someone to speak to about the books.
I'm not gonna read all the previous posts, so forgive me if I repeat something.
OVERALL
I didn't mind it. It was the worst book in the series in my opinion, but it was okay. I feel the problem wasn't really the content, just how she wrote it. Everything was too sudden and so weird. Jacob's part of the book was a smart move, although it still wasn't really good.
BD was really surprising and was just one big roller coaster.
MY WAY
If it were me, I wouldn't have the wedding and the pregnancy until the end. And then left it after Bella gives birth or something. That way, the reader can come up with their own conclusion that satisfies them. But that's just me... I'm a fan of cliff-hangers.
CHARACTERS
I liked how at the beginning they seemed to be more comfortable around each other. And Jacob's been my favorite character since New Moon. It annoyed me a little that he imprinted on someone.
Also, Edward seemed different. In Book 1 and 2 there were certain parts where he was Edward. Like the 'Burning Man', wanting to sing to Bella so the nightmares would go away, being reluctant to have sex with her again because she was bruised the first time. But then after Bella becomes a vamp, he changes.
And Bella still annoys me.
I like the idea behind Renesmee's name, but the name... not so much. She should have stuck with Carlie.
PREFERENCE- ordered from most favorite to least favorite
Eclipse
Twilight
New Moon
Breaking Dawn
So BD gets a B- grade from moi.
EDIT: I guess BD won your "Freak Me Out' contest, ey clograbby?
Yes, I agree. Nothing was planned out, which makes the series read in this very disjointed sort of way. Like, I hate to bring up Harry Potter in comparison because everyone does, but it at least felt like JK had planned out her world, and so the world was a consistent experience as we read.
These books were all over the place. And yes - I always figured vampires naturally hated werewolves. So. What the deal with the hatred?
I absolutely hated that. She didn't build this book up all too well. It seemed completely random to me. And, didn't Edward and the rest of the Cullens call them werewolves for the entire series up till the end?
Ahh, that shapeshifter thing was so dumb!
BELLA: They're not werewolves?! They're shapeshifters?!
EDWARD: Yes. I've known this for 20,000 pages but didn't think it was important enough to bring up. No, this is not a sudden idea Meyer had while enjoying her cocoa puffs halfway through writing the last book.
I liked it. A lot actually, but it wasn't what I expected. I thought the Volturi would come after them because they found out Bella was still human. Anyway, the pregnancy thing was definitely weird. Especially, Nessie's fast development. That kind of reminded me of Mistaya from Terry Brooks' Magic Kingdom of Landover series. She's half human, half wood nymph. She grows at an accelerated rate to the point that she looks ten when she's actually two. She's got that super intelligence too. I don't know, I just thought that was interesting. Maybe accelerated growth and intelligence is something authors like to stick on their half-breed characters. I thought the book moved a lot faster than Eclipse did. I was utterly bored half-way through Eclipse, but was then pleased with the battle at the end. Which was why I was disappointed that there was no battle at the end of Breaking Dawn. I mean, what the heck? They just talk things over and that's it? No epic battle and everyone survives? You've got to be kidding me. I thought it would have been more interesting if there was a battle and Jake and Nessie had to escape just like Bella planned when she got those forged passports.
I didn't get that either. The only reason I could come up with was that Meyer wanted Jacob/Renesme to seem more perfect together? Maybe it's just a hybrid thing.
Werewolves...oops I mean "shape shifters"...
Are kick butt! Jake is so much better than Edward.
It was...odd.
Jacob's blonde jokes made me laugh though.
AND I LIKED LEAH. She's cool.
But the end...it just sucked. I wanted someone big to die *coughBellacough*. I didn't like Bella the vampire. She was all pretty and perfect and shieldy and boring.
And before Breaking Dawn, I was all like VAMPIRES ROCK YEAHH and crap, but now I've realised werewolves are much better. Also, Jacob Black is 846543897 times better than Edward "shiny perfect hard sex-obsessed" Cullen.
Also, Renesmee. HONESTLY!
So yeah...a disappointment really. :\ I only liked the part written from Jacobs' perspective.
Ahh well. Still looking forward to Midnight Sun!
My sisters thought I was nuts! But the mental image was great!
The little girl grew fast because she had the same cromosoms as Jacob Black! Dure!
The mix of human and vampire was kinda odd but the part with Jacob having a rival and the boy that was devistated for killing his mother when he was born half and half was kinda sad. The book was better than the last three and just as addicting.
20 Questions for Breaking Dawn:
Anyone else wonder what happened to Renee? A character that people had expressed interest in? Who disappeared basically, as if she didn't matter?
And why did Renesmee grow so fast? Why? I don't get it. Not in the slightest.
Why was really bad science brought into it? Oh my god, vampires have two extra chromosomes. I wonder if Dracula knew this.
Hahaha, yes, I definitely did! Jacob and Rosalie fighting was one of the best parts.
Who acctualy laughed out loud when Jacob threw his food at Rose?
Too good!
I think everyone's already said pretty much everything I felt about the book...but too bad, I'm gunna say it allll again!
I found Breaking Dawn to be very disappointing. I thought that all the little things that I didn't like about Deathly Hallows were in Breaking Dawn and then magnified times a million:
-The whole Renesmee thing was incredibly stupid, in almost everyone of the first seven chapters it was mentioned that Bella would never get to have children if she married Edward, and then it was like "Oh, wait, nevermind!"
-Once Bella turned into a vampire, everything became exceedingly boring. Bella seemed to loose all of her personality. There was no conflict, for several chapters, and I felt like all the charm of Edward was kind of lost as well, because it was like "well, I'm hotter than you now!"
There were a few things a enjoyed, book two was amazing from Jacobs POV, and I loved Emmett's innuendos, that was hysterical. Other than that there weren't very many things I liked. To me, Breaking Dawn had the fan-fiction-y feel of the epilogue of Deathly Hallows.
However, I will still treasure the other three books, despite my disappointment with this one.
I have no idea what y'all are talking about! I'm in love with that book! I thought that it was the best one yet!
I wish that Leah and Jacob would have ended up together though. I wouldn't mind a little more action either, but I still ABOUSOLUTLY LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!
but that's just my opinion.
I just got the book from my friend, she said she absolutely LOVED it and that she wanted another book to tell the life of Renesmee *shudders at name.* I, on the other hand, give it a "so-so" rating. I mean, Twilight was awesome. It really sucked me into the series, but then I was starting to fade off. I'm only on the seventh chapter of Breaking Dawn and I don't know if I'll have enough interest to finish it. I'll... try.
But I was sort of hoping that Bella would suddenly change her mind and go with Jacob. Or Edward would kill Jacob or vis versa. I wanted some action or bloodshed or something! It's going to really tick me off that there's not going to be any action. I'm always afraid of this happening with series. The books getting worse as the go along. A Series of Unfortunate Events had a pretty good ending. I really liked that series. This one, well... "eh." *shrugs shoulders*
Twilight - awesome
New Moon - still great
Eclipse - starting to worry
Breaking Dawn (so far) - so-so
That's what bugged me! There was No climax.
Plus a bunch of things didn't make any sence, it's almost like she was coddling her characters. I mean someone could have at the very least been hurt....
I pretty much agree with LyricalSunshine (with whom it would appear I agree with on all things Twilight). However, I would like someone to answer these questions:
-the vampire genetics. How during the process of changing does a vamp get two extra chromosome pairs?
-how come Edward can be a father yet Rosalie can't be a mother? Unfair or what?
-so the Volturi went all that way just to turn around again. There wasn't even a fight! I felt the same way at the end of New Moon. Where's the climax???
-Leah. What happens to her? Jacob abandons her. Does that mean that she has to spend her life with her misery in Forks? Nobody seems to care very much about what happens to her. Sure, she may be mean, but doesn't she have a reason to be? But once he imprints, it's like Leah doesn't exist anymore.
-Charlie. Bella had to be changed because she knew too much. Now Charlie doesn't know it all, but he knows enough, right? So why isn't he in trouble?
-Who's Embry's father? That one especially bugged me.
-Isn't Claire's mother going to wonder why Quil wants to spend so much time with a three year old?
-I'm sorry, but Renesmee Carlie? What kind of a name is that?
-Is Nessie going to have any mortal friends through her childhood? At all?
-Charlie thinks that Nessie is Bella's niece, then Bella says that she has his curls...
-why do the wolves hate the vampires so much if they're not actually werewolves?
She left far too much unanswered.
I was euphoric when I finally finished the book. It was full of lols, fail, and so much Mary Sue-age. Bella's got so much Mary Sue going on that her daughter inherited it.
Honestly, Stephenie Meyer needs to take some writing classes and/or read some books on writing so that she knows how to plot better and stuff, because she has the potential to be a good writer - her ideas are pretty cool - but she fails in execution. So many plot threads dropped, so many non-existent Chekhov's Gun.
Well, I liked the book and at the same time I was like "woah!" I will honestly say that I was about to quit reading it 'cause it got a little...weird, with the whole pregnancy thing. Then with the whole Jacob imprinting on Renesmee, I was like okay. But Bella finally turning into a vampire was awesome.
I think I went from liking it, thinking "o...kay", "what!", "you gotta be kidding me!", to hating it, to liking it again, and then totally liking it.
Anyway, I'll just keep it short and brief. I liked the book.
*~*Foreseer*~*
The pregnancy didn't really turn me off...it just disturbed me a LOT.
I did like how Edward fainted though, that made me laugh.
I think we can collectively agree that the pregnancy turned everyone off. I almost stopped reading there XD Then I realized that I needed to finish the book, not want to but NEED.
All I wanted was something bad to happen. Maybe a wolf dying... Oh my god the wolves! I totally forgot about the newbies! Who were they?! *dies* I must know! Gah!!
Anyway, I liked it but it all seemed to fanfictiony. Edward seemed a bit off and everything was too modern; like the innuendos. Blegh. I get enough of those from my friends and now I must get them from the book =P Maybe I'm just not used to knowing so much and now that we know everything it seems un Twilightish. All in all I liked it but hated it at the same time ^.~ I wonder if she'll do a series about Renesme after the Midnight Sun extension...
Interesting!
~Lupe
I personaly hated it.
The sex scenes were un-needed and the "fight" was tottaly half baked and not worth the hype.
The second I finished reading and geeking about how awesome it was I picked up Twilight and started rereading it!
...realizes this is her friends watch...exhales*
It shall not end on my watch!
*checks watch...watch says 'it shall end'
At least we will get to see it from Edward's perspective when Midnight Sun comes out!
~mirandamaddness
P.S. It shall not end!!!!!
i was honestly surprised how much of it included inendos and sex. I was like whoa, what happened to all the virtue and such?
but then the pregnancy was depressing. Edward went like crazy but once he could hear her thoghts he was like "oh, ok, it's all better now."
and jacob! he was supposed to LOVE bella, and then once she gave birth he was like "Yeah, ok, im leaving. Have fun saving her life, Eddie."
I was like rawr.
but i litereally laughed out loud when she attacked at Jacob for calling Renemee Nessie. (side note: I get the sentimentalism of the name, but it's still wierd.)
and then they were happy, and i was like... ok...? there's still a big chunk of the book left. what happens now?
so then the Volturi. And there's a gigantic build up, falsifying documents, and afraid for everyone's life. And then... nothing. they come, talk and then leave. It was kinda stupid, i thought. I mean there should have been at least a little fight. Like maybe after they left Jane would stay behind and attack b/c she was agry at Bella or something. I don't know... it didn't seem realistic.
BUT yay for Bella being an awesome vampire. I thought it was funny how she was like born for it. But does anyone know why she wasn't a normal new born? just curious.
and i loved the ending. When she could make edward hear her thoughts. That would come in handy sometimes, i think.
ok, so that's my whole rant, i think. Unless I'm forgetting something.
-kailamarie
I decided that I liked the book!
I didn't mind the pregnancy until Jacob imprinted on her, it was like a bad fan ficition...I hated it!
I was okay with it....but now that I think about it it possibly ruined the book! I liked all the new characters and everything. And really I thought a lot of people would die, and Jacob and Nessie would run off, and then the next book would be all aboiut her....
I agree that the ending was anti-climatic!
But idk, I sort of liked it, I think if Jacob and Leah had been together. Or at least both of them found some love as well as Embry [Who still doesn't have a daddy] then it would have been better.
I've decided that Aro is a big stupid head and I don't like him. Er, I mean... he was a bad character.
And Renesmee... the name.... *gag reflex*
But the books aren't literature. They're meant to be read for fun. It was a fun series.
I liked it, but it's going to be a while before I read it again. There was no climax what so ever. It platued at the birth scene and then was just average from there to the end.
Bella was cool as a vampire, but I think SM tried too hard to make it a happy ending. I, personally, would have found the book so much better if one of the characters had died. I was so prepared for Jacob to die. It would have made the book more intense and more believable if someone had died instead of everyone miraclously living through impossible danger.
Does anyone agree that the end is just a giant speech by Aro? What's up with that? And "Renesme"...give me a break.
I think Breaking Dawn was okay. I thought it was too perfect...Bella becomes a vampire, gets Edward, can still be BFFs with Jacob, a baby, her human family, and no one harms her/Cullens. I think there needed to be some sort of action in the book. Not just peaceful chatting.
I think the Volturi or the wolf pack should have attacked or something...something bad should have happened.
Then the pregnancy thing...I didn't like that at all.
For the most part, a friend of mine and myself have been warring off on who Bella will finally stick with. And I'm happy that it has been settled once and for all. (Don't worry, I'm not gonna spoil it.
)
But I did think that Stephenie Meyer went overboard on purple prose describing Bella in certain parts of the book. And some parts were too sudden. Other parts were just plain BORRRRING!
Grade for Breaking Dawn: B-
Sorry, Steph. But be more suspenseful in your writing. Twilight was good and Breaking Dawn was average.
It was good, but it was so awful!
I liked it, but I extremely disappointed. I thought it had potential to be an amazing epic, but as soon as they got married, I realized that it would just be 700 pages of happy ending. The climax was hardly a climax. And worst of all, Bella still lacked a personality.
And yet, as much as I hate it, The Twilight Saga remains in special place on my bookshelf.
But lyrical_sunshine is so right. The Host is light years ahead of Twilight.
Woot! Breaking Dawn!
I loved it, but it made me sad. It was sad to see Edward and Bella go. Kind of like when I finished Harry Potter - I missed him.
Although her half vampire thing was totally my idea, and she totally took it. -.- I have proof too *points at notebook*.
~Bella Bambina~
I didn't read the book - I just read the spoilers.
J/k. It's still a little frustrating though. I thought I was being all original.
And I freaking predicted EVERY SINGLE PLOT TWIST in BD.
Booyah for me.
That being said, I'll probably read it, but I have to borrow it from a friend because I won't spend $25 on something 20,000 people wrote as fanfiction.
Which isn't me saying anything against Stephenie Meyer. She's a fine storyteller. She just was a little too predictable in this last book, and I have a feeling when I read it I STILL won't like Bella or Edward.
Shameless plug:
*coughThe Host is her best novel by farcough*
I'm also slightly (EXCEEDINGLY) annoyed that SM gave my main character's name to a vampire. "Nessie." There is only one Nessie and I created her, dang it.
Whoa... Alice, you just made me realize I didn't cry. I cry at every book that is even slightly sad. I get too wrapped up in every single storyline. That must be a bad sign... or maybe I'm ACTUALLY growing up.
I have a whole rant thing in the Twilight user group. I didn't like Breaking Dawn. I was disappointed. Eclipse would have been a fine ending.
This book was too disturbing, for obvious reasons.
I liked it!
Bella as a vampire was awesome! The vampire pregnancy thing was weird....And I think it was an unneccessary addition to a series, it ended nicely with Eclipse. But this tied up all the lose ends and gave it a happy ending that didn't leave me sobbing histericly so it got points for that.
