 BREAKING DAWN WAS EXCELLENT!!! January 8, 2009
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I personally thought that Breaking Dawn was excellent. Its even my favorite and I'm an older reader, so when I got hooked on the Twilight Saga- I was surprised. I think people should back off from Stephenie Meyer's back for her choice in plot. If anything, I see potential for working off from Breaking Dawn--I really really hope she does. She's a brilliant writer who creates brilliant plots.
 Unrealistic Fairy Tale, Not Fable Ending January 8, 2009
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Five members of the family read this book (including four middle school/high school members) and overall it receives an average 2 rating (the first three all were ranked 5 stars). Honestly, as one reviewer already said, it felt like someone completely different wrote this book. I think that the more mature viewpoint of Edward and Bella (and baby), might have made more sense if a fourth book had transitioned their story (and Jacob's involvement in the triangle)to a fifth. Additionally, the conflict with the other vampires, which had been more of a subplot before, needed another book to transition to the major plot. Essentially, the first three books were fantasy/romance novels; this one read more like a fantasy/action adventure with a romance undertone. Jacob is the only character that seemed consistent with the past for most of the book (though his personality was a bit watered-down with the imprint issue) and the change in Bella's father was a major disappointment. At the end, we all found ourselves longing for a less "happily-ever-after" and a more "realistically-ever-after" ending.
 Last of Twilight Series January 8, 2009
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The final book drew the characters together very well in an interesting story line; but it wasn't her best in the saga since there were a few wild ideas thrown in that just didn't make sense to me. For example: a 1-2 month gestation period, and the rapid rate of growth of the child. We know from the example of Jesus Christ, being 1/2 mortal & 1/2 immortal, that His gestation period was the normal 9 months and He grew up in the normal fashion. The author's idea of changing that mortal process was farfetched, and the reader really got lost in fantasy land. I lost interest in the book after reading through that section, although I did finish it.

I loved this book. It ties up the saa nicely, and has a happy ending...which I love
This saga is a fabulous read from beginning to end January 8, 2009

I've been absolutely enraptured with their stories from my first look into Bella Swan and the Cullen family in Twilight. This is a saga that you can lose yourself in and really care about the outcomes for the individual characters. My only concern would to be advise parents that this particular piece of the saga covers the more physical aspects of marriage at times - generally so, but still.
