CONTAINS SPOILERS...

This book was truely amazing. It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. This book was NOTHING that I expected, but I am happy it turned out this way. I love this book to death. I am extremely sad the saga is over (except for the book from edwards point of view), but it was a great ending to the perfect love story,

Great twists. I laughed out loud while reading this book. Good balance between fun, drama, and suspense. I recommend reading the whole saga to anyone who is even slightly interested. Even the guys - you may be pleasantly surprised. Meyer's writing leaves nothing to be desired in her use of character and personality with humor laced throughout the conversations.
This book in particular was more graphic than the previous 3 but that detracted nothing from my experience

Breaking Dawn is thte 4th book in the Twilight saga and personally it was the worst yet. Dont get me wrong though it was a good book, but it fell a little short to the others. I think it is because there isnt as much action and suspense.

Bella and edward end up getting married and having a kid, Jacob is still in the picture though, and he eventually imprints.When the pack wants to harm bella Jacob breaks off and makes his own pack. for all the Edward lovers this book will please seeing as Bella and him stay together.

The paranormal love story that has taken the international literary stage by storm bumbles to an unsatisfying conclusion in the highly anticipated fourth book, BREAKING DAWN. Bellas wedding to her immortal vampire lover, Edward, marks the end of her first life and the beginning of the rest of her life. Bella has made her decision to become a vampire in order to live by Edwards side as his equal, but its not so easy as one two three. For starters, it means giving up the human family she loves and doesnt want to hurt. Then, theres also Jacob, her werewolf best friend, who cant bear to see his beloved Bella turned into one of those&bloodsuckers. And finally, Bella realizes theres a few things she still wants to do that involve her remaining a human a little while longer.

But a shockingly unexpected event turns all of their worlds upside down. Once again, Jacob must suppress his inborn dislike of the vampires and aid the Cullens in protecting Bella. Edward promises to himself over and over again that he will never hurt Bella, and yet his love for her puts her in mortal danger yet again. But when a new life binds all of them together in an unbreakable circle of love, they will do anything to save one another with the impending Volturi threat&even if it means they all end up dead.

Its hard to say much about the plot without giving too much away, but while BREAKING DAWN has a few intriguing twists, there are a few that seem a bit TOO farfetched, especially the letdown ending. I have mixed feelings about this being an adequate last book for this phenomenal series because it still leaves so much untold. Will Stephenie Meyer release more books explaining what happens to the characters? She should.

This is my faorite book of the Twilight Saga. I went through it super fast because it was amazing. I can't believe how much drama was in this book. I love Bella and Edward and I was so excited that Renessme was able to live. I can't believe that Alice left the family. But I was so excited when she returned. I think that Stephenie Meyer is one of the best authors that I have ever came upon. She leaves suspense in the story until the very end of the book. Everything flows so well and it was easy to follow. I think that Stephenie Meyer should write books forever with characters like Bella and Edward. Read this Book!!!

The end of the Twilight Saga was everything I could have wished for and more! Very surprising, but nonetheless amazing! I never would have expected that Edward and Bella would have a daughter and I wasnt even sure that Bella really would become a vampire. I was really worried about Jacob, because I didnt want him to keep suffering like he was, but luckily that was solved as well. The second part of the book, from Jacobs point of view, made me cry so much! I didnt realize how much pain he was in until Stephanie Meyer wrote from his perspective. I was really glad that he found someone to love who loves him back, even if shes still a baby. The gathering of the vampires from all over the world was interesting too because it gave you a better sense of how other vampires lived and acted. I also enjoyed reading about the different talents that the vampires possessed. Most importantly, though, is that Edward and Bella will be together forever.

Who doesn't love Twilight??


In the final installment in the Twilight Saga there is NEVER a dull moment.


Quite literally... There is ALWAYS something happening because there is so many lose ends to tie up. I love that Stephenie gives the readers everything they want.
There is nothing better then having a satisfying ending.

Bella has been waiting for this for what has seemed to be an eternity: Her and Edwards happily ever after. Getting married, meeting each of their conditions, and just over all having each other. But when Bella decided to keep her mortality for just a while longer something comes up. Something nobody though would ever be possible. Now the Volturi are coming down on the Cullens and theres nothing that is a sure thing to save their lives. How do you erase a death sentance for a crime you didnt commit?

This book was an amazing finish to the best series Ive ever read. It gave so much closure, I cant think of a single thing that Stephenie didnt sum up. I love the happily ever after factor, of course. Everybody got what they wanted. Bella and Edward can live together for all of eternity along with an unexpected little addition, Jacob has somebody he can finally love, and even Rosalie was happy in the end. One of the things I really liked about this book in particular was Book Two (The book was split up into three sections, Book three being the longest). I didnt think Id enjoy reading from Jacobs PoV but it really helped the story line. I loved seeing how the pack worked inside each others minds and the connections between them. Another thing I absolutely loved was all of the different powers. Benjamins was probably my favorite, the moving of the elements, but Renesmees was also very cool. Bella's was pretty neat, but not nearly as exciting as I would have liked it to be :-p On the topic of Bella, to me she didnt really seem like herself... just different. And I guess that's understandable to a point but I wasnt sure about it. There wasnt nearly as much romance in this book as the others, but many things were hinted at and it was very obvious that there was sex in the book but not a detail was shared which still makes the book appropriate for a younger audiance. I have to say that I think Emmett has become my favorite character although there has never been much of him in any of the books. In this book he was pretty hilarious and I found myself laughing, which earned some wierd looks from my family. So now that Ive basically written a book on this myself, Im going to close it up with over all this was a fantastic book in every way shape and form. It left me completely satisfied with its ending (unlike the 7th Harry Potter book did) and I wouldnt have changed one thing about it. Great job Stephenie, and I really hope any more books in the series are from Emmetts point of view!
