Breaking Dawn

Rating

5 stars – an action packed finale to the Twilight saga

Description

Twilight tempted the imagination. New Moon made readers thirsty for more. Eclipse turned the saga into a worldwide phenomenon. And now, the book that everyone has been waiting for…. Breaking Dawn, the final book in the #1 bestselling Twilight Saga, will take your breath away.

The Book Review Being a week behind most die hard Twilight fans I avoided any reviews before reading Breaking Dawn – though I’d heard runours that there was uproar in the ‘community’. Personally I really enjoyed the final installment in the saga – at 754 pages its a bit of a brick, and I think it works best read in as few sittings as possible – but it’s definitely worth a read. Of course all our favourite characters return, including Bella, Edward – and of course the trusty Jacob – but we are also treated to a whole host of new characters.

Breaking Dawn starts out with the fabulous wedding between Bella and Edward – and then takes the reader on a roller coaster ride, full of twists and turns, with a bit of blood and gore and romance thrown in for good measure. Well I say ‘a bit’ – actually there’s a lot. If you are squeamish when it comes to blood then you might want to avoid a good section of this book – it’s definitely the most graphic of Meyer’s novels when it comes to the ‘blood shock factor’. And the romance angle can get a little steamy at times – though nothing that should be too shocking for the YA reader – its more inference than explicit.

I’ve read some of the negative reviews since finishing the book – and yes I agree, Meyer had two choices for the ending and she could have chosen differently – but it worked. And there seems to be the same old complaints about Bella willing to change herself to suit her perfect boyfriend and how this isn’t a good role model for teenage girls – which once again I understand – but don’t let it put you off. Meyer has pulled out all of the stops with Breaking Dawn and I think it really is an excellent read.
