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.

great books   Review Date: September 3, 2010 Reviewer: kracykat, This book was everything that I expected and more. There were a couple of plot twists that bothered me. This was the only book where I didn't hate Bella as much for the decisions that she made. In this book she became the hero and I really love the love story with Edward. I only wish that they would have casted a better person to portray Edward. Robert Pattinson doesn't do it for me, but I am 39. The Edward in my mind is handsome and warm. I gave it 5 stars despite my dislike of the crazy story line twists. It resolves eventually letting me accept those twists in the end. This series was my favorite romance of all time. I loved it. I usually don't read vampire books or such easy reads or even romance novels, but this one was very different and I'm thankful that my friend recommend this series. Would like more   Review Date: September 3, 2010 Reviewer: older reader, I'm an Austin and Shakespear fan. The characters have me hooked!!! The plot of the love story is as good as Austins. But I think they have the mark of a first time author and could have had more editing. But I would still buy more. I see the author maturing in her writing of "The Host". I will follow Stephenie Meyer as long as she publishes. Good read for the young and young at heart. You people are crazy this book is so good. What is wrong with a happy ending   Review Date: September 2, 2010 Reviewer: mikeandsteph03, Stephene Myers is great and I can't wait for more books to come out. I wish they would make a tv show out of it. There is nothing wrong with happy endings and I never knew what was going to happen she kept me wanting more. I loved the book and now I am having a hard time wanting to read anything else. Someone always has to ruin something good. don't read the book for your own good.   Review Date: September 1, 2010 Reviewer: , This is the worst book I have ever read in my life. I couldn't wait to read the 4th Twilight book. When I opened this book, my smile turned into a frown. This book is pointless,and I think that the book has no purpose. Most people just read this book because they want to say that they've read it,but I feel bad for anyone who has read it. I don't understand how Stephenie Meyer has a career,and how anyone would even compare her to J.K Rowling. FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, DON'T READ ANY OF STEPHENIE MEYER'S BOOKS! Let's all breathe!!   Review Date: September 1, 2010 Reviewer: Jessica Ball, I too, have read all the books (twice) and have jumped on the "Twilight" bandwagon late - I read the final book and was totally dissappointed as well....total let down! Let us all pray that the last 2 movies are better then the book... WOW ~ When has anybody hoped for that??
