 So much better than the first three books... November 21, 2008

I'm not giving any thing away, no spoilers here. After book 1, I had to read 2 and 3 just to see where this was going. Breaking Dawn made it all worth it. The first three were teenage-angst melodramas... this book is an EPIC. The emotions, the nobleness, the choices, the suspense... its a page turner you will want to read again.

I read the other books, they were all right. But this one was just literary crap.
 Slow Read, but overall- OK. November 21, 2008

I was late jumping on the "Twilight Saga" bandwagon, but over the summer I picked up Twilight and finished it in two days. The same with New Moon & Eclipse. But Breaking Dawn was sorta a slow-read. It just didn't have the same intensity as the first IMHO. Renesmee was a cute addition the the Cullen family, but like others I didn't really dig the whole imprinting thing on her. It wrapped up nicely though, but I did sort of wander if Bella would ever see Renee again..All in all I give it a 3/5
Disgusting Excuse for a Novel! November 21, 2008

This is a horrible, sickening, and perverted novel that should be banned! Kids especially should never be allowed to read garbage like this! The demons must laugh uproariously to see people on this planet reading the stuff of nightmares and Satan's handiwork! Disgusting novels equals perverted read!

ive started getting my hopes up just after reading the first book twilight.. but it just started regressing towards the last book.. and all i can think of was i wanted to keep my sanity and find another good book to read to compensate for the wasted time i spent on this last book. "b-down" was dragged out a lot.. there was no actual plot until the last 1/4 of the book and when it finally came it just seemed flat, completely anti-climactic. it has more holes than i can count. i wish there were more vampire actions.. more fights.. maybe some sacrifices that will make the story more meaningful. a real battle shouldve happened that was anticipated from the beginning. but it was a good thing that everything ended well.. the happy ending was actually compelling, still edward and bella and nessie together after everything.
but still.. i was very very very disappointed er nauseated! whats with all the jacob imprinting on nessie part? that is sooooooo wrong in soooo many levels!!! it makes me and a whole lot of people i know who read the book really sick! okay it was said that the reason why this imprinting took place was coz bella always sees jacob as family.. but they're already bestfriends.. what more should be proven? sigh. jacob will always be a big part of bella's life. being very good friends means that they are and will always be a family and that is priceless. it means a lot. thats justifiable already. thats special enough. why does it seem that it was forced on this part that jacob still has to be imprinted on someone connected to bella? oh and edward calling jacob his son towards the last part of the book? (i just couldnt stomach it). i just hoped that jacob imprinted on leah instead considering the two developed chemistry in the story. and still jacob is the best uncle and he will be protecting nessie all the time. that will make more sense, and the wolves will continue to be stronger allies of the cullens. jacob doesnt have to wait till nessie turns 18 or 20 and know that they're more than friends. so his imprinting on the half-vampire daughter of his former love-of-his-life just to mean or forced he is still family- is truly unnecessary, it is so just not right. i cant and a lot of readers cant really stand it. i wish there was a poll about this imprinting lol.
and one last thing, something that is certainly essential that i couldnt get over with.. i hope the author showed here that edward and his daughter had more connection to each other.. more chemistry.. more bonding.. i hate the fact that the imprinting overshadowed this very important matter. please.. have mercy! huhuhu..
so if midnight sun will still be released, considering this is edward's point of view of twilight and onwards maybe, i hope it will be shown this time how close nessie and her dad is, important facts, details, how edward was longing to have a kid of his own and he thought it could never happen but it did.. how it is to be a biological vampire dad lol..how nessie feels about her dad too and him being very good friends with bella's bestfriend as well at last etc. and edward doesnt have to be jacob's father-in-law. i wish it was shown that jacob is finally at peace with himself towards edward in a way that it wasnt coz of the imprinting on his daughter and it doenst have to happen anyway to begin with. (it's difficult to accept it otherwise..)i know there are lots of things left unsaid.. so much to learn from edward's side. sigh.
so there, i hope it all goes well.. everyone, every couple, every coven, every pack, every alliance, every family,- WITHOUT THE IMPRINTING OF JACOB ON NESSIE- will be living their own lives but still be in harmony and close to each other if there really is a fifth book.
