Disappointing Breaking Dawn

I still enjoyed it, it just went in a rather silly direction, and was a bit cobbled together in places. I still liked it, but it's not how it should have ended, really. and I think someone major should have been killed off. it made it all a bit safe. I strongly suspect that the author planned to kill Carlisle, then couldn't bring herself to actually do it. there's just one sentence that made me think it would be him, near the beginning. and I was releived that it wouldn't be Alice. but no, the whole hybrid thing was a bit stupid, and violence that would have enhanced it was shied away from. oooh, here comes big, nasty, scary, vampire army, okay now they've decided to leave us in peace YAY! rather anticlimactic. but, I still enjoyed it. just not as much as I think I could have done if it had been different.

no actually i loved it. i truly thought it was great. at the time i was displeased with some turns of events but now ive read it all im perfectly content wondering why you feel this way?

such a let down really... i mean the story just became so ridiculous that when i was half-way through the book i was laughing at some part. and i could only had 2 reactions the all time.. it was just either huh???@!$! or what?!@#!@ then when nothing actually happens in the last part i was just too confused if i was really reading the right book.. hahaha.. oh well...

I actually enjoyed this one a lot. To me it is probably my second favorite of the saga with New Moon being the first. There were points were it seemed to be boring or drawn out and the lack of a fight scence was a bit disappointing with all the hype that was set up, but all in all it was enjoyable. I think she did an excellent job at showing perspectives and the thought process involved not to mention all the changes that happened in this book. I really loved the ending as well where Bella let Edward see her thoughts...I thought that was so sweet and romantic (yes im a hopeless romantic lol). I loved seeing the "new" Bella as well. She is totally amazing as a vampire and finally is so sure of herself. She was finally able to accept who she was and proud of it instead of constantly complaining..the whole wanting to be with Edward, but not marry him drove me crazy. I'm surprised so many didn't like this one. I really enjoyed it and she made it as adult based as she could. I heard she wanted for there to be more violence but she couldn't with it having a teen rating. Maybe that is why she took "The Host" to an adult level so she can show her full potential to say. I think she is also planning on writing "Midnight Sun" which is from Edward's perspective as well so maybe there is hope that that will fix things for those disappointed with "Breaking Dawn". As for me I'm sad to see it end, I fell in love with this story so quickly and love all the characters. They are so easily to relate to and I find myself still wanting more of their story lol.

i think that's the first time i've heard anybody say that one of the books in the series is less than good. frankly, i have not ready any of the said books but i've been thinking about it lately. thanks for letting your opinion known.

The series is pretty trashy but I think you've got to ask yourself what you were expecting of a book, written by an adult, about a teenaged girl falling in love with a vampire. Let's be serious here. Twilight wasn't brilliant. New moon was slightly better, and Eclipse, well, eclipsed them both, but marginally. In comparison to the first three, then, Breaking Dawn was pretty fantastic. Although Meyer seems to not know how to resolve suspense effectively, there were some ridiculous names going on (I mean really, Renesmee) and implausible cooperation between warring tribes, it was better than I thought it would be. People don't read these books to become enlightened, read great literature or have life changing experiences. They read them because they're entertaining, in much the same way as VH1 or Who magazine is. If you don't place high expectations on things that will obviously not deliver, then I think you'll enjoy the book.
