I agree with everything written here, except I can’t respect Stephanie Meyers statement that ‘it was the story she wanted to write’. She had good books in Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. You read them and were hooked. Breaking Dawn was sloppy and half a–ed. I feel like it isn’t a part of the same series of books. (The later half after the wedding, of course.) it was almost as if a third of the way through the book she was told that she couldn’t write a fifth so she just closed it up all neat and tidy by going all crazy.

Of course she says “its the book I wanted to write”, she can’t say “your right, it sucks, I’m sorry to be disappointing”.

I despised it more then some, I guess. I plan to lose my copy of Breaking Dawn and pretend that Eclipse was the final book.

Just found your blog–OMG, it’s as if I wrote this review myself, right down to the words “demon spawn.” So much of BD was wonderful, but at the end of the day, it was a hot trannie mess.

Love love LOVE your blog, btw.

well…..i didn’t knew about the twilight saga until this july…..i’m from romania and in our country the books didn’t appear so fast….i was talking to my best friend and she told me she wants to see the movie-twlight-…..after i’ve seen the movie something inside me wanted to know more about the story….and because i couldn’t buy the books because in my country they hadn’t appear yet i searched like crazy on the internet…and finally 4 days ago i found all 4 books only-in English of course,but i have no problem in reading in English…i know the language since i was 5-….it was like the sky fallen over me…..i started to read them and in 3 days I read them all……twilight was exciting,new moon shocking ,eclipse-which is my favorite one -was exciting shocking truly keeping me in front of the pc…..and breaking dawn….which was low to my expectations ….i can’t say it wasn’t good but i wanted more action more edward and bella-like in the first chapters of the book-….i really liked the fact that all lived happily ever after but i wanted more suspans before that ending….i wanted actions that make fell horrified ….i liked also the part with the pregnancy….it felt like i was in pain too….but after…..i don’t know….it felt like something broke….i wanted the fight to be like in eclipse….i wanted the suspans from that fight to be in this one too…..anyway i bet midnight sun will be too good..i read the partial draft -a lot of times-and it was what i was searching from breaking dawn…..i hope the movie will be better than the book……..i love twilight and i am a huge fan of robert and kirsten…and also taylor…..they are perfect for the roles even though many don’t think like me…..they are like i pictured them from the books-i tried not to be influenced by the movie…..this books really changed the way i see life….now i want a vampire as my true love….

I concur with everything you said above. I felt the exact same way. I didn’t like Bella as a vampire, what made her endearing was her mortality. You lost something in the love between her and Edward when she became immortal, it just wasn’t the same anymore. And I still haven’t forgivin her for attempting to hurt Jacob when she found out about the imprinting. People say I’m overreacting, and maybe they’re right, but the fact that she broke Seth trying to get to Jacob and never apologized to Jacob… its the perfect example of the fact that she really wasn’t ‘Bella’ anymore. I didn’t mind Nessie, though the story would have been better without her. And I thought that if Jacob wasn’t going to get to be with Bella (Team Switzerland here), he should have at least gotten to imprint on someone worthwhile and not a child (I was hoping for an awesome vampire, what a story that would have been). He got shafted.
My overall opinion of the book was that Stephanie Meyers knew how she wanted it to end before she started it, she wanted to wrap things up in a neat little way that told the ’story she wanted to tell’. My opinion is that a true storyteller lets the story unfold naturally, they would let the story lead them, and this felt very forced. It felt almost as though, because the story unfolded in a way she didn’t expect, she had to wrestle it around to fit it in her intended 4 book package, with her perfect ending. Anyway, its just my opinion.
Also, maybe I did expect too much out of a teenage book. But with all the hype the book was getting plus reading it shortly after finishing Harry Potter, an exceptional series written for teenagers, to me I feel unbiased when I say it fell far short of the mark.

Didn’t even know these books existed two weeks ago, and now I have read all of them. I must say I enjoyed them too…even Breaking Dawn. I guess because I had little to no expectation I would like any of them at all, and then was pleasantly surprised at the draw that the books held for me. It was a fantasy book which I rarely read so it was just nice to have a book end happily for once. It has been a long time since I’ve read a book (in high school or college) that wasn’t completely tragic in one way or another…of course I was just coming off my toni morrison phase so ‘happily ever after’ was the Prozac I needed. That being said, from the get go I wasn’t expecting an epic tale, just her writing style or lack thereof alone was almost to much for me…how many times can you use the word chagrined? (wince…) or smoldering? getting so bad to the point she actually wrote “his eye’s did that smoldering thing again.” (hahhahhahhahhahahhahhha) So you see my friends what we should all take out of this is just what it is an emotional roller coaster for women that finally had a feel good ending. Try not to set your expectations so high on a teen romance novel…that might help you in the future to enjoy the books…worked for me!

I think in the end, if Bella didn’t become a vampire, her and Edward could never be together, would we want that? If Jacob hadn’t imprinted on Nessie, he would have either a) been unhappy forever, b) imprinted on someone else, or c) ended up with Bella… Would we really have been happy with any of those? I think in the end, what happened needed to happen. The only thing that really bothered me was Leah who I perceived to be the most sympathetic character. Where was her happy ever after?
