The wedding ceremony is the beginning of her new life as Mrs. Cullen, but she wants a little more time as human and she wants a few more human experiences.

   I read the whole series and by the time I got to Breaking Dawn I was unimpressed and genuinely disliked the character of Bella. Meyers tries to portray her as a selfless, humble character but she is anything but. She is constantly putting everyone in danger, she is absolutely cruel to Jacob for...

I just finished Breaking Dawn, the final book in the Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer and I must admit that it was definitely my favorite.   The author took it up a notch and it became geared more toward the adult level.  You will have to read it to understand what I am saying because I'm not going to give away too much of the good stuff.

In Eclipse I learned that Bella had fallen for both Edward and Jacob and thus, I needed to read the last book to see whom she chose.  Well, within the first chapter the wedding takes place and for the Cullens coven it is probably the wedding of the century. ...

Breaking Dawn is the final book in the Twilight series, written by Stephanie Meyer.  I am not normally a fan of fiction, however, I was addicted to every single one of the Twilight books.  I read all four hardback novels within approximately three weeks.  YES!  THEY ARE THAT GOOD!

Now, I raved about the first book, Twilight (read review here).  The book, at times, left me breathless.  The passion between Bella & Edward was so real, so intense, just what every girl dreams of having when she grows up.  The second book, New Moon (read review here) was only okay, in my opinion.  Things started...

If you haven't read my previous Twilight series reviews, it may benefit you to read them so you know where I stand with this series. 

As with all of the other Twilight books, I didn't enjoy this one. However, this fourth and final installment in the Twilight series was definitely the most interesting. In this book, Bella officially joins the Cullen family. This book is definitely aimed towards an older audience than before. Sex scenes and allusions to sex occur in various parts of the book. From the beginning, it was obvious that this book would be even weirder than the rest. I don't want to...

Stephenie Meyers has become a cultural phenom, especially in the female teen set, with the Twilight book series.  The final installment Breaking Dawn is the best of the series and is well deserving the build up that was created in anticipation of the books release.

Mrs. Meyers wastes no time with back story in her opening chapter.  The story takes us right to where Eclipse left us, and wow what a wonderful and emotionally charged opening she gives her readers.  Fans of Edward and Bella are not left hanging, we are filled with their love and devotion right off the bat.  The artistic description...

Breaking Dawn is totally jam packed. From the wedding to the Volturri, I was never bored with this book, which I am re-reading for the eleventh time. I was surprised that Stephanie Meyer put Jacob's point of view into the story, but it did put in more information about Jake and Bella's relationship. It made me feel bad for him, and I actually thought he was gonna end up with Leah!!! (Gasp!) I was staring at the book, eyes wide, oblivious to the world around me at the end of Jake's POV (pointo of view) and the beginning of Bella's. I love little Renesmee (Nessie) but I feel we didn't hear enough...

Bella and Edward are the Best!

The wedding was beautiful.  A dream come true.  The honnymoon was spectacular.  They go to a remote island that is just beutiful and Edward makes love to Bella.  But she has to make a big decision on being human or immortal.  Her decision effects the Callens and all there friends.  This is one twist after another.  The best book by far, and the last.  You will not put it down!

the 4th and final (???) book in the series.  I liked it, yes - but I do feel that possibly Stephenie Meyer rushed this book out (since she had 4 books out from 05-08).  Also feel as if she could have made a 5th book.  Some parts were WAY to descriptive for me and I found myself thinking, "ok, can she nix all the description, I mean who cares about all of this?"  most of the description really didn't even need to be in there - but do read the book, you must know what happens to your beloved characters!

This was by far the best book of the Twighlight saga. There were times that I wasn't sure I would be able to read the whole saga but I persevered and made it through which I am glad that I got to read this book. It is a little less high school ageish and breaks slightly away from her typical writing style in letting Jacob be the first person for a third or so of the book.  As always, it was quite predictable and the ending could have been a little more magnificent.  I'm not typically a romance novel reader but a little more sex scenes would have done the book well. Especially after they were...

I wasn't expecting Stephenie Meyer's to go in the direction that she did but overall I really enjoyed it. Although I must say that was a very weird twist in regards to Jacob. I have read many reviews about this book and alot of people are complaining about the ending being to much of a happy ending. I completely disagree with them, I personally am a happy-ending kind of girl so I loved it and am glad that Meyer's was able to work out a way that all of the characters were there in the end.

Breaking Dawn has to be the 2nd best book in the series...next to the first one. The first chapter is the one that you will be wanting to read about after finishing the 3rd book. I was so glad that this was in there...you will just have to see for yourselves!

Then the book takes a strange turn that I was not completely in love with...OH well, I didn't write it! Then it gets even stranger...through the entire series you are seeing through Bellas eyes. You feel how she feels and sees what she sees and then all of a sudden you have to look through Jacobs eyes. It was a bit off but only because by...

What more can be said about Breaking Dawn. Chances are you either a) have already read it and are very opinionated (loved it; hated it) b) are planning to read it and have already read other spoiler reviews (like all the ones on Amazon) c) are planning to read it and are avoiding all reviews just in case they have some spoilers d) have no interest in reading it at all. (So far--on Amazon--as of Wednesday, September 13th 10AM Central time, it has received 2, 251 reviews: 925 5 star reviews, 317 4 star reviews, 197 3 star reviews, 250 2 star reviews, and 562 1 star reviews.) There will be spoilers....

I started this series just after the 2nd book was released, thankfully. So I was able to read twilight and new moon together, which I will say for someone like me with no memory, was helpful and made it more enjoyable. By the time breaking dawn was released, I had a vague memory of the story, but knew I had absolutely loved it despite not remembering much... so there was no way I wouldn't read breaking dawn. The whole series follows Bella, a human teenager who falls in love with Edward, a 80 or so year old vampire. It twists and turns and each book is fantastic as a stand alone or read together... review »
