Breaking Dawn (Twilight Saga)

I only picked up the twilight series out of curiousity to see what all the fuss was about and i adored the first 3 books and read them all in the space of 3 days! The main problem i had with BD was that i had already figured out the plot before i had even opened the cover, the progression of the story was incredibly predictable and tied up the loose ends a bit too neatly, it was too convenient. There is so much potential in this book that was just wasted. At times it even became a bit ridiculous and i dont believe that Bella could be so stupid in coming up with that name, it was a bit too "chav", a bit too zed list celebrity. It is a very good read however and some of the moments are truely nail biting. But i couldnt help but feel like the author had rushed when writing it. The plot could easily have stretched into another book and i feel a bit like she had chickened out of writing an epic vampire war. The potential was there but i dont think the author was daring enough to grasp it with both hands. Instead this epic romance, like so many other stories before it, has ended with a happily ever after.

I started reading the first book, Twighlight on Christmas Day and went through books 1, 2 and 3 like a hot knife through butter. I don't usually do hardbacks (a long standing aversion) but just had to order Breaking Dawn as I simply couldn't wait for the paperback version. The tension that built throughout the first three books continues. With some books you can guess at where the storyline is going but I really had no idea how the plot on this one was going to develop or what the ending would be. By the time you have reached Breaking Dawn you know the characters intimately but there is still an unpredictability which keeps you page turning well past bedtime ..... I was consumed with the need to know what was going to happen next (won't tell you and spoil it for you) but you won't be disappointed! The worst part was knowing that the story was going to end and that (as yet) there isn't a fifth book to move on to.

I too was shocked that people complained about Breaking Dawn. My only concern is that the movie will not capture this amazing book properly. I loved the 3 part idea of the book. OMG I loved this book and the romance def heats up a notch. Where is my Edward? I was taken to another world in BD. The passion between the couples in the book,not just between Bella and Edward is just amazing. The developments, wow, wow, Steph takes us on such an incredible journey. Steph gives us exactly what we want in this book. I am 29 and as sad as it sounds I loved the Twi books. Not going to lie the book could have been better written but you get what is going on and who is checking for grammar errors anyway, plus I am a teacher so I would comment on that. Regardless I say read the series. Stephenie please please write another book to continue this lovely story or please finish Edward's side of the story begining with Midnight Sun, so much more intense than Bella's, would love to know his views in NM, E and BD. More twilight full stop. Wish it was a TV series now and not a Movie, 4 or 5 movies if BD is split in two is simply not enough to satisfy my craving for this charming story. I loved it, could not put it down, made me smile.

breaking dawn was the best book in the twilight saga !! i read it in a few days , just couldn't put it down. the story grabbed you from the start!! i love love loved it !! going to read it again shortly.

If you have read the first three of the Twilight books then you wont be disapointed with Breaking Dawn!

The management likes it and it was bought for her, so thats all right then!

After reading the first three books and falling instantly in love with the Saga I had high hopes for a fantastic conclusion - and I wasn't disappointed. Although I am a married 31 year old mother of 2 and therefore not in the target demographic, I cannot recommend highly enough these books to everyone who enjoys both vampire tales and a good old-fashioned love story.

Great book and have enjoyed the whole series can't wait for the film to be released.

out of this world as soon as you pick up the book you are there with bella and Edward. It is a can not but down book they all are.

I read all the books and heres what I think for whats its worth. Meyer is never going to set the world alight with her literary skills. In "Twillight" she created a believeable world and a perfect little story that was very satisfying to read so you could forgive her flaws as a writer. "New Moon" not as perfect but pretty good too. This final book unfortunately showcases her glaring lack of writing talent with a poor storyline and some downright ridiculous moments. It has already been said by other reviewers but I feel she chose the lazy route with the story line and padded the book out to the last with pages of unnecessary waffle to fatten it up. I hope the screen play for the film strips all this padding from it and makes something better of it.
