Product Description |
|
When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved? To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs. Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating, and unfathomable, consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella's life--first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse--seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed... forever? The astonishing, breathlessly anticipated conclusion to the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions. |

Great love stories thrive on sacrifice. Throughout The Twilight Saga (Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse), Stephenie Meyer has emulated great love stories--Romeo and Juliet, Wuthering Heights--with the fated, yet perpetually doomed love of Bella (the human girl) and Edward (the vampire who feeds on animals instead of humans). In Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final installment in the series, Bella’s story plays out in some unexpected ways. The ongoing conflicts that made this series so compelling--a human girl in love with a vampire, a werewolf in love with a human girl, the generations-long feud between werewolves and vampires--resolve pretty quickly, apparently so that Meyer could focus on Bella’s latest opportunity for self-sacrifice: giving her life for someone she loves even more than Edward. How close she comes to actually making that sacrifice is questionable, which is a big shift from the earlier books. Even though you knew Bella would make it through somehow, the threats to her life, and to her relationship with Edward, had previously always felt real. It’s as if Meyer was afraid of hurting her characters too much, which is unfortunate, because the pain Bella suffered at losing Edward in New Moon, and the pain Jacob suffered at losing Bella again and again, are the fire and the heart that drive the whole series. Diehard fans will stick with Bella, Edward, and Jacob for as many twists and turns as possible, but after most of the characters get what they want with little sacrifice, some readers may have a harder time caring what happens next.

Great Series |
|
This is probably one of the best series I've read in quite some time. I would definitely recommend this to anyone over the age of 13... & I have! Meyer really out did herself! |

The best ever!!! |
This book, I have read now 4 times. I have also listened to the book on DVD. I cant get enough. How perfect it is, it wraps everything up nice and neat, and the love that is shared between Edward and Bella, oh my gosh, I cant even describe.
I truly cannot wait until Stephenie Meyer begins the MidnightSun again and finishes that. The version of Twilight from Edward. I have read the 264 pages that she has on her website, at least 3 times now, and I want more!!!
This book, Breaking Dawn, dont miss it.... |

I devoured the first three books in this series in a short matter of time, but, this one... well, I almost couldn't finish reading it! I kept hoping that something would redeem it, but it just kept getting more boring and then even more boring. I should have just stopped, but I felt I had to read it in order to receive some sort of payoff and to make sense of why I had felt compelled to buy and read the previous three.
The author made a big deal out of why Bella and Edward didn't have sex before marriage (Edward's so-called morals or his being old-fashioned--give me a break! He's a vampire and he has killed people! Once you kill a person and drink their blood, you sort of lose out on morals.) So, they had to get married in order to have sex and then Bella was basically beaten up while having sex with him because he just couldn't control himself 'cause he got too excited. That's disgusting! With a little imagination, I'm sure the author could have figured something else out to make it so Bella wouldn't have been hurt having sex with her husband.
But, you know, that wasn't even the worst part. Having her have a hybrid baby that had to chew its way out of her was sickening. And to make the baby able to live on human food and/or blood, but to make it prefer blood is just yucky. As if being human isn't good enough. But, I should have figured that out based on how all of the vampires became incredibly beautiful once they were changed and how Bella became such a fabulous vampire. Oh well.
I just feel sorry for my niece. She has purchased the first novel and is planning to read all of them as I have. I feel like I should warn her not to get her hopes up or maybe not to waste her time because once you finish reading the fourth book, you feel as if you lost all of the characters you had grown to love.
I really enjoyed reading the first three books and this had the potential to be a great story to the end, but it was ruined for me, and, as far as I can tell, for many others as well.
