This was my least favorite of the series. There were so many things that just irritated me and I didn't really enjoy any of this book until the last 300 pages or so. ( )

While readers of the Twilight Series can take the third book as a sign of what the fourth book will offer to the reader. This is by far the most disappointing book of the series. The writing is slow and the story really seems to be reaching for anything. When reading this novel I felt that Meyer was rushing to the end that we all new was coming from the first book but not sure how to actually get there. There are also uncomfortable parts of this novel that I would think should be inappropiate for people under 18 years old. There is much more violence, incest and sex in this novel than the three before them.

There are some moments of beautiful writing which seems to surround the character of Jacob and the werewolves in this novel. But it is not enough to pick this book up and read it if you are not reading through the series. I will not give anything away as to plot in this review, well for two reasons if you read any of the books or seen the movie you already know the plot and two there is not much plot to give away. I have to admit though the last chapters of the novel made me laugh out loud, but I am positive that it was not Meyer’s intention. ( )

***SPOILERS*** I put aside the other books I was reading to read this in two days. The fourth and last installment of the Twilight series is much like the others -- fun, light, very long. I was really surprised to have the wedding so early, and I have to say the set-up of the plot was different from how I expected, even if most of the way it turned out was not. I was less annoyed with Bella's voice than usual (I think there were only four roll-my-eyes descriptions of Edward's near-godliness), and it was fun to have Jacob's voice in the middle. Though at times I wished for more stringent editing and the name "Renesmee" struck me as a bit over-odd, I still really enjoyed the book. Not a book I would re-read, but an enjoyable light read for summertime. ( )

Epigraph
Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age. The child is grown, and puts away childish things. Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.
Edna St. Vincent Millay (Book 1: Bella)
And yet, to say the truth, reason and love keep little company together nowadays.
William Shakespeare "A Midsummer Night's Dream" Act III, Scene i (Book Two: Jacob)
Personal affection is a luxury you can have only after all your enemies are eliminated. Until then, everyone you love is a hostage, sapping your courage and corrumpting your judgment.
Orson Scott Card "Empire" (Book Three: Bella)
Dedication
This book is dedicated to my ninja/agent, Jodi Reamer. Thank you for keeping me off the ledge. And thanks also to my favorite band, the very aptly named Muse, for providing a saga's worth of inspiration.

Book description
The conclusion to the Twilight series we find out Bella's final decision about both being a vampire and her romantic interests. However a snag is thrown before the honeymoon is over. Now everyone has to think how they can save Bella and when the Volturi show up, themselves. Bonus of finally seeing the Denali Clan and an assortment of other vampires.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 031606792X, Hardcover)

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.
