They are written in such a way that you feel you are a part of the story, you get personally invested. It is why so many, and such a wide range of those many, love these books. But I have to say this is my favorite. Of course it is the last in which most everything comes to an end and is either resolved or otherwise come to terms with. I love the way these books are written. It is as if you're reading someone's private journals that weren't meant for public view... A classic love story. (  )1 julix | Dec 22, 2009 | By far the best in the series. Bella finally grows up, Jake is less annoying, and the vampire world gets much more interesting. (  )1 jplumey | Dec 22, 2009 | Breaking Dawn is the culmination to the Twilight Saga and it is, by far, the best of the four books. We finally see some long-anticipated events as well as some highly unexpected developments. I just love who Jacob finally imprints on! In addition, Meyer's experience is evident. There is a marked contrast between the first and last books. Breaking Dawn is better written and the characters filled out far more than they were in Twilight. I was very sad to reach the end of this book. ( )1 fairy-whispers | Dec 22, 2009 | **Spoiler** The feminist in my prevents me from liking this series of books, though I'll admit (reluctantly) that I enjoyed the love conflicts (I definitely side with Jacob). Meyer's obvious pro-life agenda annoyed me, as well as the general creepiness of Edward and the weakness of Bella's character. Even her special talent is passive. Also, she is happy to settle down in a little cottage in the middle of the woods. Sure, she might have forever to get educated (assuming she's not killed), but you'd think she'd prioritize education just a bit more. I think I could have guessed Meyer's religion even if I hadn't known before reading the books. (  ) jessicamhill | Dec 22, 2009 | 
 And so the pabulum slips down, spoonful by spoonful, with every now and then a neat idea, an unspoken hint of untold perversity, an almost subliminal flash of something nasty.  Over 754 pages, the answers come almost too easily, but not quickly. Certain elements of BREAKING DAWN are perplexing, even off-putting --- particularly the scenes of sex, pregnancy and childbirth. But it's nearly impossible to please everyone --- especially when so much of the series' drama has relied on the tension of Bella's choice between two very different but desirable lovers. Readers who are able, eventually, to gain some perspective will find much to redeem BREAKING DAWN, particularly its new insights into Jacob's inner life as well as its neat resolution to several of the series' pressing conflicts and its realistic (or at least as realistic as a vampire romance can get) portrayal of the complexities and joys of married life.

A little slow to get into at first, Stephenie Meyer's fourth book winds up being another page-turner that you just can't seem to put down. (
