Bella has grown up! I enjoyed the different story telling from other perspectives. I liked this book the best of the series, "saga." Nice ending. However, the basic principle of this story, Bella getting pregnant by a vampire is sooooo highly unlikely. I mean, his heart doesn't even beat, let alone any other bodily functions that would cause pregnancy. Any way, it is fiction and it was entertaining. ( ![]() Borrowed Interesting conclusion to the series! the only thing i remember about reading this book is thinking they were about to kill absolutely everyone in that battle and then being disappointed when that didn't happen. I wanted a total party kill, complete bloodbath. Enjoyed the audiobook as a re-read.
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.
Although eighteen-year-old Bella joins the dark but seductive world of the immortals by marrying Edward the vampire, her connection to the powerful werewolf Jacob remains unsevered. No library descriptions found. |
