Summary: An Outstanding End To a Breathtaking Series
Comment: This was my favourite book in the Twilight saga. I finished it in two days despite my plan to read it as slow as possible to make it last longer. An outstanding end to a breathtaking series, I'm just so sad it's over.

Summary: It's a story
Comment: Being a late developer (and a rather more mature reader - my daughter introduced me to it) I have only just discovered this series. I have enjoyed all the books and even read the draft of Midnight Sun on SM's website.
While some aspects "jarred" a little in Breaking Dawn it is just a story and I managed to use my imagination where necessary, even at my advanced age!
I enjoyed Breaking Dawn and felt it "tied up" the story - while leaving a small opening for a later return to the characters. I shall miss them all!

Summary: A sheer and unfortunate disappointment
Comment: After reading the first 3 Twilight books in the grand total of about a week, I eagerly awaited Breaking Dawn and forced myself to pace the amount I was reading to make it last longer. However, I found that I took my time reading Breaking Dawn just because I couldn't keep up with it. Granted, I read the first book contained within the book in about a night, but after that I seemed to lose interest.
*Possible spoilers ahead.*
The plot, to keep with the theme of every single addition to the Twilight Saga, is thin, however I found this book's plot to be so far drawn out that Meyer might as well've not bothered with a plot at all.
Bella has yet to develop any likeable qualities, and Edward still does little more than dote upon Bella every single second or every single day. Whatever affable characteristics were still present in either of the main characters becomes tedious when all they do is have sex - Meyer even fades it out, the audience being too young and all. The reader does get to know Jacob more for what he is in the 2nd of 3 parts of this book, but towards the end of this part, the paedophilia begins and all the respect he earns for his morality and kindness is thrown completely to the wind.
Renesmee. She has her own separate category as she shouldn't even exist. What, in the name of all that is dear to this stupid world we all live in, were the ideas behind this `plot twist'? Bella cannot be pregnant. With Edward being technically dead, therefore inevitably unable to produce children with his own kind, how the hell can Bella become pregnant? Renesmee, as a character, is irritating and just plain boring to read about. Similarly to the frigging perfect `goddess' that conceived her, she is flawless, gifted in the opposite ways to her parents and even grows at a significant rate, which, considering she's technically half-dead, is quite an achievement. And guess what? Every character loves her! Even the new ones, introduced purely to add to the climax of the `big-bang' finale that never comes - I'm not even going to go into that. (The bad guys just walk away? They apologize? Yeah, that's right.)
Breaking Dawn totally erases any concepts put forth by the other 3 books, (I refuse to call them novels.) especially the struggle that took place in Eclipse, when perfect Bella realises that she cannot have everything she wants and has to choose which life she wants the most, either leaving her lacking in something important to her. Bella finally develops some maturity and chooses Edward, therefore losing Jacob, her parents and that side of her life; personally, I think this a good choice. Being a 17 year-old girl, I'm very partial to Edward's (constant) description. But Breaking Dawn totally dismisses this and gives everyone a happy ending. Bella, getting to keep both sides of her life now, because of Jacob's wolfy love of Renesmee binding his tribe with the Cullens and Bella's uncanny ability to be the perfect new born, essentially learns nothing.
Again following with the trend of each of the additions to this once-acceptable series, the characters with the most potential to be interesting and likeable are either ignored or just not looked into enough, mainly Jasper, who again takes a backseat in a story he could be such a big part of.
I dislike the morals and lessons associated with the close-to-non-existent story line. Breaking Dawn essentially tells young female readers that if you sit back and wait for long enough, bringing yourself down because you think you're ugly and clumsy, a knight in shining armour will come along, marry you, finally get serious with you, get you pregnant and then change you so you're like him. Then everything will sort itself out and you'll get a happy ending.
I realise that this review will probably receive a large amount of unhelpful votes, but my advice to anybody looking to buy Breaking Dawn is to not bother. Keep Eclipse as the final Chapter in Bella and Edward's story and leave them with some sort of pride in that they've both actually achieved something.

Summary: What a waste..
Comment: I wish I didn't read this book. I thought twilight was great in a thrashy, teenage girl way and the other two were so so. This is just horrendous. I sort of enjoyed the first part about the wedding but it's all downhill from there.. As soon as the word "little nudger" appears. eurgh! I'm going to pretend the series ended with twilight, with the addition of Edward changing Bella at the end. The other two books are worth a look as they have their moments but stay away from this!
