 Absolutely fantastic! January 8, 2009
E. Mansell (Herefordshire, England)
I found Breaking Dawn possibly the best book out of the Twilight Saga. Jacob Black is a character who we actually don't know too much of yet when Stephenie Meyer writes in First Person showing Jacob's point of view, I learned much more about Jacob and sympathised more with his character. By being in Jacob's head, we also learn so much more about the other werewolves- in particular Leah and Seth Clearwater. Seth is a character who we immediately grow to love!
One reason why I have enjoyed the entire cornucopia of the twilight books is because it can be read and enjoyed by adults and children alike. Despite them being predominantly children's books, I would categorise them all similar to the Harry Potters in that they can be enjoyed on different levels. I am 19 years old and have not once found the books "childish". I find Breaking Dawn far from being childish and I believe the books mature one by one from Twilight to Breaking Dawn.
Inritially, before reading this book, I accidentally read a spoiler and so I thought Breaking Dawn was ruined for me; however despite ruining one part, there is so much more to the book that it definitely didn't ruin it. I found it incredibly hard to put the book down and when I did put it down, I was always thinking about the book and what would happen next! The plot builds up and the author successfully draws you in as a reader. When it reaches the end of the book, you can feel the suspense of the situation that the characters are in. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire Twilight Saga and I think Breaking Dawn was incredibly well written- definitely one of my favourite books. My only negative criticism is that I wish there was more to read of the Twilight Saga!!

We loved the first 3 books & we are not teenagers, but range for 25 to 44. We feel that these books can reach all ages. Although at times we got a bit annoyed with Bella when she wanted to rush off & be a vampire, before she had expeirence more of her human side. The film Twillight was good even if the actors looked too 'perfect'. We can't wait to read the latest installment.
Pure YES! January 7, 2009

This has got to be my favourite book, along with twilight, out of the Saga. Hale Yes! :D
I must admit there was certain things that got on my nerves..Such as the name of Rensemee Carlie...but I can deal with that...But..i loved the whole book...It was SO intense..And so addictive it was "my own brand of heroine". i LOVE the characters so much!...I hated Jacob but I loved him in the last book, I now understand him. Seth Clearwater is just amazing...So cute...And Leah's alright. I hated Bella as well cos i was like for god sake what's wrong with you...But now I have respect for her and love her :D..And every LOVES EDWARD CULLEN, and if you don't...Why bother reading the book. Alice is just so great...She always is...Jasper...I love how confused and frustrated he got when Bella fianlly became a vampire because she could control herself extremely well, which newborns are unable to do, and she acted like she'd been a vampire for centuries. Emmett is my favourite character...HES SO FUNNY...continuously making jokes about Bella's sex life and then had to shut up about it because he lost an arm wrestling match with Bella. Emse and Carlisle you've always got to love :D Rosalie did sort of become alright...But I still don't like her...But I love hating a character...I love the emotions Stephenie makes you feel in this book.
Anyway...The book is about whether Bella and Edward follow their compromise they discussed in New Moon and Eclipse...Which is that Bella will become a vampire by Edward when she had married to him. And that they will have sex before she is a vampire... They do get married...But in the honeymoon a little nugger crops up. Bella becomes pregnant...however, the baby is killing her, and it grows extremely fast.
Breaking Dawn is first read from Bella's View, and then Jacobs as he shows us what the pregnancy is doing to Bella and the whole situation which causes a lot of problems because the Werewolves don't know what to make of it and the Vampires have never been in this situation. Bella does have a little girl, however, the Volutri find out and don't know whether to eliminate this offspring as they don't know the dangers she will cause...The Voultri first got involve because of a miss understanding...Something about children not being a lot to be changed into vampires...However the child wasn't turned into as she is Half Vampire and Half Human, and she has ability as well.
When Bella becomes a vampires...it's the coolest thing ever.. So amazing and they describing made me jealous.I want to be a vampire. :D however, Edward still can't read Bella's mind, however, it appears that Bella doesn't really obtain a power..However she does...She is able to form a shield around people to protect them from mental attacks, such a Jane one, the little vampire from the Volutri who can make you feel pain.
There are loads to this book...And you must read to know what the Volutri will do. It so intense and amazing...so brilliant.
If you are a Twilighter..BUY THIS BOOK and READ and READ again...Cause Stephenie Meyer has created this amazing piece and a HUGHE epidemic.

I really enjoyed all 4 books in the series but felt the last book in breaking dawn was a bit rushed especially the bit about Charlie finding out somthing strange was going on.
You never really found out why Bella, from the start, seem different to other humans, why Edward could never hear her thoughts, why her half human/half vampire baby had a temprature higher than a humans. I kept waiting to read that Bella may have been a decendant of the werewolves herself, but no.
Anyhow still a good read that why the 4 stars.
best one from wole series January 6, 2009
