 Who wrote this mess? Mar 18, 2010
I am a speed reader and can go through books like these very fast. My talent only works with books I enjoy and get the rythm going. I got into Breaking Dawn and ground to a complete stop, thinking "Who wrote this book?". I do not think she did it, it was such a complete change of writing style. I struggled through and just put it on the shelve shaking my head. I had to get on Amazon and do my first review! I also wanted to see if others had the same thought that I did, she did not write it! I saw that time and time again in the posts. Was this book meant for teenagers? There would be no way I would ever let my teen read the 4th book! How in the world are they going to make this into a movie? It would have to be rated R. I will not go on because it has been covered nicely by the other disgruntled posters.

 Great Books Mar 17, 2010
The Twilight Saga (all 4 books) are the best books I ever read. I have never had books keep me attention so fully. I ended up reading the whole series in a matter of 3 weeks. I read every chance I got. I would highly recommend these books to any female.

 Decent escapist literature Mar 15, 2010
The entire series is all a big fantasy and every single book in it has enormous flaws but that aside, if you take it as it is meant to be taken, it's fun. This book ties everything up and many of those ties end up feeling forced, especially with Jacob.
Aspects of the story are troubling, particularly the near pedophile werewolves which Stephanie Meyer tries very hard to justify with a term called "Imprinting" which, strangely enough reads a great deal like the justifications NAMBLA gives (i.e. genetic predisposition). As they never actually have sex with children, just "protect" them, I can't be any more critical than I am on this point. It is very disturbing and really wasn't at all needed in the storyline. I find myself wondering why it was included at all.
Besides that, there is an irony at the end with Bella becoming the protector instead of the protectee. The dialog is as corny in this one as the others, some people enjoy that I suppose, I simply found it repetitive and rather dull.
One thing I ended up liking, which I didn't think I would, was how the book has an entire section from Jacobs point of view, which I thought was rather well done. Unfortunately, it makes this book read more like three books instead of two and like most of the books, the plot doesn't really unfold until you're about 70% of the way through it.
When all is said and done, I did read all 4 books in 3 days because they were fun. Flaws and all. All escapist literature is flawed by it's nature. These books are certainly no exception. If you can take them at face value, be forgiving to the author and open up to a fun, romantic and somewhat silly ride at times, then you will enjoy them.

Exactly what I needed Mar 15, 2010
I bought this as a gift and they loved the book and I love how easy it was to get.
