    • Breaking Dawn
    • This book is really very good in its genre (YA romance). The storyline keeps the reader entertained and interested and provides a neat ending for the series even though the author does tend to take the easy way out of her plot conflicts.

    • SEQUALS CAN BE JUST AS GOOD!
    • Oh my goodness! The story just takes such a sudden turn! You can't put it down because you just want to know: "What will happen next???" A very good book, a wonderful conclusion to the saga. A little sad that it's over, but a guide is coming out in December!!!

      Worst character development (and character!?) goes to Bella. If begging for sex at every spare moment (and agreeing to remain human for another few years---because wow, the sex is great) didn't set women back another forty years, then the sudden transformation of a clumsy, immature, whiny teen who needs protecting into a protective, motherly figure at the moment of the knowledge of her pregnancy will definitely get there. And of course, the vomit inducing ending, where everyone gets what they want, Bella is perfect, and so is her baby.

      Despite what everyone has said about this book, I didn't think it was that bad. Maybe it's because I hated the third book while everyone still loved it, so I was expecting something a lot worse, or maybe it's because I was already forewarned about all the spoilers and complaints (which was not my intent; I was quite pissed when it got ruined for me) but I kind of enjoyed this book, despite the fact that the first half of the book was completely spoiled and the second half was kind of predictable. From an eighteen-year-old, die-hard romantic's point of view, the book was okay.

      I still hated Jake. I don't understand why an entire section had to be dedicated to him, really. I don't even really think that Jacob is even really necessary to any of the books except for the second. I think my main problem with Jacob is that he's like this character that Meyer just tried to throw in and make suddenly important as an afterthought, when she decided to make a sequel. And then she became obsessed with him. Much like Bella, she just could never let him go, and it annoys me so SO much because I always feel like Jacob is just this unwanted (by me, maybe not Bella, or even Edward) person who's not really needed and is just annoying, pushy, and really selfish and self-centered. He's very irrational. He doesn't think a lot of the time. And he's just like this annoying kid who won't go away. I feel like HE was the leech, who just stuck around and complained all the time. I hated how he imprinted on Renesmee and just tagged along, because it felt so often like he was just robbing Bella, Edward, and Renesmee of the family time that they deserved together because their kid grew up. I don't mind if Meyer wants to let Jacob have a happy ending, move on, and imprint on Bella's daughter (though it's weird), but I felt so often like Jacob was just barging in on that obligatory family time that should have been just for Bella, Edward, and their daughter alone. And that's the main thing that pissed me off about this book.

      I agree, I think that Meyer did a good job with the whole vampire sex part, I agree that Bella is like a freaking child herself, who maybe wasn't all too ready to be a mother at all, but I think the fact that she was a part of a bigger family who helped her raise Renesmee kind of compensated for this a bit. So I'm not really mad about Bella's pregnancy, or Bella (finally) being turned a vampire, or the happy ending that so many people are complaining about. I just really hate Jacob, and it's frustrating and annoying because Meyer loves him and can't let go of him and can't let him be any lesser of a character than he probably should be. It's like she decided somewhere along the way that two main characters wasn't enough; she needed a third, enter Jacob Black.
