Stephenie Meyer - Breaking Dawn

Pros: A welcome and unexpected return to favorite characters ~ lots of answers
Cons: Bella is so darn whiny. Entirely too long and slow in place.

How are fans supposed to feel when a fourth book is released in a beloved trilogy? Happy for the chance to revisit favorite characters? Annoyed that the author is clearly cashing in on the fans’ eagerness to revisit favorite characters? So it was with ...

Pros: Engaging, fascinating read that ends the saga brilliantly
Cons: It's over?!

Ooh, how to write this without giving anything away. Ok, first of all, I'm assuming you've read the previous three novels in this series, so if you have not, there may be some spoilers, but I won't give anything away from this most recent and final book ...

Pros: ties up all the loose ends while leaving the story open
Cons: too neat, borrows too much from Anne Rice

I came late to Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series, so I missed the furor, but was able to read all four books back-to-back. While not necessarily the intent of an author, reading a series in order without stopping allows for more comparisons ...

Pros: A resolution to the Twilight Saga (well, sort of)
Cons: Sex-obsessed, violent, implausible, and overly long

In Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga, Isabella (Bella) Swan is caught in a supernatural love triangle between the dazzling vampire Edward Cullen and Quileute werewolf Jacob Black. In Twilight, Bella met and fell in love with Edward, and throughout the ...

Pros: Jacob, lively book compaired to past two, the gothic feel of the middle
Cons: a bit long, feelings could have been better described/justified

BREAKING DAWN is the fourth (and supposedly last) vampire book by Stephenie Meyer, continuing the triangle (and trilogy) of Isabelle Swan (a human girl) and Edward Cullen (a vampire) that are in love plus her best friend Jacob Black (a werewolf) who is ...

Pros: Considerable length, inclusion of interesting characters.
Cons: Amateur story lines and clumsy phrasing

I read the first three books online in place of doing an assignment (I am exceptional at procrastination). While reading each of these I was struck by how unbelievably like fan fiction the books seemed to be - not just because of the black words on a ...

Pros: See Review
Cons: See Review

!Because so much happens in Breaking Dawn, this review man contain some major spoilers. Please don't read it if you are currently reading any of the prequels to this book, this review would probably ruin it! - The Author - Stephenie Meyer ...

Pros: Some good characters returned, and there were elements of humor.
Cons: The book was sexist, hypocritical, and entirely offensive.

I was extremely excited by the prospect of the final installment of the Twilight saga. However, the book was nothing more than a string of bad teenage fanfiction, nicely tied together with underlying sexist tones and bizarre overarching political ...

Pros: Great plot twists We get to read from Jacob's point of view!
Cons: Pretty intimate - Not for younger children

*SW* = Very Small Spoiler Warning (I try keep as much secret as possible!) BD is divided into 3 sections. Book I Breaking Dawn begins only days before the wedding between Edward and Bella. Things are going smoothly, and both ...

Pros: last book in a series happily ever after
Cons: no conflict whatsoever soooo predictable

if you're an avid stephanie meyer fan, i'm sure you were waiting in lines at midnight to get your copy. I was so excited to read this book after her first three were amazing. Of course I had to read this one too because it was the last in the series, ...

Pros: Great series
Cons: A little bit boring

I love Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse, but frankly, Breaking Dawn was a disappointment to me. It started out okay, then it got a little boring, then a little more interesting, then the end was...um...terrible. Glad it was a happy ending and all, but all the Cullens did was argue with the Volturi. I really wish that it would have been a little more interesting, or atleast not be the last book.

Pros: im sorry- nothing
Cons: structure, little action

Just hours after its release, i had finished the long anticipated Breaking Dawn. I became a fan of the previous books in the series, but I'm very sorry to say that i was not pleased with the finale.
The whole book pondered over the thoughts and feelings of the characters in the book, resulting in little action. To me, it could have been very bad fanfiction. In addition, i did not enjoy the setup of the book as it was split into several smaller "books" where each book was told from either bella or jacob's point of view. Therefore, everything seemed disconnected.
Despite being dissatisfied, i couldnt help but finish the novel to find out what happened to the characters that Meyer had built so wonderfully in her previous books.
