Is it okay for me to review the last book in a series without reviewing the first 3? I hope so. And let me say right up front, that I was a fan of this book before I read it. I love the Twilight series! So feel free to take my review with a grain of salt, because the reviewer herself knows this might not be the most well-balanced review available.
Breaking Dawn is the fourth, and final, book in the bestselling vampire romance series by Stephenie Meyer. Bella is the mortal teenage girl who falls in love with the immortal vampire, Edward, and the fourth book puts a good "period" to a very, very long sentence. Much of what occurs in the book is to be expected if you've read the first three. Meyer doesn't take us on any incredible twists in this book where the main storyline is concerned. But the new adventures and new difficulties that arise in Breaking Dawn are enough to keep the reader interested and entertained through the massive 700+ pages.
I really did enjoy the book. Many of the "surprises" were the sort that made me think, "I would never have guessed that, but its so perfect why didn't I predict that?!" I'm also a huge fan because Meyer very much ends the storyline. Other authors would perhaps see the economic gain possible in extending such a well-loved series (i.e. High School Musical 3? 4? REALLY?!) but Meyer leans on the side of artistic integrity, I guess, and closes the story where it should end.
And I loved it.

Its cool, I reviewed the first three from a guys perspective a while back. Breaking Dawn is way different from the other books. I wouldn't want any daughter of mine reading it before they were forty though, it gets pretty suggestive. Also I was disappointed by the ending, it was so lame, Sister Meyer (haha) wimped out and just tried to make everyone happy. Not cool. And the whole Renesmee/Jacob thing is pretty disgusting.
It was ok. That ending though? No dice. 100+ pages of preparing for nothing. And I agree with not letting a younger audience sink their fangs into this one. That book did not have to be as long as it was either. Still, I'm only a simple love-struck 21 year old and a sucker for an intense love story...thankyou Meyer for Edward!
Didn't you feel a little cheated. I wanted a big ol' fight scene, and I didn't get one, didn't that make you just a wee bit upset?
