Sigh... I don't want to dislike it but...
Customer Rating: 




There is no way this review can go on without major spoilers. So here is my warning.
I dont want to go so far as to say I LOVED reading the Twilight series. It was close enough. I really, really enjoyed them, but I knew they were far from perfect. Not even close, in fact. But they did have their degrees of entertainment.
Though flawed, the other 3 novels through away every Vampire cliché known to man. It irked my a bit, but I got over it, because I fell in love with the characters. Well, mostly with Edward Cullen. Therefore, I was most dissapointed in Breaking Dawn and what occured pretty much off the bat.
I can forgive the going out into the sun bit, and the sparkly skin, and everything else Stephenie Meyer has come up with. However, how can a pregancy between a human and a vampire-who should not even be able to carry sperm-be even remotely plausable? Unfortunately, I guess what was happening as soon as they got to their honeymoon. But I didn't want it to go there. It's just plain wrong. It almost seems too neat and tidy.
Alas, that is exactly what happened. And it happened at an alarmingly fast rate. Of course, proper drama was thrown in-the baby was slowly killing her, breaking her from the inside out, bla bla bla.
Jacob and Edward are suddenly best friends. The werewolfs want to attack and kill Bella and the unborn child. The evil vampire clan from Italy is coming to destroy them all... It was too much, and yet not enough. Jacob is still lusting after Bella, even though she is dying, Edward doesn't even care anymore, even going so far as to offer Jacob to Bella, and have lots and lots of little werewolf babies-if only Bella would give up the unborn fetus and stay alive. Sigh.
That is pretty much the bulk of the story until towards the end where this huge, massive battle is planned-but then nothing happens. Lots of talking, and evil intentions. But that's about it. And then it goes away. And everyone is fine and dandy again. The Cullen family is still together and strong and happy. And thats pretty much it! That's the end of the Twilight Series! Just like that..
Breaking Dawn did have its moments. When Bella was dying, I felt for Edward and Jacob. Though I kind of guessed at the outcome, it was a nail-biting kind of moment. There were others too. Jacob imprinting on Bella's baby. Again, almost too tidy, but it was a nice moment.
All in all, a slighlty dissapointing end to this interesting series, but not a total horror show either. I do get the hype, I just wish it had ended in a more unique sort of way, and not all dandy like it did.
