Breaking Dawn: The Twilight Saga, Book 4

Book four of the Twilight series. A teen paranormal romance.Bella, a young ordinary human girl falls in love with Edward a vampire.First. This series completly changed how I view vampires. It's not all about evil and blood with Meyers. This series opened me up to teen fiction which is now my favorite reading material. This series also opened me up to shapeshifters, and lots of YA material. Even Faeries and Mermaid books. I'm over 35 and always check the YA sections first now. I actually saw parts of the Twilight movie before reading this and loved it, then started the series. Bella the clumsy human many readers bash, actually ends the first three books being brave, and possible hero material. I won't spoil how this one ends.Now on Breaking Dawn. This book is artwork and probably the best book I have ever read. When I run out of new books, I often return and end up reading breaking dawn again. I don't know how many times I've read it.The book is three parts. Very long parts, 760 pages, so if you like the series you get a great deal on this. Two books for the price of one. The three parts are first person views switching from Bella to Jacob.Part one begins with a beautiful wedding and honeymoon. Then tragedy strikes and we're taken into part two from Jacob's perspective.Breaking Dawn is a page turner you will not be able to put down. It's writing at it's finest. While the series has been bashed for being poorly edited, we see near perfection here. We see huge scale progression from the characters. We see the conclusion to a romance triangle that has kept us guessing since book two. We see nearly every question from the series answered here. We get a lot more of the Cullens, and even a close look inside the pack mind. We get more character dialogue than any book in the series, and maybe more than the rest put together. This is a series you can read over and over, but if your like me, you'll find yourself reading Breaking Dawn the most.I spent a lot of time reading over the negative post on this book and actually rewrote mine to answer them. I read through several pages of post and will answer each one I can remember here. And that's the point. Every single complaint this book gets can be explained.The only real problems to this book, are a unfinished ending, and it's a bit of a fairytale completion to the series. About ten problems the series has had are answered perfectly in Breaking Dawn. Each one makes sense and can be explained, but taken as a whole. Ten happy endings might be too much of a fairytale.Not to me. I love happy endings. Keep in mind this is a laid back and relaxing series. Intended for teenagers, but excellent for all ages. Yes even retired people.SPOILERSAnswers to complaints about the series.Charlie doesn't put up enough fight for the wedding.---- What more could Charlie do? Disinherit her? He's been against Edward since the end of book two and seen it does no good. He accepts it hopes Renee can do more.Charlie should ask more questions after Bella is sick--- Maybe a few, but not many. Remember Jacob has just shown him he's a werewolf and told him if he can't handle to wierdness Bella will leave. Any parent who loves their daughtar would play along. The only other option is to loose her.Bella turns out graceful--- All vampires are graceful. Alice seems to be more so.Bella shouldn't be married at eighteen--- There is nothing wrong with marriage or children at eighteen. If you can love, afford, and have time for your child, it's actually better to start early. It gives you more years with your kid. Would you rather be thirty-five or fifty when your kids eighteen?Bella gets to skip being a newborn. No one else has. Bella should have killed people---- Carlisle, and Rosalie never drank human blood either. Edward avoided killing anyone for ten years after her was a newborn. He killed bad people when he went off on his own. Carlisle was tempted and probably the others as well. Carlisle woke up inside a city and ran off as a newborn. Bella's prepared. She's the only vampire the Cullens know who's chosen the life as a vegitarian beforehand. None of the other Cullens were expecting to become vampires. Meyer gives us hints in book three by saying at least four times "It will be interesting to see how Bella turns out since she's prepared."Bella can't get pregnant! It's impossible! Vampires are frozen and can't reproduce.---- Meyers never says male vampires can't father a baby. She even gives evidence to say they can in BD page 125-26. She says female vamps can't change enough to carry the baby, but males need to change very little to father a baby. As long as Meyer doesn't contradict a baby being possible, then the baby is fine. What gets me is how can readers believe in vampires in the first place and question a vampire baby? They believe in vampires, werewolves, arms that can move without being attached to a body. They read three books of paranormal and question the fourth book because of a pregnacy they didn't suspect.Bella gets all these rewards and pays nothing---- How much do you want her to pay? I think she paid too much through the series and again here. She's tortured a little by James. Edward ditches her and she nearly goes insane. She saves Edwards life and get grounded for it. She has to hurt Jacob when she gets Edward back. She has to live knowing all of those people in Seattle are dead because of her. She has to run to Rosalie for help since her loving husband cares nothing about what she wants. She carries a baby that has a fity percent chance to kill her. She suffers three days in agony. No. Bella is like the most forgiving girl on the planet and deserves everything she got.The wolves conflict ended too easily. Someone should have got hurt---- Honesty did anyone expect the wolves and Cullens to end up as enemies when the series ended? Hasn't that been one of Bella's side plots to get them to get along? Remember the magnets? The whole wolf conflict was based on the word abomination. Meyer wrote this scenario beautifully to make perfect sense the wolves would halt the attack after loosing three of their own. Not to mention abomination is a weak excuse to murder in the first place.The imprinting is wrong and fixed Jacob's problem too easily----- Meyer is clear it's not wrong. It's very similar to people promising their children away at birth. Even religious people did this a hundred years ago. If it offends you, why didn't you complain after book three? There was a two year old baby then too. I don't think it fixed Jacob too easily. Again we were prepared in book three, and Jacob has suffered enough too.Their should have been a fight at the end!--- I agree. Meyer totally messed up the ending with the Volturi. But, she had small reasons for this as well. Most of Carlisle's witnesses were there to defend only. Even the fighters. Even though the Volturi attacked first, could gentle Carlisle say charge? The Volturi backed off first so if the Cullens had attacked, it would have been a small form of murder. That's a very small reason, and I agree the ending is totally messed up. Meyer had no reason to end the series this way other than to write us another. Which I hope she does.

Although I went to the release party, I pre-ordered my copy on Amazon and had to agonizingly wait until yesterday for my copy to arrive. Curiously, I checked to see how many stars readers were giving this book, and was horrified to see just how many 1-stars it had (and this was hours after its release). I didn't read the reviews but was prepared for the worst.I just finished reading it.Let me first say that I read books for enjoyment, not to analyze them for messages they may be sending out to readers (I'm an English major- I reserve that stuff for work not pleasure). I noticed that people complain a lot by the decisions Bella makes and how the author is somehow `copping out' by giving her "everything" she wants in the end. Readers should remember that these characters are fictional. It seems kind of silly for me to judge their decisions as if they were real. But you must take a character's personality, their character, into consideration with their decisions. Some reviews made it sound like Bella simply wanted to have her husband, become a vampire, and have a family; and that it all turned out that way so easily for her made this book terrible. (Can't imagine what those reviewers have to say about classic fairy tale's endings where princesses always end up with their princes.) It's not that Bella simply wanted these things and then BOOM she got them. She was a zombie for months in New Moon, willing to commit suicide to distract Victoria in Eclipse, risking her life to reach Edward in Italy, agonized over and over countless times about the pain she was causing, or the pain she was feeling. She suffered through a lot and fought pretty damn hard to try to acquire her dreams, bring happiness to others, and feel happy herself. Personally I am very glad she got her happy ending! Wouldn't it just break your heart if our endearing Bella suffered through all that to only fail at the end and conclude her story alone and miserable trying to put up a facade to keep loved ones from worrying about her?Something that really bothers me is when reviewers say things like Stephenie Meyer let them down or disappointed them! As an aspiring writer myself, such remarks really irk me! Real writers, who truly enjoy writing, don't write to please readers. They write for themselves; they write because they enjoy the process and enjoy giving birth to these amazing stories and characters. Some writers don't want their work read. They don't want the attention or the criticism. If Stephenie really wanted to, she could have easily milked out these books, have the love triangle last longer. She would have made a lot more money and fame. But that wasn't the goal here. If Stephenie ever reads this by some off chance, I'd like to thank her for publishing her work. She has a gift for storytelling, and I was impressed not only by the compelling fluidity and vividness of the way she tells stories, but of the endearing characters she creates and the way that they grow and develop as the story progresses. I admire all that she's done and if I happen to disagree with anything in her books I'm certainly not going to complain to the author that she's a let down and a cop out.I think Breaking Dawn was well written and holds the same style as the rest of the series. True it is a little fast paced at times when suddenly a week or month has passed here or there. I was a little thrown off by the sudden perspective change to Jacob 100 pages in (but in terms of storyline, the plot would be impossible if it remained in Bella's perspective, or shifted to anyone but Jacob, because until Jacob went to the Cullen's house, the characters were at a standstill in their situation). Readers have judged Bella for getting married at eighteen, for deciding she wanted to live a little longer because she discovered her sexual relationship with Edward, or because she became so maternal when she found out that she was pregnant. Bella's always been a mature character and became a legal adult. She knew she wanted to spend her life with Edward and had both his love and support as well as that of his family. In that circumstance, being so sure, why is it wrong for her to marry him? If she thought that once she became a vampire all her senses would change and she wouldn't be herself again for a very long time, is it wrong for her to want to stay human a little longer to enjoy her new physical relationship with Edward? I myself don't plan on having kids yet, but if I loved anyone as intensely as she loved Edward, the thought of having his child (after discovering it was already conceived) would not really freak me out after realizing it was possible. She loved Edward so much and here she had the opportunity to have his child- an Edward Jr.I don't know, but it seems to me that some of the complaints on why this book is bad seem to be thought only from what the reader him/herself perceives to be the action they would or should take were they in that position without considering the characters themselves or the world they live in.I think all Twilight fans should give the book the chance it deserves. Watch how characters grow and come together. Don't analyze it as promoting wrong messages to teens or judge a character's actions. Just enjoy it for what it is- a well-told and creative story.
