Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4)

The plot "twists" were predictable and contrived.
The characters I had come to love were turned into shadows of themselves, like robots.
The whole time I was reading this, I wondered what she could've possibly been thinking.
I didn't mind that the book wasn't the same tenor as the previous three. I expected that, really. And I also know that ending a series with as rabid a fanbase as Twilight is undoubtedly going to piss off a lot of people no matter how it's done, but this? Come on.
Maybe if she'd had more time for editing it wouldn't have felt so splintered and convenient, like a giant cop out. I guess this is what happens when an author releases two books in the same year. I hope for her case it's a lesson she's going to take to heart.
Seriously, the second star in my rating is only out of pity because I loved the first three so much.
