Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4)

** spoiler alert **
What? Huh??? I'm just stunned...what was Stephanie Meyer thinking? The Twilight series is a series about young love that is not meant to be...when did it turn into a straight out horror/gore novel? Don't get me wrong, I love horror stories...but not when it's placed in a young adult love story. I know the average reader of Twilight is not a horror/fantasy genre lover. That is not what is expected from Twilight. What IS expected is love, handsome vampires and angst. Not strange alien birth and gross out moments of distended bellies. Sitcoms "Jump the Shark" when they "bring in a kid". Brady Bunch, Growing Pains, on and on. Gross. Well...Twilight has "jumped the shark".
The Jacob story line of leaving Sam's pack and becoming an alpha...very cool...Seth and Leah, very cool. Imprinting on the abomination? Not so cool. WRONG. Disgusting and wrong. On many levels.
Meeting and learning about the other vampires was very interesting...and let's face it, it would have been more interesting if they played more of a roll in the story...(like I thought it was going to be...I thought Tanya was going to have some sort of hold upon Edward) Oh well.
Other things I hated:
Renesme - WTF?! That right there is what we call in fanfiction world as BAD and just plain BAD.
The cottage (barf)
The whole honeymoon..awful.
Edward gnawing away to get the abomination out of Bella :gah: I think I threw up in my mouth a little.
Not delving into how Rosalie feels about the whole baby thing
The birth itself...horrendous. (Don't write about the actual sex act but have a detailed graphic birthing scene...yeah,that makes sense. This may be a good thing for teens, however...I'd NEVER want to give birth after reading BD.
I'll probably think of more in the days to come.
Do yourself a favor...like other people have advised...stop at Book 3.
