Okay, this is going to hurt.

I had high hopes for this, but it was, in a word, a mess. It started all right, ended anti-climatically, and everything in between bordered, and even crossed into, ridiculous. On more than one occasion I found myself saying out loud, "What the heck???" It read more like a fan-fic than a book written by an author of four previous best-sellers.

Stephenie really should have listened to her editors, or gotten new ones. She says she only writes for herself and worries about the rest later. If that is the case, then there is nothing wrong with making the reader wait an extra year or two if it would result in a better book. J.K. Rowling made us wait three years or more in between books, and nobody resented her for it. It was well worth the wait!

"Breaking Dawn" was not.
