Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4)

** spoiler alert **
Well, I can honestly say this is the worst book I have ever read in my entire life. (No, I didn't think it was possible when I read Twilight that any other book could suck that much, I stand corrected). First, lets begin with the positives:
-The pack dynamics. Jacob being Alpha was very interesting, I loved the Clearwaters.
-Leah and Jacob. I loved their relationship and how Jacob finally understands how Leah is bleeding inside. Damn, why couldn't he have imprinted on HER!?
So, let's begin with the loooonnnnnggggg list of negatives. (Yes, two positives, it sucked that much).
Where do I begin? Oh right:
-Naturally, the book starts with Bella complaining about the missile proof car Mister Controlling gave her. Even when people are looking at her car, she's terrified of the spotlight being put on her. *rolls eyes*
-The wedding was horrible. Not enough detail, and Bella didn't even look in a freaking MIRROR!
-Bella tells Jacob that she and his rival are going to have a "real" honeymoon? WTF!
-The wedding night! This is the ONE thing I've been looking forward to since the beginning, the one thing I knew that would make this series worth while. WRONG! Meyer gives virtually no detail but that Edward ripped the pillows. Okayyyy....
-The pregnancy. Meyer has said constantly that vampires can't have children. And now she just ditches her own rule completely. She thinks: Scratch that, I want to put in some type of plot so lets give Bella eternal happiness and a baby!
-Bella's transformation. Okay, we get you're burning. Could you actually show us how it feels and not tell us? And the hunting scene. Yawn. I felt as if I was watching some paranormal nature channel: "The vampire stalks its prey, turning precisely ten inches to the north, turning in a one-eighty and jumps. And did you see Edward's glorious hair?"
-Jacob. My favorite character in the Twilight series turns into a pedophile. I knew Meyer was going to ruin him.
-The name. Renesmee. That poor poor child! Why would you do such a crime to your own BABY?
-The Cullens. There was pretty much no mention of these awesome characters, and Alice turned into this one dimesional character who just likes shopping!
-The vampires. Uh, I thought special powers were rare?
-The fight and the fact that there was none. All the suspense, building, building, and then, no fight. Aro suddenly decides to be the good guy and leave!
And last but not least:
-The happy ending. Bella gives nothing and gets everything in return. Particularly, Edward and Jacob. You can't have both. You either choose your human life and Jacob or completely abandon them and live the rest of your life with Edward. You can't have everything you want. Meyer decided to reject every rule she'd created for herself and do everything in her power to give Bella a happy ending. Well, on the bright side, I'm finished with the hell Meyer has created, and I'm DONE with Bella and Edward! (No chance now of me reading Midnight Sun). I'm FREE!
-The pack dynamics. Jacob being Alpha was very interesting, I loved the Clearwaters.
-Leah and Jacob. I loved their relationship and how Jacob finally understands how Leah is bleeding inside. Damn, why couldn't he have imprinted on HER!?

I actually quite enjoyed the book, but I think that is probably because I waited a couple of weeks before starting it. I heard all the bad press so I didn't get my hopes up. (Does that even make sense?)
All the things that you point out as negativesm I agree with. How you listed them cracked me up. Seriously, what kind of name is Renesmee? A thing that bugged me was how Bella so selfishly picked up the names for boy or girl without even consulting Edward.
Anyway, I thought you'd like this... I was reading the 8/15/08 issue of Entertainment Weekly and they did a little synopsis of the book (they gave it a "D" rating). There is a little sidebar that goes like this: "Some think Bella makes a lousy role model, but Meyer tells EW: 'If you want to be a mom more than anything, you should get to.'"
WHAT?! First, that quote doesn't really seem to go with their question of role-model-ish-ness (yes, I'm making up words today), but to me that quote from Meyer's says: I don't care what I said in the other books up to this point about vampires having babies or the fact that I've never mentioned Bella wanting a baby, I can do whatever I want because I'm the author.
By the way, Ms. Meyer, Bella makes a terrible role model.


"Meyer writes about even furniture-wrecking sex with the decorum of a Victorian schoolmistress."




Really, really retarded.

Someone posted this on one of the groups I'm in the other day, I think you will like it!!

Rachel, I despised the fact that there was no fight. It made me hungry for blood. Renesmee just seemed to be in there because Meyer couldn't think of anything else for a plot line. Ridiculous.
April, wow, most accurate review of BD ever? That's a high compliment. I LOVED that review! And so very true, too.

Happy Reading! Let me know how you like Wicked though.
hey emma can i put this up on a twilight haters group???? like do i have ur permission
