5 out of 5 stars I want more!!!   January 13, 2009
Barbara Hughes-hudson (West Yorkshire)
109 out of 118 found this review helpful

OKay, so I am 27 years old and was an original "I am not bothered about some tortured teenage romance story! I am a Grown Up!"....but once I read Twilight I was hooked. I have now read all 4 of the series and Breaking Dawn was the best. In Eclipse we left off with Bella & Edward arranging their Marriage (well, Alice was) and were looking forward to seeing them live Happily ever after....Forever. Simple....or so we thought. The book is split into 3 parts, first Bella's story, then Jacob's, then back to Bella. There is a huge reason for this and I don't want to spoil too much but anyone who has read Eclipse probably already has an idea about why this is the case. It's a great twist! I expected (there's a clue) the first part of the plot but the second hit me like a juggernaut!! It was sensational...and also made complete sense...why did I not see it before!!! I couldn't put this down! This book also reveals the extent of Bella's strength as a Human and more and how her and Edward were meant to be more than ever. To say I am nearly 30 years old has me slightly ashamed of how passionate I am about this "teenage" series but then I thought what the heck! It's an old fashioned love story with a new modern edge...a Romeo & Juliet with Vampires & Werewolves instead of Motagues & Capulets. For anyone who is still not sure about the whole series I urge you to continue until you have reached the end of the Twilight Journey....it's one you won't want to miss!


5 out of 5 stars A more intense and grown up read   June 28, 2010
Ms. J. C. Caswell (UK)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

The final install from this gripping series is definitely more intense and adult than the first three books. In fact since reading the book and now knowing it's content I'm quite surprised that I was pointed in the direction of the children's section in Tesco's to find it. It's going to be very interesting to see how this is made in to a suitable film given some of the graphic scenes in it. Stephanie writes absolutely perfectly for a younger audience, she sets the scene and your imagination can do the rest and that's then perhaps limited to your age bracket at the time of reading.

I have read all four books in less than two weeks and have savoured every word. I have never been so hooked on a set of books before and miss Edward and Bella already knowing I won't be reading about them when I get in to bed at night.

In New Moon and Eclipse I really struggled to like Jacob and didn't understand Bella's feelings towards him at all. I was almost disappointed to see a whole section of this book dedicated o Jacob and considered skipping it altogether, but I'm glad I read on and I came to like Jacob very much.

Although I imagine that Stephanie will be bored of vampires by the time Breaking Dawn has finished in the cinema in a few years time, she has still left this open to return and I for one would love it... after all, Bella and Edward have forever!


4 out of 5 stars A must-read book - sad to see the end of the Saga! (Some spoilers)   November 12, 2009
Easterchick (Warwickshire)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Well, I'll start by saying how sad I am to say that I've finally come to the end of the series - as a mum of 2 I never imagined that I'd get drawn into an entirely plausible (but obviously imaginary!) world of vampires and werewolves but there you go!

From the start I've been impressed by how Stephenie M has managed to make a typical villain (the vampire) almost loveable - no mean feat. As with other reviews, I was desperate to see what sort of vampire Bella would become and how the relationship between Edward and Bella would evolve.

I was also a little disappointed on several fronts; firstly, how easily Bella's father accepted that she had become a vampire (I mean, you'd be a bit annoyed really, wouldn't you?). Secondly, how easy Bella found vampire life, when the other three books have been building up the first year to be a complete nightmare. A little bit of a struggle, maybe almost biting one of her friends - anything to build up the tension really? And finally, how much was made of the battle with the Volturi, but at the end they seemed to shrug their shoulders and walk away.

So whilst I thoroughly enjoyed the book and have loved the whole series, I was left feeling as if Stephenie M was getting a bit bored of writing about the vamps towards the end, and so tied up the ends as quickly as she could without ensuring that she did so in the most believable way.


5 out of 5 stars One word: Amazing! *NO SPOILERS* for those of you who havn't read it yet!   August 6, 2008
Elizabeth (Brighton, UK)

Breaking Dawn is a fitting end to the story of Bella, Edward and Jacob, and all the other characters we have come to know and love. Meyer really has a way with words, painting a scene exquisitly without boring the pants off the reader with too much detail! It is a very long book, and in fact it has three 'mini' books within, from the viewponts of Bella, Jacob, and then Bella again repectively, and yet I felt that every word was required, and I actually wanted more and more - I didn't want to let go of the story, and I read the whole book in one sitting (losing some sleep along the way too). The POW switch to Jacob is interesting, if not a tad irritating at first, because the reader gets that much more of an insight to is suffering and (in his mind) rightful hatred of the 'bloodsuckers'.

There are lots and lots of unexpected twists and turns in BD (perhaps a reason for some of the very harsh reactions against Breaking Dawn - it's not the book many fans expected it to be, however for me it had everything I expected and more, so surely that's a bonus?), with new plot lines and ideas, and new and old characters; in particular, I really felt that the reader comes to know the Cullen family properly, and to love them too. They have always been interesting minor characters in the previous three books (with the exception of Alice perhaps-she was always more of a major character), but in BD they all come to life beautifully.

Some readers would argue that the characters change personalities in BD, Bella in particular; I would say rather that all that she has been through is finally making its mark. She goes through two life-changing events in this book, and comes out all the more stronger for it. She was always stubborn, and I found that her personality developed and sharpened, which seemed a more natural development than if she had stayed exactly the same as the Bella we all know and love in the previous three books.
Other characters that undergoe a welcome development and grow from the 2 dimensional characters that they were before, are Jasper and Leah. We get an insight into both of their actions and behaviour in the previous books, and I for one found Jasper to be all the likeable instead of the cautious and slightly indifferent character we were faced with in Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse.

Not so much as a review from this point but a bit of a rant:
I really don't know why everyone hates the book so much! I think Stephenie Meyer is a victim of her own success, with fans writing their own version of events in their heads and developing Bella and Edward into people that that they never were! I'm not saying the BD is perfect, and neither were the previous 3 books in my opinion, but the characters behave exactly how you would expect them to, in accordance to how Meyer has portrayed them and bulit them up in the previous novels. They are S Meyer's creation, so she can do what she wants with them.

I knew a few spoilers before I read the book, so maybe I enjoyed it more because I was expecting less...there are some aspects of the book that I understand that some people might be less than happy with, with some scenes a bit more graphic than people might be used to. I personally wasn't offended by them and actually thought they added to the tension and drama of the plot, but I know this isn't the same for all readers.
I do, however, truely believe that the plot follows the only path it can (at the risk of sounding corney. I'm trying really hard not to give spoilers here people-harder than you think).
SM knew the outcome of the saga before she even wrote Twilight, and I think that that really shows: everything really comes together at the end, and I could really imagine how life would continue for all the characters beyond the pages. Some people were upset by the 'neat little package', but Hello? reality check: It's a book for teenagers (mostly) and it's S Meyer's first venture as an author; who wouldn't want to exert the power of the creator and make sure everything turns out just the way you want it to?
Sorry, I know im going a bit off the point here, but I can't help it, and if you enjoy BD as much as I did then you'll feel the same! NB: I was fully prepared to hate the book btw, I'm not giving it 5 stars just beacuse so many people have slated it! It deserves every one in my opinion.

Also, just to say, some people have been making a huge fuss about really small things, such as a name and a nickname for example, and I really think that's unfair on Stephenie! Yes, the nickname is a bit...well, yes, stupid, but the characters of the book themsleves admit this! It's not like they're living in a hunky dory world picking flowers and watching rainbows. The main characters react EXACTLY how they should act, and if anyone who's read the previous three books would know their personalities by now and should recognise that as truth. I think people should stop pasting their own faces over Bella and imaginag how they would have done things differently, and just accept that what Bella does is a consequense of her personality!
Not that it isn't a bit annoying but hey...

And back to the review...:
Anyway, enough of the rant. If you cancel your order, or decide not to give 'Breaking Dawn' a chance to even win you over as the other three books have done, all because of some stupid spoilers and rumours and bad reviews, then you will be missing a stunning conclusion to the saga. I'm still thinking about the book now, and when I finished it I actually sat in silence, in awe, for a few moments...please keep an open mind and enjoy BD like it deserves to be enjoyed!! Thank you :)


5 out of 5 stars the end.........   June 2, 2009

I heard the movie was good but i prefer reading and so i bought the book "twilight", within 3 chapters i couldnt stop reading....I got twilight on the thursday, by the following monday i had read all of the saga. Ive seen a fair amount of reviews that say they are older than the target market, as am i at 32, but really anyone, at any age could love this story. I even had tears in my eyes reading "New Moon", the empath in me could FEEL Bella's pain ...good grief, a book making me cry, a first for me !
I love Stephanies style and i love the attention to detail. Nothing gets on my nerves more than lose ends in a book that the author just seems to forget about, but Stephanie didnt forget anything that i wanted to know. Having read the last book "breaking dawn" I wasnt disappointed as i feared i might be by some anti climax..the ending was great....However I am now left with sadness that its the end of the journey, i miss Forks and all the characters already and i want to go back! And thats what a great book will do to you, escapsim so real that you start to forget reality !
I think some people miss the point of the fact its a book, an escape, a journey, whatever you want to call it and start critising things that really dont matter. Yes Bella can be over the top etc but... If you cant put a book down, if a book can make you laugh, cry and fall in love, then someone must be doing something right dont you think..well i do and i miss them already!
