When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?
To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs.
Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating, and unfathomable, consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella’s life–first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse–seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed… forever?
The astonishing, breathlessly anticipated conclusion to the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.
My Thoughts:
In the fourth, and final, installment of the hugely popular Twilight Series, Breaking Dawn follows the exploits of human Bella, vampire Edward, werewolf Jacob, and the supporting cast of characters, including the Cullen vampire coven and Bella’s father, Charlie. I am a fan of the series, but I did not love this book. There were many times that I just said “WTF?” I didn’t understand why the characters did what they did. I can’t really go into detail without giving away plotlines, but this book just left me feeling disappointed. I was happy with the outcome, but the path to the outcome was really bizarre and didn’t make much sense to me. I didn’t feel that the characters were true to who they are and it was a bit frustrating to read at times. That’s really all I can say without spoiling it. I’d give this one 3 stars.
This book falls into the following 2010 challenges:
I agree… this one was out there!
Yeah, this definitely wasn't a great book. What bothered me as that hundreds of pages are spent building up to some big showdown, then absolutely nothing happens. It was a big letdown.–AnnaDiary of an Eccentric
I thought the same thing when I read it. I'm kind of afraid of how its going to translate when they do the movie version of this one. This book just didn't grab me like the other three did.
