:D

There will be so many new Renesmee/Jacob shippers now!

Ah...spoiler-ish.

Somehow, I highly doubt that. The premise is unappealing in the freakiness factor. Lol. Jacob shacking up with Bella's daughter? That'll be great when they start dating. "Remember that time I kissed your mom. Man, you're better than her."
Riighht. :D

Oh. My. God. I just finished book two. Holy freaking crap.

OMGOMGOMGOMGGGGGG!

This book is, like, truly addicting. I'm 3/4ish done.



!!!!!!!!!!

I'm too poor to buy it, so I put it on hold at the library.

I'm #207.

I'm already done. I finished it last night because this stupid cough won't let me sleep.

It was ok. I'll have to read it again, because my overall impression is a little lackluster. So I'll just wait to post anything meaty until I read the book again in a better state of mind.

hmm...
i might actually read this one all the way through...

I just bought it like 20 minutes ago.

I love Stephenie's taste in music :D

Here is my (cynical) take on the book....

Serious spoiler alert.

Once upon a time, there was a teenage girl who fell madly in love with a vampire. Said girl had many adventures and suffered several hardships with this vampire, and the first three books were pretty damn good, if not a little, ah, "fluffy." She wanted to be immortal to, and she also wanted to have sex with him as one of her last "human experiences." I'm cool with all of this, until Edward decides that he needs to save her "Virtue." Even that isn't so bad for me, but it sucks that this girl is so strongly opposed to it.

So here we are in Breaking Dawn, Woot!, and this girl is barely the same person. She's suddenly the happiest person in the world to be married, and everything is happiness and light... And then the honeymoon... all of this I'm baring with, okay with it all...

And then she's pregnant and refusing to kill the thing that's killing her.

Why did the book have to go with way? Why did I spend the last half of the last few days reading about a pregnant 18 year old who was suddenly obsessed with being a mother?

I'm not saying I blame Bella, really, or Edward or Jacob or ever really Rosalie, but I am saying that Meyer must be crazy. I regard her as an amazing author, but why a child?

I feel like this book was not what I wanted from it. The unexpected I'm fine with, and once Renesmee was out (omg what a HORRIBLE name, and it's origins are pretty stupid.)was out, she wasn't as dominating as I thought she'd be, but this was too much for me.

If you see it differently, I'm kind of hoping you'll share your insight. I'm a pretty cynical person (Ahaha, gee, ya think?) and really did like the first three books. Am I alone in my dislike for Breaking Dawn?

mod edit - merged with previously created Breaking Dawn thread. Please try to search (and look, this thread was on the first page) before creating a new thread. I put spoiler tags in for you as well. Nice review though. =) - Rebs

^ I sort of agree with you,I'm not really liking the book so far.
Actually it's pretty boring. Only some parts are interesting to me.

That's like Albus Severus in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Honestly, why do authors name their characters like this?

I bought a copy of BD today and managed to get chocolate ice cream on page seven. Great.

1) OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2) i hated the name thing in HP. but i really like this name. its really unique.
3) OH. MY. GOD! a KID?! i would have never have guesed. i LOVE it!
4) the book is everything i wanted and more.
5) i dont hate jacob as much anymore. (only because he isnt a threat to edward )
6) i knew alice was up to something when she left. DUH! like she would acctualy leave.
7) ^poor page 7
8) i cried when the were saying goodbye to renesmee. so f**king sad...
9) did charlie ever know that bella was a vamp? or jut that she wasnt human?
10) it was perfect.

I have a lot of weird things going on in my book. There's a 3D sticker on my page 37 or something,two pages were stuck together,some markings here and there.

oh and, I'm so sad Jasper & Alice left! :C

poor book. mine was perfect untill i got a drop of chocolate milk on the one page and a bit of pizza on another. oops. i was proud of myself, i didnt dog ear one page. well, okay. one. but no more. i treated the book like gold.

Yeah ok the names really really bugged me. I mean really, it is pretty cool she wanted to name the kid after people in her life, but the combinations she came up with sucked. Now poor Renesmee has to go through eternity being called "Nessie". I did laugh when Bella went after Jacob for that though.

I thought the Jacob POV section was incredibly boring. Other than that, I really don't have an qualms. As usual, I hate Bella. She's really not a likable character if you think about it. She's not funny, she's not really unique, she's sort of... lackluster if you ask me.

I dislike Renesmee's name with a passion. Like WTF man? Renesmee Carlie Cullen? It's really bad; like seriously, seriously bad. But... I do sort of think the idea of Renesmee's sort of cool. Even though some people are creeped out with the whole Jacob/Bella then Jacob/Renesmee thing, I sort of see potential in that. Renesmee also sort of seems to be cooler than Bella.

I think the ending was anticlimactic. I mean, the entire Volturi clan or whatever comes over and they basically just... talk a lot. And that's it! No fight, no nothing.

But I guess I'm happy that Bella and Edward finally get to have sex and a happy ending.

I completely agree with the Jacob book. I actually like him, I'm Switzerland all the way but man, if that's his "voice", I'm sort of put to sleep by him. Bella, well, I'm back and forth on her. The more I read the series (I am avid re-reader and am actually working on my second go around with BD), the more disdain I feel for her.


Oh GOOD! I see a few people have this sentiment. The first time I read the name I actually that it was a joke. lol At least it wasn't "Bedward" or "Edwella". Although, she's narcissistic enough... lol



LOL I was like, seriously? One death? And not even a main character? Not that I wished for anyone to die but, really? I like idea of all the clans coming together - sort of like the Quidditch World Cup or something in the Twilight universe. Cinematically that has a lot of potential, should the movies stretch that far and let's face it, the world is commercial enough to do it should the first film prove a financial success (and I imagine it will, for at least for the first few weekends).

I don't know. I'm still ho hum about the whole thing.

I think the book could've been better as a movie

So who though the whole Kate/Garrett relationship was adorable?
Other than that Breaking Dawn was a total train wreck......The end was nice; but getting there sucked. It seemed rushed....or like maybe Meyer searched fanfics randomly and pieced the story together. An incubus? WTF? Anyway.....I'm seriously going to make a Kate/Garret fansite, they owned.

REALLY?! i liked it. i was shocked at myself for it, but it was good.




ME ME ME! i saw it coming when he had her use her gift on him it is SO cute!!!

I JUST GOT IT!
pulling an all nighter. <3

^ JUST NOW?! what are you doing on here?!

.....

She really dropped the ball on this one. I mean, it was nice to know the ending and everything, but, this one was just..slow.


Tooootaaalllyyyyy dropped the ball. x758943026574032657432543

the only part i though was slow was the end, where they stood up to the vultori (totaly spelt wrong )

oh.
my.
god.

^
i know ... so much blackness...

so now that I'm over the shock...
this didn't feel like Bella and Edward's story at all. the book was good and all, but Meyer changed the tone completely. it was like another random book. if it weren't for the whole vampire/human/wolf, wedding, and so on...you could have picked it up and basically gotten it if you hadn't read the first three.
like I said, it was good, but it wasn't right. it's not like the other books.

am i the only one who is happy with it the way it is???

I was pretty happy with it until I got to the second part. I really didn't like that part AT ALL. It seemed unnecessary and pointless to have there. I guess it was better than reading about how sick Bella was, though.
And I mostly agree with RockItStudios..it didn't seem to be telling their story very much. I thought it did pretty well up to the end of part one, where it was just dumb.
I was very disappointed by the end. Just talking? No epic battle? ONE death? That was really upsetting. And I guess I would've been fine with that if it hadn't finished and then the book was pretty much over. I don't know why that bothered me, but it seemed REALLY rushed (after the Volturi left)
I did like most of part three though.
I'd say it's a good book though, and was worth buying.

ugh. all the black bars are bugging me

^ Me too. Let's put a warning, everything after this point will not be spoiler marked. YE BE WARNED!



....


The end with just talking with the Volturi, yeah, BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. I WANTED ACTION DAMMIT!

Oh, and Edward just seemed a bit too indifferent towards Reneesme. Maybe because in the beginning he just wanted to kill her. *shrug*



It did just seem like another random book. I'm happy that its finally done and then we can just scrutinize all the movies when they come out. :D

Actually I loved the book, specially because I saw the whole pregnancy thing comming. But not the inprinting that was sooo coolll! at least jacob will be happy too.

^ i skipped ahead to the end of jacobs POV and i read the last page so, yeah. i saw it coming

I went ahead and edited a spoiler alert in the subject title.

People have been warned, so there shouldn't be a problem and the book's been out about a week now. Most people I know have already read the entire thing.

So from this point on, don't worry about spoiler tags.

I agree,Bella didn't sound 18,she sounded a lot older.

^ agreeeeed!
thats kinda why, i was pretty disappointed in the book.

i just finished the book today =D
hmm, the book was okay, i liked the other three better tho.
the whole having a kid part really shocked me.
i so did not expect that x)

I just finished it, finally.

I have to say... I really didn't want them to have a kid. I was really hoping that they would get rid of it... All the books have been soley based on Edward and Bella and now this.. Eh.

But Seriously the Book Two in Jacob's mind was really terrible. It seemed like Bella didn't even love Edward - there was ZERO Edward/Bella affection going on.

And then throughout the whole book it doesn't even seem like Edward has anything to do with his daughter... usually there is that whole daddy's little girl thing, but Meyer didn't portray anything of the like.

I liked the beginning and ending a lot.. but the whole pregnancy and birth stages were so hard to read, it got me really angry.

really? i loved it. aww littlerenesme

I'm a little bit sad because this love story has ended, and Meyer has change my point of view when it comes to men, because I wnat someone like Edward...so yeah it's a bit sad...

im so happy to finaly hear what edward was thinking all that time! and what he did all night other than just stare at bella

XD You guys don't need to use spoiler tags anymore.

THANK GOD!!! highlighting sucks

Me neither, but like you said, I'm probablly going to end up reading it too.

I have to say, I was disappointed with the book. Officially, I hate Edward.

I thoguht Edward was annoying. He was such a two-face jerk to Jacob. If anything, he should've been little more grateful towards him!

Hmm...you don't think she's going to write another book about Jacob/Nessie in the future? Now that would be...bizarre.


FLIPPING NPS HFIEHGFUOERNFGD.

EXACTLY! i mean look at the robert love now compared to the hate he had at first. . people will grow to love it.

Meh... I still don't like Robert Pattison as Edward.
And I'm not a huge fan of Kristen Stewart... I think she is too lanky for Bella. When I picture her blushing, I expect like... these pinchable cheeks. Stewart has like no meat to her face, or any of her for that matter.

i couldn't agree with you more.

well stephenie is working on the book through edward's eyes, is she just going to make that one book or go through all 4? because that would be such a bitch to write & to re-read the same story again. just through a different perspective.

i think the ending to breaking dawn was just perfect. i mean there doesn't need to be an extension to it with jacob & renesme.

they've imprinted so it's not like you can really write much afterward about that. it's obvious that they're going to get married or be lovers for the end of time. it's like a done deal. nothing else to talk about.
i think she ended the series very well.

^ LOL!

^^ lmao
i like the first one
