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 |

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. |

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 This post has been edited by superstitious: Aug 4 2008, 12:01 PM

^ 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. |

once Renesmee was out (omg what a HORRIBLE name, and it's origins are pretty stupid.) 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. |

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. |

She's not funny, she's not really unique, she's sort of... lackluster if you ask me. 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. QUOTE I dislike Renesmee's name with a passion. Like WTF man?

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. 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 QUOTE 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. 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. |

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. |
