Product Description:
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.

- What age group was she writing for??
I read this whole series as my young teenage daughter and all of her friends are seriously obsessing about them. I am still trying to figure out which age group the author and her editor (if she used one) really meant these books for! It all starts out so Romeo and Juliet and then the whole thing falls apart. The 18 year old getting married and skipping college and basically isolating herself from the entire world for a guy...what bold choices she makes...what dreams she chases. Such an empowering message. Afraid to get older than her stuck-at-17- boyfriend?

But the part that takes the cake in the age inappropriate award category is the whole get married so we can have sex, get pregnant, carry a baby to term under any circumstances (here the near or real death of the mother) and the incredibly messy yucky birth scene. What young teenager wants to read this? This is so out of touch with reality! ... Read More

- A disappointing end-relatively spoiler free
I'll try not to spoil this for those who haven't read it yet.
Okay, First the good parts: We finally get a look inside Jacob's head. I know a lot of people hated this part, but I felt he was the only interesting character, and, despite being female, the only character I could relate to. He's also the only character who actually develops after Twilight. He's the only reason I gave this review 2 stars instead of 1.
The bad parts: The rest of the book. While Twilight was an intriguing new twist on an old story, the writing and plot throughout the rest of the series falls apart. From the 2nd book on, Bella is selfish, obsessive, worthless, has no redeeming qualities, nor is there any character development for her. She is so unrealistic that she becomes impossible to relate to. I honestly hoped she would die just because she's so annoying. Edward could easily be replaced with a loaf of bread-he has no personality ... Read More

- Loved the whole series
I really liked the whole series and I'm sad that it's over. I spent more time just reading and enjoying it than picking it apart like other reviews. What's relaxing about trying to find mistakes in the book instead of just reading?

Rating:

- Disappointing and too long
I enjoyed the first 2 books in this series, but Ms. Meyer seriously ran out of steam in Book 3. I bought Book 4 just to see how the story ended. Other negative reviewers have done a good job discussing the problems with this book, and the series overall, so I won't repeat those criticims.

My main issue is that great epics require the heroines and heroes to overcome great challenges, make choices, and make sacrifices. Endings are not 100% happy. If they were, what would be the point of the story? Even in classic fairy tales and myths, the protagonists grow and learn through overcoming challenges and making sacrifices. Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, even Star Trek and Star Gate and Anne Rice's vampire novels demonstrate this.

In addition, the editing and publishing was poor (numerous grammatical and printing errors). Way too much dialog.
