"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?"
Well, what can I say? I was really looking forward to reading this book. I have loved the series. Loved Twilight, really enjoyed New Moon and loved Eclipse and then we get Breaking Dawn, which in my opinion was very disappointing. So much so I rushed through the last 200 pages. I just could not be bothered to give it anymore of my time.
I thought the book started off well, and I was really enjoying it. But when a certain unexpected thing happens to Bella, for me it went down hill. I found myself slogging through the book instead of enjoying it.
It felt like I was reading an entirely different book, all the personalities of the characters seem to disappear, and the book just seemed empty. I felt it was far too long and the story was just dragged on and on....
But, although I disliked this book, I'm not going to put Stephenie Meyer down, as I really did enjoy the first three. She gave us Edward, Bella and Jacob. They are three of my most favourite characters. It's such a shame this book didn't live up to the other three (imo). For me the story ends with Eclipse.

Sorry you were let down by the final installment. For me I didn't like Eclipse at all and wasn't massively excited by New Moon. Twilight was by far the best and I did really enjoy Breaking Dawn too. I can't wait for Twilight to come out at the cinema's, I am really interested to see what they have changed from the books and how they have brought the characters to life. Looks like a sequel is planned too which will hopefully be called New Moon.
I am halfway through Breaking Dawn now and so far i am really enjoying it. I will stop by here when i finish and let you know if i still feel the same.
I hope you do carry on to enjoy it Jess.
I think I will give it another go in about a years time, when I re-read the series.
Hi Katie - I heard the movie isn't as good as the book. But then books are nearly always better.
Just thought i should say that i loved Breaking Dawn.
