 Unimpressed January 8, 2009
Several other reviews say exactly what I would have written here. Her previous books were much more interesting and climatic...
 BREAKING DAWN WAS EXCELLENT!!! January 8, 2009
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I personally thought that Breaking Dawn was excellent. Its even my favorite and I'm an older reader, so when I got hooked on the Twilight Saga- I was surprised. I think people should back off from Stephenie Meyer's back for her choice in plot. If anything, I see potential for working off from Breaking Dawn--I really really hope she does. She's a brilliant writer who creates brilliant plots.
Unrealistic Fairy Tale, Not Fable Ending January 8, 2009
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Five members of the family read this book (including four middle school/high school members) and overall it receives an average 2 rating (the first three all were ranked 5 stars). Honestly, as one reviewer already said, it felt like someone completely different wrote this book. I think that the more mature viewpoint of Edward and Bella (and baby), might have made more sense if a fourth book had transitioned their story (and Jacob's involvement in the triangle)to a fifth. Additionally, the conflict with the other vampires, which had been more of a subplot before, needed another book to transition to the major plot. Essentially, the first three books were fantasy/romance novels; this one read more like a fantasy/action adventure with a romance undertone. Jacob is the only character that seemed consistent with the past for most of the book (though his personality was a bit watered-down with the imprint issue) and the change in Bella's father was a major disappointment. At the end, we all found ourselves longing for a less "happily-ever-after" and a more "realistically-ever-after" ending.
 Last of Twilight Series January 8, 2009
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The final book drew the characters together very well in an interesting story line; but it wasn't her best in the saga since there were a few wild ideas thrown in that just didn't make sense to me. For example: a 1-2 month gestation period, and the rapid rate of growth of the child. We know from the example of Jesus Christ, being 1/2 mortal & 1/2 immortal, that His gestation period was the normal 9 months and He grew up in the normal fashion. The author's idea of changing that mortal process was farfetched, and the reader really got lost in fantasy land. I lost interest in the book after reading through that section, although I did finish it.
