Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

Breaking Dawn (Twilight Saga, #4)

by Stephenie Meyer

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, she has endured a tumultuous year of temptation, loss and strife to reach the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fate 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?

I have finally managed to finish the Twilight saga. After loving Twilight, enjoying New Moon, not remembering Eclipse (oops), I have now completed Breaking Dawn. And... well, I'm glad to have finished it.

I enjoyed Breaking Dawn, don't get me wrong. I felt it was just as readable as the rest of the books, but I also felt it was way too much for one book. 700 pages is just, it's like a mountain. And I found my attention waning for the last 100 pages and I'm not entirely sure exactly what went on with the Volturi. I found myself around page 550 just wanting to be done with it.

Jacob's POV was strange at first, but I got used to it and quite enjoyed it. I've always loved Jacob. It was a satisfying end, really. I liked it. Glad it's over, though. Can't wait to see the rest of the movies (Eclipse and the two Breaking Dawns).
