Editorial Review:

Product Description:

Like many others I absolutely loved the first 3 twilight books and read them back to back. I planned to wait for Breaking Dawn to come out in paperback but couldn't so bought it in hardback. I thought it started ok but definitely lost its way. I never wanted Bella to change as I felt that the charisma of the story in the forbidden and dangerous love for Edward; and his for her. I was right - the story went from supernatural to beyond ridiculous. It lost me when Bella became pregnant and I almost didnt finish it. The intense passion and feeling within the first 3 books was lost and I found myself deperately lookin for something that was not going to materialise.

In my view it felt that Stephenie Meyer tried too hard to complete a storyline and it didn't flow from her as the others had. There was a lack of depth in the characters and I felt no feelings towards Renesmee with Jacob blurring into the background. I would definitely read the other books again but my ending would definitely be with Eclipse.

If you enjoyed the the other books in the series, then you won't be disappointed with breaking dawn either. I really enjoyed it. Had difficultly putting it down, the only thing that persuded me to was the fact that I'd nearly finished and didn't want it to end.

Rating: - ******* I couldn't put it down
First time in a long time I have read a book that I can not put down. I'd get the bus instead of walking to the staion, just to get a few extra minutes reading in. Absolutely fabulous forth and final book of the Twilight series, Stephanie answers all of my buning questions that other authors would have left hanging. My only problem with this book is that it's the last in the series. Please Stephanie pick up the families and write another one. I want to know how she grows and the relatinship bossoms into love, to see how Edward handles this etc etc etc

Rating: - Not good at all...
I have to say I was very disappointed with this book. I feel that the whole series has been dragged out and could easily have been completed in 3 books, or at least this book be well written and half its size. I found myself very bored and just wanting it to get to where I knew it was going, instead of dragging it out over page after page with long boring drawn out conversations between the characters. It had me wishing "for goodness sake get on with it".

Once Bella is turned it loses the plot - funny how out of all the vampires, she manages to control herself. I know none of it is supposed to be believable, but making her struggle a little more and maybe one or two lapses would have been a vast improvement instead of her being Miss Perfect.

The bit about Jacob and imprinting on their daughter (how was she conceived anyway - Edward is a vampire?) doesn't sit very comfortably with me either. The imprinting thing I can go along with, it is fiction after all, but not when it is on babies.

It seems the way the vampires are and what they can do, was made up as Miss Meyer went along, to turn it into some sickly, twee love story of two totally perfect immortal beings and the happily ever after just had me shaking my head in disbelief.

The first book was really good and I enjoyed New Moon. I thought Eclipse could have been better, but did enjoy it to a degree, but this one should really have been thought out a little more - it's a great disappointment.
