Breaking Dawn was one of the most anticipated books...ever. Twilight fans across the country were waiting for what seemed like an eternity for August 4th to roll around so they could scramble to the nearest bookstore to get a copy. I went that very day and picked up my copy because I absolutely could not wait to see what unfolded in the end of Edward & Bella's journey.
Well folks, I have to say, this one was not nearly as good of a read as the first 3 books in this series. The story picks up where Eclipse left off and Bella still finds herself torn between her love of Edward and her friendship with Jacob and Victoria is still after her. I don't want to spoil the book, but I will say that Edward and Bella's wedding was in the beginning...followed by some highly illogical events...but anyways, I was personally disappointed. I was not only disappointed that this would be the last book in the series, but the series of events threw me for a loop.
Either way, I've warned before, if you pick up one of these books in the series it is like an addiction. Let's just call it cocaine...you don't start cocaine unless you intend to keep doing cocaine because of it's highly addictive and alluring nature...same thing with the Twilight series. So it's understandable that you go read it even after hearing that it's not the greatest, I did. The book wasn't terrible, it just didn't play out like I would have wanted it to.

ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you, Coran. That book left me literally writing a list of reasons why it made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Of course, you HAVE to read it because, well...it's the last book. But much like most other series, writer's lose their grace while trying to throw together a finale.
