I hated breaking dawn to the last period.
Except where Leah C. yelled at Bella.
I was so appalled at how S.Meyer executed the final to a rather derogatory series.
The books were completely anti-feminist and by the end of the book, I was drowning in Bella’s Mary-Sue-ness.
I thought that Leah and Jacob would end up together considering there is a thin line between love and hate. They have so much in common, and then BAM!
Demon seed pops out with a horrible name and Jacob completely forgets his morals and lecture about imprinting.
Anticlimactic and boring, especially through the J.Jenks thing ( I literally fell asleep during that), and an ending that has me puking Mary-Sue-ness yet again. I found BD trashy, and poorly written.
Leah was one of the only character with a backbone, except for maybe Rosalie, and S.Meyer said she would definitely write Leah’s story was she to add another chapter to Twilight Saga. I was screaming ‘NOOO’! When I heard that.
Please just let this be the final chapter to the Saga that you are writing and let me be satisfied with at least my own ending.
I’m GLAD she stopped writing

@Emma:
same here…..it was goddamn sexist…..bella was a total loser, with no ambitions and desires in life, and she surely didn’t deserve the “perfect” edward…though I can’t say I liked Edward any more than I did bella!

I personally loved each and every book. I enjoyed the story and I was happy with the happy ending. There is so much crap going on in this world the readings stephenie myers books helped me escape even if it was just for a little while. I understood what stephanie was trying to project through her story, i understood each and every character and what there roles were in Bella’s story. I also think that reneesmee is so very cute and i love the descriptions of her and her abilities. I dont care what anyone says each and everyone of the twilight saga books were great. My personal favorite was Eclipse I could read tat book over and over again. The only thing that bummed me out was that the sex scenes were not described in a better way, the lack of info left me wanting more.

I absolutely loved the twilight series. sure i was a little bored with the second but after that it went completely uphill. they were awesome. and for the record im not gay im just the only guy who has a taste for romance. it is an awesome book for the lonely. it just helps them wish and dream that things will happen to them. i boo the people putting down this book series because they dont know real literature when they see it.

I would just like to say, thanks for all your very negative reviews here, it is SO appreciated. I have not had a chance to go out and buy Breaking Dawn yet, but after reading all your horrible and then again not so horrible reviews/comments, it just made me much more eager to go and get it today! How about ya all try and write something as entertaining… then bad mouth each other’s work? Good luck!

I love great literature and while Stephenie Meyer doesn’t fall into this category by a long shot, I can say without embarassment that I did in fact enjoy Twilight, and for that matter all the books in the Twilight Saga. Why? Because it met my entertainment needs. Do I think there is a self-fulfilling theme within the books with the clumsy new girl attracting the interest of the most attractive teenager in her new school? Yes, and no. Yes, because the central theme is the love story throughout the saga. No, because Edward would never have given her a second look if it wasn’t for his thirst for her blood, specifically her blood. (I think Meyer accounts for this quite well in New Moon – the explanation anyway). This is really the reason why the story even progresses past the first few chapters.
While Stephenie Meyer’s writing style leaves much to be desired with repetitive descriptions and clunky writing, the story is endearing. If the editors/agents involved had ensured that all the books were thoroughly checked and rewritten in key places instead of pushing for deadlines, I believe that the saga could have had a more positive response on a literary level. It is nonetheless disconcerting to crit a book in which you are constantly tripping over bad spelling and poor sentence construction.
Overall, I am a Twilight fan but these books could have been written so much better!

twilight will always be for me the best in the series, its the original. i saw the film before i read the book but i still found the book amazing. i got into it straight away because i found the characters really interesting. i couldn’t put it down. Then i read new moon and eclipse i really liked them too. i prefer jacob as a character to edward. i cried in eclipse. i am half way through breaking dawn. i know what happens in the end because my friends told me and i’m kind of disapointed that it ends with out a little bit of a battle or something. the battle in eclipse – that was good, and i liked the way that while the battle was going on, there was bella fighting a battle of her own. they should have had something like that and even though i would probrably be really upset at the characters dying i think one of the main people should have died ……………. one of the cullens or something add a bit more drama. tthe thing is though, people are dissapointed if an ending is too happy but someone would critisise any ending stephenie meyer wrote. however i am still finding breaking dawn quite good. the story line starts off good and happy for the characters exept jacob then it goes a bit wrong with bellas pregnancy because she is so ill and the people who love her don’t want her to die. then i guess it all ends well. if i didn’t no what was going to happen i might be a bit tense woundering wether bella would live or die then i might be relieved to find out she was going to be fine.

theres somthing that drew people to the twilight seiries and i think that it is generally teenage girls like myself who have really enjoyed reading them. there are some strong meanings in them about love and being human. and they have made me think alot. people also talk about them loads at school and stuff so i have heard lots of different opinions.

overall i think the twilight books are brilliant. stephanie meyer wrote them the way she wanted them to be.
