Editorial Review:Amazon.com Review:Great love stories thrive on sacrifice. Throughout The Twilight Saga (
Twilight,
New Moon, and
Eclipse), Stephenie Meyer has emulated great love stories--
Romeo and Juliet,
Wuthering Heights--with the fated, yet perpetually doomed love of Bella (the human girl) and Edward (the vampire who feeds on animals instead of humans). In
Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final installment in the series, Bella’s story plays out in some unexpected ways. The ongoing conflicts that made this series so compelling--a human girl in love with a vampire, a werewolf in love with a human girl, the generations-long feud between werewolves and vampires--resolve pretty quickly, apparently so that Meyer could focus on Bella’s latest opportunity for self-sacrifice: giving her life for someone she loves even more than Edward. How close she comes to actually making that sacrifice is questionable, which is a big shift from the earlier books. Even though you knew Bella would make it through somehow, the threats to her life, and to her relationship with Edward, had previously always felt real. It’s as if Meyer was afraid of hurting her characters too much, which is unfortunate, because the pain Bella suffered at losing Edward in
New Moon, and the pain Jacob suffered at losing Bella again and again, are the fire and the heart that drive the whole series. Diehard fans will stick with Bella, Edward, and Jacob for as many twists and turns as possible, but after most of the characters get what they want with little sacrifice, some readers may have a harder time caring what happens next. (Ages 12 and up) --

Product Description:When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved? 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, a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates 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?
The astonishing, breathlessly anticipated conclusion to the Twilight Saga,
Breaking Dawn illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.

I'm a 16 year old male teen. Even though this is a love story from a girls perspective and is def. intended for teenage girls, I thought the story was amazing and I couldnt put it down. All her books I had to force myself not to read it because I was reading them for hours.

Of all the books in this series, Breaking Dawn was my most favorite and fun to read....I think it wrapped everything up nicely, yet left the door open for another series of stories with the wonderful characters that Meyer has created. I recommend this series to all ages.

I don't understand why people hate this book so much. I must admit, I'm not a fan girl, or Twilighter, or anything like that. I got dragged to see the movie, and after watching it, I felt it was a good enough story to spend my money and time to read the books. (PSA: If you're over the age of 20, you'll be laughing at unintentionally funny scenes during the movie. I got glares from several teens sitting around me for that...)
Twilight (the book) was decent. The 2nd and 3rd books, not ...

I absolutely loved the first 3 books, I must have read them within 3-4 days. The love story was beautiful, capturing, and mind blowing..it seemed to get more intense once Jacob was involved. I couldn't wait to read the 4th addition..
If this book was mine (I borrowed it) I probably would have burned it by now. It was terrible..in fact, I read only half of it and then skimmed to the last chapter. I couldn't believe what I was reading.

I didn't hate Breaking Dawn like a lot of the twilight community did, but to say that I loved it is also a far cry from the truth as well. At first I loved the beginning; Edward and Bella finally got married and had a wonderful honeymoon, things were looking up, but then everything changed.
I feel like Meyer got stuck half way through, like she dug herself into this hole and had trouble getting out of it. There were points where the book dragged where you just wanted to say, "Oh come on ...
