Something he had fought against for a long time because he didn't want her to have to give up any human experiences and eventually regret becoming a vampire.
Now he did it to save her. There was no other way. I wish I could have been in his head at this time though it would have been very depressing I'm sure.
Jacob too had to give in to letting her become a vampire to save her. So now not only was Bella changed into a vampire, but she was a mother and a wife.
So many changes so fast. Renesmee not fond of the name That name irritated me even more. I have to admit though it kinda freaked me out at first.
I don't blame Bella for wanting to tear him apart. Like me I don't think she could have ever imagined this happening.
This event was so significant. It released all the pain Jacob had to endure by being in love with Bella but knowing she would never be his.
At the same time it tied him to her permanently. He still loved her but in the way it should have always been. He loved her as a friend and nothing more.
She loved him as a brother like she always wanted. Everything was as it should be. So in the end the challenge was the Volturi.
Changed a child into a vampire when really Renesmee was the biological child of Edward and Bella. I cried the ugly kind, I was hysterical at a point when Edward and Bella said their quiet goodbyes to their daughter and Jacob when they thought they were about to die.
It was heart wrenching. It was so touching when Edward said to Jacob, "Goodbye Jacob, my brother Luckily in the end they were able to conquer because of Bella and her amazing gift to shield everyone she loved from the "special" gifts of the Volturi.
I thought it was wonderful to see Bella so powerful and strong. That for once she was able to be the protector instead of the one being protected.
She got to be the savior. This too made the unbreakable bond between her and Edward stronger. Because of her they were able to beat the Volturi and save their daughter that they loved more than anything.
Their family was intact. One of my absolute favorite parts there are so many I have to say was at the end when Bella removes her "shield" so Edward can read her thoughts.
Edward was NOT expecting this. Not being able to all this time has driven him mad at times. Especially when it came to Jacob. He always wondered if Bella made the right decision.
Now he knows without a doubt that she always loved him and that nothing can or ever will change that. Edward got to experience all the feelings she had for him as far back as she could remember.
He can know now without a doubt that they truly belong together. What a wonderful gift to give Edward. That Bella is one lucky vampire. I was so glad this book had the Happily Ever After ending.
Especially after all the horrible things that have occured in the past. Everything came together beautifully. I loved it.
I liked Jacob a lot more in this book in fact I laughed out loud several times at him. I also liked Bella a lot more when she became a vampire.
She wasn't as selfish and winey. I wanted to strangle her at times in the other books because of the way she treated Edward and even Jacob.
The pain she caused both of them in the past because of her own selfish desires. Everything for the characters is balanced or in line how it should be in their relationships.
I feel closer with the story now which I needed badly. These books totally consumed me to say the least. This was my favorite of the series by far.
It was filled with love, suspense, true friendship, loyalty, sorrow, happiness and so much more. I look forward to reading it again!
I don't think I will ever be able to find a series again that has affected me like this. These books are my favorites above all others! View all 68 comments.
Reviewer update Aug I have demoted the book from 5 to 4 stars. This is partly because I was so pleased by it compared to the last two books in the series that I overreacted.
But I also approve of her approach to the book and have rated it so highly in order to counteract those reviewers out there who hated it because they felt Bella was a bad example to young girls.
Read some of the reviews on Amazon or GoodReads and you will find a certain type of person who feels that Bella's character fails as a role model for young women today.
Because she, gasp, got married and had a child at a young age. Oh, my, what is the world coming to when young people choose eternal love and devotion!
Oh that more young women could be more like the implausibly articulate yet utterly selfish lead in the movie Juno! In my favorite example, one reviewer on Amazon claimed it wasn't credible that a girl as young as Bella would feel joy at sensing a baby growing inside her.
Women and men from every culture in every era of history have found a tremendous and peculiar satisfaction in their children. It doesn't matter where you believe this instinct came from, it's real and it manifests millions of times over.
Should we be so surprised that Stephenie Meyer would be one of the billions who believe this love to be real? Read the author's bio and it becomes clear: She was married at 21 before she finished college and had three children while still in her 20s.
But one can hardly call her a "failure" for choosing family first. By all standards she's fabulously successful and wealthy. Plus, she has a college degree one of the big beefs some people had with Bella's choice to postpone college.
Are we really surprised that Stephenie would see the world through rose-colored, happiness-prone glasses when her own life is exactly that, deliriously happy?
Social polemics aside for a moment. The one thing this book lacked was a satisfying climactic, apocalyptic battle royale between the forces of vampire good and vampire evil.
I know this book was intended to cap off a romance series, not The Lord of the Rings but there's a reason books of high fantasy all end in cataclysmic bloodshed.
It takes a conflict of such dramatic proportions to drive the point of a story deep into our minds. And the point of this story, if you weren't too focused on your own family planning to notice it, was worthy of such dramatic punctuation.
The real point of this book is that we can and should choose love. That despite our personal weaknesses and faults -- our immature attempts at love and our petty jealousies -- we can make important, permanent decisions that will tie us to other people, making their lives and our lives better in the process.
The battle I propose -- one I hope sees the light of day in a future novel -- would seal Bella's decisions and the decisions of her family and loved ones in a way that would render their commitments real.
Their marital love, their parental love, their familial love, and the love of fellowship with others who share their principles. Some would have to die to preserve the love they have made immortal.
Others would have to kill to do the same. Nothing is more final, especially for immortals. But they would do so to symbolize the triumph of their love over the petty dynasty of the Volturi and thus establish a global movement of vampires that respect human life and restrain their selfish hungers in deference to the greater good.
Something that wise humans do every day. Such a symbolic battle would take this series to the next level.
But even without it, this book is the best evidence that Meyer wasn't really writing a sloppy romance saga for misty-eyed girls, but was instead telling a story about the eternal power of love and self-denial.
I have been properly chided by many of these reviews for overreacting to the "Bella is a bad role model" flack and failing to acknowledge the principal flaw of this book.
Amy said it best below: Meyer shortchanged us by not forcing Bella to face any hard choices. Bella got everything she wanted, including a strange relationship with Jacob.
Nobody she loved got hurt -- which was the problem I did mention above -- and she never had to disappoint anyone. Given that a year has passed, I have some distance on all the whining that went on about Bella not being a protofeminist.
As a result, I should own up to the fact that this fourth book fails to deliver not only the climax I hoped for, but the real character crisis and development that a saga of this length should strive for.
Or that we all should strive for in our own lives, to go all metaphysical on you for a moment. So I have demoted the book from 5 stars to 4 and begun to ruminate on the topic of why Meyer -- a woman possessed of such clear imagination -- was unwilling or unable to make Bella's life hard.
Here's what I have come up with, for what it's worth: 1 - Meyer's own life is pretty darn pleasant. Let's be honest, she has everything most people think they want.
All of us who struggle to write books that nobody reads desperately wish for her success a fact that generates more than few snippy comments on Goodreads, I might suggest.
She has a whole community of women around her who adore her and come to all-night parties when she debuts a book or movie, just to be near her.
In the end, she might make Bella after her own image because she doesn't know that life ultimately requires pain.
For those not acquainted with the faith, Mormonism is a faith that believes everything will ultimately be okay.
If not in this life, then in the next. In fact, the whole vampire immortality gig is just a metaphor for the Mormon idea of the afterlife: You get to be with the ones you love forever, without pain.
In that way, Bella is a perfect reflection of the ideal Mormon eternity: God forgives us for our idiocy, acknowledges our flawed attempts at love by magnifying them and making them eternal.
Though this is only one side of Mormonism -- it's also a faith with sorrowful history of persecution. Mormons certainly suffer plenty in this life just like everyone else, so this explanation is only true to the extent that Meyer has willingly isolated Mormonism's view of the end state of humanity.
This is not only the most obvious but probably the strongest of my three explanations. We're so accustomed to watching James Bond run through the street with machine guns trained on him that never hit their mark that we no longer point out that Bond is completely implausible and ultimately unsatisfying as a character.
But we're not used to reading fiction in which women get everything they want. At least, I'm not. So we get tied up in knots about the lack of deeper meaning and pathos when in reality, Meyer never promised us a garden of sorrow and personal growth.
So even though I have to demote the book, I still feel like the saga was worth reading; both because of the fun I had teasing about its flaws but also because it gives me fodder for worthwhile introspection.
Oh, and it connected me to some great commenters who I now follow on Goodreads. View all 39 comments. Page - Had her body changed because she was a werewolf?
Or had she become a werewolf because her body was wrong? The only female werewolf in the history of forever. Was that because she wasn't as female as she should be?
Okay, it's always been obvious that the only things Smeyer finds important in life are marriage and babies, the younger the better, but what the fuck, y'all.
I am beyond disgusted at this. I'm disgusted at the statement that women who cannot have children are less than female, with the implication that the only point of being a woman is reproduction.
Which is bullshit. Families are great and all, but they are not the be-all-end-all of my double X's, and sterility does not change one's femininity.
Yeah, finished - well, meh. You mean to tell me you collect sixty vampires and nearly twenty werewolves-that-aren't in one place, and there isn't so much as a schoolyard rumble?
Come on. Things I liked - uh, Leah. Leah and Seth. Rock on, Clearwaters. These books are crack and have always been crack, but this was the bad crack.
That whole mess with chromosomes, and how vampires have 25 and humans have 23 which is why Alice can see their futures but she can't see werewolves' futures because they have 24, and the reason she can't see the bb is because it has the average of Bella and Edward - what the hell is that?
Other than complete and utter pseudo-intellectual laziness? It'd be better if she'd just handwaved it - honestly, it is a novel about vampires and werewolves ; it's FINE if you just throw up your hands and blithely say "Magic!
Don't judge. Predictions, for the lulz: -Jacob dies for max angst or imprints on non-Bella because I don't think Meyer has the guts to kill anyone off, honestly -Angela, as joked about in previous books, is revealed to be a witch -Alice is even more awesome and bribes Edward into giving her a Ferrari -Bella doesn't go vamp due to angst -Edward magically turns human and he and Bella get maaaaaarried and live as happy mundanes for the rest of their days -lots of angst and hopefully LOTS of sparkling, because, seriously.

You're not supposed to think about things. Especially not sex. Don't think about sex. Or you will be thinking about things you shouldn't be thinking about.
Don't think about boys. Thinking about boys lead This is a direct quote from Seth, Stephenie Meyer's brother and the person who runs her website.
Thinking about boys leads to thinking about holding hands and kissing, which leads to thinking about sex, which is bad. Don't wonder about how babies are made and don't ever wonder where you came from.
Clearly you popped out of your mother's vajayjay the instant your parents thought about having a child, like in The Sims 1. No sex involved.
Don't wonder if your parents still have sex. Newsflash: most parents keep having sex after their kids are born. And girls, especially don't think about other girls in the way you should be thinking about boys.
I mean If you must think about the thing you're not supposed to think about, it should be about boys. But still, don't think about it.
In fact, don't even read these books, because they include boys, and a girl who tries to seduce a boy who - like all good boys - won't do that thing you're not allowed to think about with her.
Because he's the perfect boy. But don't think about him. Because you don't need to think about sex. You don't need to be prepared.
You don't need to know about protection. You don't need to know that some boys only want you for the feelings the magic baby-maker between your legs gives him.
This whole 'sex' thing? It just happens. And it doesn't hurt and you'll never regret it and you'll be happy and content forever. But, uh You don't need to know about it.
And when that baby pops out nine months later not like a week, which we have been led to believe and you don't turn into a vampire, don't be disappointed.
And for god's sake, don't read these books and then fantasise about having sex with the boy, because even though Meyer wrote him to be the 'perfect' boy, and he's based on one of her own wet dreams, and she has been quoted as saying if Edward or Jacob showed up on her doorstep she would leave her loving husband and three children for either one of them View all 20 comments.
Breaking Dawn just might be one of the worst books I have ever read. Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse can stand together as a fairly pleasing, lovable trio.
Breaking Dawn seems almost unrelated to the series, like some crazed, over-the-top fan fiction. In the first three books, Stephenie Meyer creates this world of seemingly realistic magic — realistic because it is bound by explainable rules, and the characters within the world have retainable qualities from book to book.
Though New Moon shows how utterly weak and pathetic Bella is sans Edward, it seems a natural progression of her needy personality that was introduced during the development of their relationship in Twilight.
It seems as if in Breaking Dawn, Stephenie Meyer ran out of ideas for her characters or else decided to completely remake them and ignore the logistics she created for these magical creatures.
It might as well have been named Breaking Rules. Though her aversion to the wedding ceremony is over-done and her self-deprecating attitude by this point is impossibly trite, it seems like the classic Bella.
Oh, and she has also become somewhat reminiscent of a crazed sex-addict. She is annoyed that Edward wants to go out and explore the island with her, snorkeling and hiking and doing fun activities.
She would rather just stay in the house and have sex all day, every day, for weeks at a time. Also defying any sort of logic is the fact that once she realizes she might be pregnant, it is confirmed by the fact that her stomach has a little bulge and she feels the baby kick.
The five-day-old embryo. By the time I finished reading the honeymoon scene, I was having to shut the book to collect myself. I felt my mind had been violated, like Stephenie Meyer had just mind-raped me through nearly pages.
I had to force myself to continue reading. It only got worse. What sort of structure is that? Once Bella becomes pregnant, she ceases to be Bella.
Since when did Bella want to be a mom? Plus, the thing grows at an alarming rate. This image disgusted me. First of all, I would rather not imagine a pregnant 18 year old, married or not.
Second of all, the logistics of it bother me. Like oh, of course she gets through 9 months of pregnancy in roughly four weeks. Then the birth — grotesque, disgusting.
Um, sick? I can only hope the movie version of this saga ends with Twilight. I can't imagine them trying to dilute the honeymoon scene, let alone the birthing scene.
I can just picture the awkward energy radiating in the theatre during a movie like this. I wouldn't be surprised if there were nothing but crickets at the end, moviegoers awkwardly shuffling out of the theatre, avoiding eye contact with those they came with.
But moving on, how about the lovely celebrity-coupleish name they burden her with? Gag me. I wonder what Stephenie Meyer was even thinking.
And to further her perverted, illogical tirade, Stephenie has Jacob imprint on the infant Renesmee.
Of course, how perfect for Bella. She can have Jacob in her life AND have him be happy. Great solution. I would rather he imprinted on Leah.
That would have made much more sense. Once Bella becomes a vampire, she continues to remain the exception to every rule while being utterly oblivious to the fact.
You are unusually graceful! Was that jump good? Your mind can block everything out, you have super powers! And oh, you can conveniently use them to protect the ones you love!
Is that good? Am I being modest enough? How convenient to the plot that Bella can skip over all the newborn vampire nonsense and just be herself.
How convenient that her passions for Edward only intensify. Who needs human experiences? How convenient that Charlie gets to know the Cullens are not human.
How convenient that he happily accepts that two months after giving his daughter away, he already has a grandchild the size of a 3 year old.
The whole plot line reminded me of a child who got bored playing the same old story with her Barbies and suddenly decided that Barbie and Ken were going to have a baby, and that baby was born and became a functioning member of the family within two minutes of play time.
I was a little hopeful when the Volturi arrived for what seemed to be an inevitable war. I recalled back to when Bella mentioned something about not being able to imagine the Cullens without their head, Carlisle.
I thought for sure Carlisle would make some ultimate sacrifice to save Edward and Bella. In true predictable fashion, Alice returns and saves the day.
Pathetic Bella, the damsel in distress, the one who always had to be protected and saved, now the one protecting and saving everyone else.
How convenient. No fighting occurs, Renesmee is assured a life of immortality and will conveniently grow up extra fast for Jacob.
Bella and Edward live to have more sex. Everyone lives happily ever after. View all 28 comments. It's okay to abandon your parents after graduation literally 2.

Dear lord. I cannot believe I wasted my time with this book. The deeper and deeper I got into the absurdness of it all, I realized what it reminded me of: a bad fan fiction.
What the hell was she thinking? Now that I read Meyer's statements more carefully, I realize that she never actually said it was impossible Dear lord.
Now that I read Meyer's statements more carefully, I realize that she never actually said it was impossible for a male vampire to impregnate a human girl, just that a female vampire couldn't bear children.
I guess we the readers just jumped to conclusions with that. But regardless, I have never thought of Bella as particularly maternal.
So imagine my surprise when the fried chicken she makes one day nauseates her! My reaction: " It can't be!
She can't be! It's impossible, damn it! And then shortly after it goes into "Book Two," which is Jacob's point of view. Now, I hated Jacob.
I guess it was more dislike, since I don't usually hate things. But anyways, I was expecting his view to be boring and disappointing.
But as we got further into it, I started to have a better understanding of him. It was refreshing to get a glimpse into his mind, to see his feelings.
I have always been one of Team Edward before now, so imagine my surprise when I realize that Jacob is now one of my favorite characters!
Seth and Leah are great characters too. Leah really developed--all she needed was to be able to push away from Sam. I have always liked Leah, truthfully.
But even though I liked her, I could never truthfully say she had a great personality. Breaking Dawn changed that. And in Jacob's point of view, we see how badly the pregnancy is affecting Bella--this is also a good part of the book.
Too often in fan fiction I see pregnant! Bella having a blissful time. But the pain and misery of it in Breaking Dawn is absolutely wonderful.
A new take on it, I thought, and my opinion of the book increased as I got to that part. But then the book just HAS to go to Bella's point of view again.
And shortly after she gives birth also plenty of pain there , she is dying, and Edward has to change her into a vampire quickly.
I can't say I like the circumstances for the change, but alright. But the disappointment comes during the change.
She mentions the pain, the monstrous fire that keeps licking at her skin and causing her pain at every moment.
But she fails to describe it well--after a while, she's grown used to it. How exactly do you get used to being in a fire?
I just don't get that. And one other fact--she stays still throughout the whole transformation. She should be screaming, thrashing about.
How did she suddenly become this "strong, silent type? She wakes up, and all her senses have been magnified: the entire world looks different.
That's not the disappointment, though. The big disappointment is that there is barely any mention of thirst. Know why? Because she has this super-self-control that allows her to completely skip the typical YEARS of savageness, the newborn stage!
Yes, everyone. She is that awesome. She has become a Mary-Sue. If you don't know what that is, go look it up on Wikipedia now.
Is that not enough to convince you of her Sue-ness? Well, as if that's not enough, a little later she discovers that she can protect people with her mind!
But that's for later. Right now, let's rewind a little bit. Remember Bella's kid? Turns out it's a girl.
What's her name? You heard right. Try pronouncing that. Correct pronunciation: ruh-NEZ-may. Combo of Renee and Esme. And as if that were not enough, she's nicknamed after the loch ness monster.
I mean, most of us want him to eventually get over Bella, right? But the way Meyer does it? It's like, POOF! The moment he sees Renesmee, Bella vanishes!
She was never there! It's laughable. Using such an easy way of getting rid of Jacob. Meyer could've at least spent time on the solution.
Meanwhile, a series of events which I don't feel like explaining happen which lead the Volturi to come to try to kill Nessie. Nessie is Renesmee, if you can't figure it out.
Concerned, the Cullens gather seventeen other freaking vampires as witnesses. Don't ask me for what, I don't feel like explaining. And obviously all of these vampires get along, even though most of them prey on humans and a whole neighborhood of them live a few miles away.
And as if that weren't enough, almost all of them have superpowers, completely deflating one of Meyer's earlier claims. So here they are, all gathered, when suddenly the Volturi get convinced that Nessie is not a threat and they all leave peacefully--though not without killing Irina, who ratted all of them out but did so on a false claim.
And then they lived happily ever after. Yes, that really happened. The title of the last chapter was even "Happily Ever After.
But then, even after all this, you still say, "But at least Alice was there to make the story better, right? She was barely there for anything.
Which takes away a lot of the series' appeal. And while we're on the topic of characters, may I also add that no one was acting in-character?
And while we're on the topic of out-of-character-ness, I would also like to say that Charlie found out about werewolves and that the Cullens weren't human he doesn't know they're vampires, just that they aren't human , but guess what?
He barely cares about it! Who would've thought? Remember earlier, when I said this was like a bad fan fiction? Let's weigh all the characteristics.
Everything that happened in cliche fan fiction happened here, including: - Pregnant Bella - Stupid names - OOC-ness Out Of Character, if you can't figure it out - The commonness of gifted vampires - Bella's self-control gift - Two gifts for Bella - Jacob imprinting - Charlie knowing the secret I'm sure there's more, but I don't want to think a lot.
Please don't read this. I'm not going to write another review, because I'm still in denial that the book was actually okay.
So I'm just going to say that I respect it. I'm never, ever going to like it, of course. But I respect it. I hate this book again with a passion.
I no longer respect it or Meyer. View all 21 comments. I'll preface by saying that I did enjoy this book - I love the story overall, and the characters, and the premise and all of that.
I don't have a problem with Bella, and it was funny seeing her through Jacob's biased eyes - on the contrary, I like Bella.

This is one of those series where the obsessive fans take the story away from the author, writing their own versions, coming up with their own theories and all the rest of it.
I don't begrudge them that, but what really annoys me is when they say that Meyer has it all wrong, that that's not what vampires are like, and on and on.
I came across a few discussions over what would happen in this book, which I tried to avoid, but people were coming up with all sorts of things: about babies, about what Bella's special gift would be, about the wedding and so on.
I would have thought that this book would have completely satisfied people, but from the glimpses I've caught much to my annoyance , a lot of fans seem almost scornful of how things panned out.
Maybe it's because there was too much of a build-up, like with the last Harry Potter book, and it creates an anti-climax. I'd like to pat myself on the back for avoiding that feeling, by steering clear of all the online discussions - though it's hard on Goodreads, because people's comments pop up on your updates page.
The pregnancy took me by surprise, but I loved it. It was plausible, it was scary, and by switching Point-of-View to Jacob in the middle there an ingenious device , we not only get a more fleshed-out perspective of that period, a wise move, but it makes Bella's life more fragile, precarious, uncertain.
For a while there I was extremely worried that she wouldn't survive. Edward's pain was so very real, and really got to me.
The baby device is quite common in fantasy - the baby that will save the world or the baby that will unite people and so on.
Here it was much more personal though, and I appreciated that. Renesmee was a little too perfect, but her bizarre nature balanced it enough that she wasn't too sickly sweet.
I wasn't surprised at Jacob imprinting with her - and it was certainly an effective way of handling that pesky problem! I wonder, though, was Bella less interesting when she no longer had to worry herself over two men?
As for the other characters, apart from Bella and Jacob, they're very much in the background, which was rather disappointing.
Playing their typical support roles, it felt a little rushed at times, almost like Meyer's heart wasn't really in it - as I understand it she wrote this book because her publisher wanted her to, like with the previous two; Twilight was meant to be a stand-alone novel in the beginning.
But it still felt a bit rushed and half-hearted in places. He gets an awful lot of airtime here, which gives us a chance to feel really comfortable with him, and he has a nice irreverent tone, but it still leaves many of the other characters thinly sketched.
Even Edward, I never really feel like we break through his mystery and outward charisma to the person beneath. Bella sees him as a kind of idol, and as such, he's almost inhuman ha ha.
His emotions come across, but not so much his reasoning, or motivations. I'm not sure, maybe that's not it exactly, but I always want more Edward and want I'm given just doesn't satisfy me.
Now, it was always going to be tricky, writing Bella as a vampire. All her main quirks as a human are gone - the clumsiness, the blushing, the sweetness - which Meyer always used to define her character, so I was really pleased at how she managed to make Bella a convincing vampire while still retaining enough to make her familiar.
Her voice doesn't really change, but her actions have. She's much less vulnerable, and that's bound to change anyone.
But her body language has been altered, and her confidence too. It worked well. Edward, too, no longer treated her like a fragile human but effortlessly shifted his perspective and treated her as more of a partner, less as an eccentric pet.
The climax was less climactic than the other books, but the fact that it didn't end on violence like the previous book gave the end of the series the right kind of ending, a peaceful one.
Bella's special ability made sense, and while it's not visibly impressive, it's certainly very useful and fits her character: always trying to protect others.
Is it just me or do all the books start with Bella in a car? I can't remember how the others started and I didn't get a chance to have a look, but it seemed like they do.
If they do, it's an interesting comfort zone. I love Meyer's version of the vampiric species - it's original and very well fleshed out, and differs at important points from the more generic, Anne Rice version, making them much more attractive, less vulnerable creatures.
This is an addictive series, with as many detractors as fans, and with as much hoo-ha as Harry Potter. They're not as well written as the Harry Potter books, but they're nothing to cringe over either - you don't read them for the prose, but for the story, which is emotionally intense and very, very addictive.
It's a classic love story, it's just that the circumstances are a little different. So, I guess the long and the short of it is, I loved the book, yet it wasn't wholly satisfying, like there was something missing, some part of character development maybe, or maybe I'm just wishing Edward was more fleshed out, now that Bella's like him and he's no longer an alien species.
I can't quite put my finger on it. But there were lots of surprises, and the plot was well-structured in three parts, three distinct stages, with all the emotional gut-punching I've come to expect from Meyer.
Truly, she puts me through the wringer like Diana Gabaldon - and for this alone I will always love these books yes, I like the feeling of being put through the proverbial emotional wringer!
It's also a great romance, though too much time was spent telling us of the bond between Bella and Edward, and not enough time showing us.
Perhaps that was what bugged me? I gave Breaking Dawn several days' worth of chances and it did nothing but stun, anger, and disappoint me.
I enjoyed the first three books, despite how badly written and full of grammar mistakes and typos they were, because they were fun and exciting and took me away from a sucky year at college.
Breaking Dawn, however, was so shockingly awful that I actually burst into hysterical laughter every time something drastic happened.
I actually was unable to read it in one sitting like I wanted to bec I gave Breaking Dawn several days' worth of chances and it did nothing but stun, anger, and disappoint me.
I actually was unable to read it in one sitting like I wanted to because my brain couldn't handle the ridiculousness for more than an hour at a time.
Not even considering how insanely bad the plot and writing were, the morals the book presents made me wonder how Stephenie even managed to get it published.
Moral 1: Marriage is easy. Bella doesn't have to pay for, take care of, or do anything in the way of keeping her marriage going.
Not even touching on the whole Mr. Perfect issue. Moral 2: The only thing worth staying alive for is sex. Bella never stopped considering her choice to become a vampire until she had sex with Edward and then suddenly wanted to hold back.
Crying and begging him to screw her because her happy dream was over? Come on girl, have some pride. Pull yourself together, Bella. Sex isn't everything.
Moral 3: Women are only good for babymaking. Stephenie thinks so. Moral 4: All of your problems will be solved for you, so don't try to fix them.
That year of wanting to drink human blood? Don't worry about it, you'll just skip it anyway. That baby who's killing you from the inside?
Don't sweat it, Edward will just make you a vampire and then you'll be fine. Annoying cub boy won't fall out of love with you?
Chill out, he'll imprint on your babies and then you won't ever have to worry about them getting in the way of your perfect love life again.
And that leads into Moral 5: Pedophilia is okay! Just wait until they get old enough or in Renesmee's case, wait until they're 6 years old because then they'll look old enough and you're good to go.
I could keep going with the morals but I feel the need to touch on the fact that the ending was the biggest and most awful cop-out I could've imagined her writing.
The other books had incredibly kickass, awesome action scenes that pulled me in and wouldn't let me stop reading. Breaking Dawn just built up and built up and then the Volturi just decided, whatever, no battle.
Go home with your mutant baby. See you in six years when she tries to make babies with the werewolf and we get pissed off at you again.
There were no struggles. There were a lot of solutions springing from midair and the preparation for sacrifices that were never made.
And that is why Breaking Dawn ruined the Twilight series for me. May 25, Denys L. The last book of the series.
You would think this would all get better, eh? It hasn't for the most part. But yeah, there is a happy ending no doubt about it.
Yeah, Bella turns into a vampire. How come I'm not surprised? The novel ended all too neat and too predictable.
But in the middle of the book, there was a whole load of unfortunate and turning events going on. In the beginning of the book, Bella is bitching o The last book of the series.
In the beginning of the book, Bella is bitching of course about this really awesome car Edward brought for her that many people are asking about good way to start, amirite?
She and the Cullens are planning the big wedding day, and she's also bitching about that. She just wants everything to get over with it so she can DO IT with her beloved vampire 'lover.
When she finally does, she tells her father first with Edward along her side. His reaction was just unbelievable.
He wasn't comfortable with the idea, but he accepted it. The once, strict Charlie that wasn't too crazy about Edward has vanished into thin air.
And then Bella tells her mother she's getting married. Her mother assumes that it's right for Bella because she's always making "good" choices for herself.
If only you knew, Renee. If only you knew. So then, we speed things up to the wedding. I admit, I was dazzled when I was reading it, but it's only because I ignored the fact it was Bella and Edward's and made them change positions with my boyfriend and I silly, I know.
The wedding starts to get more interesting when Jacob comes yaaay. He dances with Bella and she casually tells him she will be having a honeymoon.
Alas, she doesn't listen. Edward the meanie had to escort Jacob away. The wedding was written very short.
Next, we go to the honeymoon. Finally, Bella can fulfill her wishes and have dreamy sex with her new husband. But that's all she cares about though.
That's the reason why she's even married to him, just to have her lustful, selfish ways with him. Edward refuses to have sex with her at first, since he thinks he'll hurt her, but Bella the sex-obsessed puppy doesn't care.
She acts like a friggin' horn dog for crying out loud. They finally do it, but we never get the details on it sorry for all you erotica fans out there.
In the morning, Bella's awoken with bruises everywhere courtesy of Edward. He even ate a pillow because the sex was so immense.
Bella wants to do it again hormonal, much? Bella practically cries and begs to have Edward make rough love to her. D; They do it again. This time, Edward breaks the bed.
And an amount of days later, Bella starts vomiting and getting her period late. She also has a big bump on her stomach.
This probably means she has cancer, or Edward has super mutant sperm after all those years of being a virgin.
Bella is pregnant. Their honeymoon is over. They go back to the Cullens to get an abortion, but Bella doesn't want one.
Edward thinks the little freak inside her will kill her, since it's half vampire. Bella doesn't want to hear the fact that her little precious bundle of a monster might be "killed.
I thought vampires weren't suppose to have babies though. Stephenie Meyer has even broken her own rules in order to make this all go happy.
We got into Jacob's point-of-view now. His point-of-view isn't so great, infact, it's superlame. He talks to other werewolves telepathically and that gets very annoying after awhile.
He gets news about Bella being killer pregnant and then he hurriedly comes by her side.
Twilight Biss Zum Ende Der Nacht - Weitere Formate
Doch eine Überraschung erwartet die beiden und wieder mal ist Bellas Leben in Gefahr, sodass ihre Tage nun endgültig gezählt scheinen. Doch damit sind die Gefahren für dei kleine Familie noch lange nicht beendet Kommentare Kommentar verfassen. Erich Ludwig. Sacrifice is what gives you undying love for children; they are not convenient plot ideas. Nothing about that child made sense and I thought Nessie, considering its monster ties, was a vast improvement on a ridiculous name.
And Edward Jacob for a boy is not sweet. It's obscenely selfish. The point at which I started hating this book was when Bella didn't even act like a vampire.
Not being a newborn vampire is not a gift, particularly for a vampire who needs a myriad of other gifts to save the story.
It's an excuse to not have your characters suffer. But instead of making characters stronger, it weakens them.
It robs them. It robs us of a good story. You can't soften that blow. Hiding the pain of the bite from Edward robbed him of a chance for compassion--something dependent Bella would not do.
Turning to the person you love most in your worst hour is love, is what strengthens relationships. And how is Bella's human uterus so strong that only a vampire could cut through it with his teeth?
That was about the biggest joke in the book. Being a "soulless" newborn vampire isn't all Meyer cracked it up to be. If it were, they never would have let a strong newborn go hunting with only one guardian.
Since Bella was so easily distracted from a thirst that didn't seem all that powerful, there should have been some good loving in that forest.
Having the thirst that drives the series not phase her, diminishes its power and intrigue for all vampires, all the way back to Twilight.
Being a vampire isn't torture; it's fun. I want to be a superhero vampire. Sacrifice is what Bella knew she was undertaking when she picked Edward.
But she gave up nothing. Everything is twisted for the sake of convenience: children, newborn desire, imprinting, human family, death, special gifts, a cast of new vampires, everything.
Would a cop who detaches his daughter's battery so she doesn't sneak out plead "don't ask, don't tell" with the scary supernatural threatening his community and daughter?
The only reason this bogus aspect is even in the story is because Meyer couldn't bare for Bella to lose anything.
But if Edward, Bella, and Jacob are unrecognizable characters, why not Charlie? And if Charlie gets pulled into the story why not her mother?
I'm sure Meyer could have come with an implausible excuse for her too. Meyer tried to add plot twists, but couldn't commit to their consequences.
With all the conflict removed for Bella, there is no drama so Meyer tries to create it with ill-placed childish mood swings. There are no monsters in the book.
Vampires are sparkly happy supermodels. Werewolves are snuggly tame pets. Even the werewolf-vampire antagonism seems to have dissipated.
The head-butting between Rosalie and Jacob seems more personality conflict than the innate drive to destroy each other. They all want to sit around the campfire and sing.
Couldn't at least some Volturi sinister be burning in that fire? In a nutshell: part one: strange, part two: disgusting, part three: dull. I'm appalled it has more stars than New Moon.
I guess some girls care more about a happy story than a good one. I didn't buy the book and I still want my money back.
I feel robbed. Not having the guts to finish what you started not only ruins this book, but previous installments too. I will give her this: she used a dictionary to add a few big words and she kept it clean.
But I can't read her books anymore. And I wish I could wash this one out of system. The saga had such potential and she killed it. View all 93 comments.

Of course that is always a possibility for stories such as Harry Potter, where the plot is laced through all of the books and leads to an ultimate climax and resolution in the final book.
Stephenie Meyer did not follow this example in any way, shape, or form. Instead of possibly creating an internal plot that would follow the entire series, every book has For her last attempt, strike 4 on my count, Meyer rides this train till there are no more tracks; taking the train, and all of it's passengers on a bumpy, uncomfortable, and unforgivable journey no one had prepared for.
The child's name itself is atrocious; I honestly hope no one loves this series enough to name their own child that, out of their "love for Stephenie Meyer.
Has she even mentioned children in this entire book series? Besides the fact that little mutant Nessie takes the entire stage, Bella's giving birth to a mutant that should not exist X-Men anyone?
Because otherwise, the story would have ended. Bella got married, Bella somehow someway got pregnant, Bella had a half-breed baby, Bella becomes a vampire, Jacob creepily imprints on said baby, and everyone lives freakishly happily ever after.
I shouldn't have to describe how horrific it is that the entire pages of the final novel is about a baby. Bella seemed to move to Forks and somehow grow up in a year, getting married and having a baby, and living for forever with her ridiculously good-looking husband.
I understand that Bella made the choice for herself, doesn't mean I have to think it was a good one. Or a good example for young girls to follow.
I'm not going to step up on the soap box and preach about how many horrible morals this gives to girl's of today's generation after feminism has fought to get us this far because if they haven't read a cheap romance novel yet, they certainly will.
Guys looking to date girls of that generation should beware however. If you don't sparkle in the sun, devote every step you take and every move you make to her, and like to watch her sleep, you might not have much of a chance.
But, back to the story, cough, I mean lack thereof. The Volturi coming in deemed itself, once again, random and overreaching for Meyer.
As if she just wanted them to show up and have an epic battle, but it wasn't really epic and it didn't serve much of a point. However, if I was a year-old vampire, I'm sure I'd be bored enough to care about someone as trivial as Bella Swan too.
Only because I think Jacob was Meyer's best character. He shall forever be known as the character with a personality.
However, as Meyer had introduced me to Jacob, and gave me reason to like him, she also had the power to do the opposite.
Thank you, Stephenie Meyer for ruining one of the only realistic characters you created. His imprinting on little Nessie just put the icing on the shit-cake I had been eating for the past pages.
Why couldn't he have imprinted on a year-old alcoholic with an abusive husband and Meyer could give someone who needs saving a fighting chance by someone with super powers.
By this point, I was going to take an example from New Moon and jump off a cliff just to save myself from the rest of the book.
But I didn't, and I should have. The rest of the book was almost as boring and laughable as the first half, but at least the first half had gasp fade-to-black sensual scenes.
As many people have been saying, this book is exactly like 1, stories on FanFiction. And it would probably be pages less.
Congratulations to Breaking Dawn for being the first book in human history to be so long both emotionally and physically that its length is measured in centuries and tears of boredom shed rather than pages.

So first off The honeymoon was even better. Stephenie Meyer did an amazing job of writing a "tasteful" honeymoon scene.
It wasn't dirty at all. It was beautiful. You knew they were able to have sex and that there was a definate strong "intensity" during these moments but she didn't go into to Where do I begin?
You knew they were able to have sex and that there was a definate strong "intensity" during these moments but she didn't go into too many explicit details which leaves much to the imagination I loved the quote by Bella, "Why am I covered in feathers?
It was PG Plus they were married when it happened so that made it even better. I have to admit I was a little shocked she wrote the sex parts.
I didn't think she would go there but I am so glad she did because it just made the bond between Edward and Bella even stronger if that was even possible.
It was hot and sexy for sure! Does that make me a pervert? Oh who cares! It was amazing! So what I never dreamed of happening was a pregnancy!
This is when the story goes from pure happiness to total uncertainty and even sadness for some. Bella is adamant that she would keep the baby even though it was killing her, hoping she could keep her heart beating long enough so she could be turned into a vampire to save her.
I have never felt so horrible for Edward. To say he was in agony would be an understatement. Chapter 9 was very hard for me to read because Edward was in so much pain.
Pain he feels he deserves. I felt awful for him. Chapter I was literally shaking as I read it. She was dying. I was on the edge of my seat wondering if they would be able to save the baby and at the same time save her.
I am so happy I was wrong. One of my favorite parts from the chapter was when Jacob was giving Bella CPR after the baby was born…. Edward had a syringe in his hand-all silver, like it was made from steel.
There was a tiny crunch as his blow broke my little finger. In the same second, he shoved the needle straight into her heart. You could feel that at this moment Edward was very somber.
He was turning the woman he loved into a vampire. Something he had fought against for a long time because he didn't want her to have to give up any human experiences and eventually regret becoming a vampire.
Now he did it to save her. There was no other way. I wish I could have been in his head at this time though it would have been very depressing I'm sure.
Jacob too had to give in to letting her become a vampire to save her. So now not only was Bella changed into a vampire, but she was a mother and a wife.
So many changes so fast. Renesmee not fond of the name That name irritated me even more. I have to admit though it kinda freaked me out at first.
I don't blame Bella for wanting to tear him apart. Like me I don't think she could have ever imagined this happening.
This event was so significant. It released all the pain Jacob had to endure by being in love with Bella but knowing she would never be his.
At the same time it tied him to her permanently. He still loved her but in the way it should have always been. He loved her as a friend and nothing more.
She loved him as a brother like she always wanted. Everything was as it should be. So in the end the challenge was the Volturi. Changed a child into a vampire when really Renesmee was the biological child of Edward and Bella.
I cried the ugly kind, I was hysterical at a point when Edward and Bella said their quiet goodbyes to their daughter and Jacob when they thought they were about to die.
It was heart wrenching. It was so touching when Edward said to Jacob, "Goodbye Jacob, my brother Luckily in the end they were able to conquer because of Bella and her amazing gift to shield everyone she loved from the "special" gifts of the Volturi.
I thought it was wonderful to see Bella so powerful and strong. That for once she was able to be the protector instead of the one being protected.
She got to be the savior. This too made the unbreakable bond between her and Edward stronger. Because of her they were able to beat the Volturi and save their daughter that they loved more than anything.
Their family was intact. One of my absolute favorite parts there are so many I have to say was at the end when Bella removes her "shield" so Edward can read her thoughts.
Edward was NOT expecting this. Not being able to all this time has driven him mad at times. Especially when it came to Jacob.
He always wondered if Bella made the right decision. Now he knows without a doubt that she always loved him and that nothing can or ever will change that.
Edward got to experience all the feelings she had for him as far back as she could remember. He can know now without a doubt that they truly belong together.
What a wonderful gift to give Edward. That Bella is one lucky vampire. I was so glad this book had the Happily Ever After ending. Especially after all the horrible things that have occured in the past.
Everything came together beautifully. I loved it. I liked Jacob a lot more in this book in fact I laughed out loud several times at him.
I also liked Bella a lot more when she became a vampire. She wasn't as selfish and winey. I wanted to strangle her at times in the other books because of the way she treated Edward and even Jacob.
The pain she caused both of them in the past because of her own selfish desires. Everything for the characters is balanced or in line how it should be in their relationships.
I feel closer with the story now which I needed badly. These books totally consumed me to say the least. This was my favorite of the series by far.
It was filled with love, suspense, true friendship, loyalty, sorrow, happiness and so much more. I look forward to reading it again!
I don't think I will ever be able to find a series again that has affected me like this. These books are my favorites above all others!
View all 68 comments. Reviewer update Aug I have demoted the book from 5 to 4 stars. This is partly because I was so pleased by it compared to the last two books in the series that I overreacted.
But I also approve of her approach to the book and have rated it so highly in order to counteract those reviewers out there who hated it because they felt Bella was a bad example to young girls.
Read some of the reviews on Amazon or GoodReads and you will find a certain type of person who feels that Bella's character fails as a role model for young women today.
Because she, gasp, got married and had a child at a young age. Oh, my, what is the world coming to when young people choose eternal love and devotion!
Oh that more young women could be more like the implausibly articulate yet utterly selfish lead in the movie Juno!
In my favorite example, one reviewer on Amazon claimed it wasn't credible that a girl as young as Bella would feel joy at sensing a baby growing inside her.
Women and men from every culture in every era of history have found a tremendous and peculiar satisfaction in their children. It doesn't matter where you believe this instinct came from, it's real and it manifests millions of times over.
Should we be so surprised that Stephenie Meyer would be one of the billions who believe this love to be real? Read the author's bio and it becomes clear: She was married at 21 before she finished college and had three children while still in her 20s.
But one can hardly call her a "failure" for choosing family first. By all standards she's fabulously successful and wealthy. Plus, she has a college degree one of the big beefs some people had with Bella's choice to postpone college.
Are we really surprised that Stephenie would see the world through rose-colored, happiness-prone glasses when her own life is exactly that, deliriously happy?
Social polemics aside for a moment. The one thing this book lacked was a satisfying climactic, apocalyptic battle royale between the forces of vampire good and vampire evil.
I know this book was intended to cap off a romance series, not The Lord of the Rings but there's a reason books of high fantasy all end in cataclysmic bloodshed.
It takes a conflict of such dramatic proportions to drive the point of a story deep into our minds. And the point of this story, if you weren't too focused on your own family planning to notice it, was worthy of such dramatic punctuation.
The real point of this book is that we can and should choose love. That despite our personal weaknesses and faults -- our immature attempts at love and our petty jealousies -- we can make important, permanent decisions that will tie us to other people, making their lives and our lives better in the process.
The battle I propose -- one I hope sees the light of day in a future novel -- would seal Bella's decisions and the decisions of her family and loved ones in a way that would render their commitments real.
Their marital love, their parental love, their familial love, and the love of fellowship with others who share their principles. Some would have to die to preserve the love they have made immortal.
Others would have to kill to do the same. Nothing is more final, especially for immortals. But they would do so to symbolize the triumph of their love over the petty dynasty of the Volturi and thus establish a global movement of vampires that respect human life and restrain their selfish hungers in deference to the greater good.
Something that wise humans do every day. Such a symbolic battle would take this series to the next level.
But even without it, this book is the best evidence that Meyer wasn't really writing a sloppy romance saga for misty-eyed girls, but was instead telling a story about the eternal power of love and self-denial.
I have been properly chided by many of these reviews for overreacting to the "Bella is a bad role model" flack and failing to acknowledge the principal flaw of this book.
Amy said it best below: Meyer shortchanged us by not forcing Bella to face any hard choices. Bella got everything she wanted, including a strange relationship with Jacob.
Nobody she loved got hurt -- which was the problem I did mention above -- and she never had to disappoint anyone. Given that a year has passed, I have some distance on all the whining that went on about Bella not being a protofeminist.
As a result, I should own up to the fact that this fourth book fails to deliver not only the climax I hoped for, but the real character crisis and development that a saga of this length should strive for.
Or that we all should strive for in our own lives, to go all metaphysical on you for a moment. So I have demoted the book from 5 stars to 4 and begun to ruminate on the topic of why Meyer -- a woman possessed of such clear imagination -- was unwilling or unable to make Bella's life hard.
Here's what I have come up with, for what it's worth: 1 - Meyer's own life is pretty darn pleasant. Let's be honest, she has everything most people think they want.
All of us who struggle to write books that nobody reads desperately wish for her success a fact that generates more than few snippy comments on Goodreads, I might suggest.
She has a whole community of women around her who adore her and come to all-night parties when she debuts a book or movie, just to be near her.
In the end, she might make Bella after her own image because she doesn't know that life ultimately requires pain.
For those not acquainted with the faith, Mormonism is a faith that believes everything will ultimately be okay. If not in this life, then in the next.
In fact, the whole vampire immortality gig is just a metaphor for the Mormon idea of the afterlife: You get to be with the ones you love forever, without pain.
In that way, Bella is a perfect reflection of the ideal Mormon eternity: God forgives us for our idiocy, acknowledges our flawed attempts at love by magnifying them and making them eternal.
Though this is only one side of Mormonism -- it's also a faith with sorrowful history of persecution.
Mormons certainly suffer plenty in this life just like everyone else, so this explanation is only true to the extent that Meyer has willingly isolated Mormonism's view of the end state of humanity.
This is not only the most obvious but probably the strongest of my three explanations. We're so accustomed to watching James Bond run through the street with machine guns trained on him that never hit their mark that we no longer point out that Bond is completely implausible and ultimately unsatisfying as a character.
But we're not used to reading fiction in which women get everything they want. At least, I'm not. So we get tied up in knots about the lack of deeper meaning and pathos when in reality, Meyer never promised us a garden of sorrow and personal growth.
So even though I have to demote the book, I still feel like the saga was worth reading; both because of the fun I had teasing about its flaws but also because it gives me fodder for worthwhile introspection.
Oh, and it connected me to some great commenters who I now follow on Goodreads. View all 39 comments.
Page - Had her body changed because she was a werewolf? Or had she become a werewolf because her body was wrong?
The only female werewolf in the history of forever. Was that because she wasn't as female as she should be? Okay, it's always been obvious that the only things Smeyer finds important in life are marriage and babies, the younger the better, but what the fuck, y'all.
I am beyond disgusted at this. I'm disgusted at the statement that women who cannot have children are less than female, with the implication that the only point of being a woman is reproduction.
Which is bullshit. Families are great and all, but they are not the be-all-end-all of my double X's, and sterility does not change one's femininity.
Yeah, finished - well, meh. You mean to tell me you collect sixty vampires and nearly twenty werewolves-that-aren't in one place, and there isn't so much as a schoolyard rumble?
Come on. Things I liked - uh, Leah. Leah and Seth. Rock on, Clearwaters. These books are crack and have always been crack, but this was the bad crack.
That whole mess with chromosomes, and how vampires have 25 and humans have 23 which is why Alice can see their futures but she can't see werewolves' futures because they have 24, and the reason she can't see the bb is because it has the average of Bella and Edward - what the hell is that?
Other than complete and utter pseudo-intellectual laziness? It'd be better if she'd just handwaved it - honestly, it is a novel about vampires and werewolves ; it's FINE if you just throw up your hands and blithely say "Magic!
Don't judge. Predictions, for the lulz: -Jacob dies for max angst or imprints on non-Bella because I don't think Meyer has the guts to kill anyone off, honestly -Angela, as joked about in previous books, is revealed to be a witch -Alice is even more awesome and bribes Edward into giving her a Ferrari -Bella doesn't go vamp due to angst -Edward magically turns human and he and Bella get maaaaaarried and live as happy mundanes for the rest of their days -lots of angst and hopefully LOTS of sparkling, because, seriously.

You're not supposed to think about things. Especially not sex. Don't think about sex. Or you will be thinking about things you shouldn't be thinking about.
Don't think about boys. Thinking about boys lead This is a direct quote from Seth, Stephenie Meyer's brother and the person who runs her website. Thinking about boys leads to thinking about holding hands and kissing, which leads to thinking about sex, which is bad.
Don't wonder about how babies are made and don't ever wonder where you came from. Clearly you popped out of your mother's vajayjay the instant your parents thought about having a child, like in The Sims 1.
No sex involved. Don't wonder if your parents still have sex. Newsflash: most parents keep having sex after their kids are born.
And girls, especially don't think about other girls in the way you should be thinking about boys. I mean If you must think about the thing you're not supposed to think about, it should be about boys.
But still, don't think about it. In fact, don't even read these books, because they include boys, and a girl who tries to seduce a boy who - like all good boys - won't do that thing you're not allowed to think about with her.
Because he's the perfect boy. But don't think about him. Because you don't need to think about sex. You don't need to be prepared. You don't need to know about protection.
You don't need to know that some boys only want you for the feelings the magic baby-maker between your legs gives him. This whole 'sex' thing?
It just happens. And it doesn't hurt and you'll never regret it and you'll be happy and content forever. But, uh You don't need to know about it.
And when that baby pops out nine months later not like a week, which we have been led to believe and you don't turn into a vampire, don't be disappointed.
And for god's sake, don't read these books and then fantasise about having sex with the boy, because even though Meyer wrote him to be the 'perfect' boy, and he's based on one of her own wet dreams, and she has been quoted as saying if Edward or Jacob showed up on her doorstep she would leave her loving husband and three children for either one of them View all 20 comments.
Breaking Dawn just might be one of the worst books I have ever read. Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse can stand together as a fairly pleasing, lovable trio.
Breaking Dawn seems almost unrelated to the series, like some crazed, over-the-top fan fiction.
In the first three books, Stephenie Meyer creates this world of seemingly realistic magic — realistic because it is bound by explainable rules, and the characters within the world have retainable qualities from book to book.
Though New Moon shows how utterly weak and pathetic Bella is sans Edward, it seems a natural progression of her needy personality that was introduced during the development of their relationship in Twilight.
It seems as if in Breaking Dawn, Stephenie Meyer ran out of ideas for her characters or else decided to completely remake them and ignore the logistics she created for these magical creatures.
It might as well have been named Breaking Rules. Though her aversion to the wedding ceremony is over-done and her self-deprecating attitude by this point is impossibly trite, it seems like the classic Bella.
Oh, and she has also become somewhat reminiscent of a crazed sex-addict. She is annoyed that Edward wants to go out and explore the island with her, snorkeling and hiking and doing fun activities.
She would rather just stay in the house and have sex all day, every day, for weeks at a time. Also defying any sort of logic is the fact that once she realizes she might be pregnant, it is confirmed by the fact that her stomach has a little bulge and she feels the baby kick.
The five-day-old embryo. By the time I finished reading the honeymoon scene, I was having to shut the book to collect myself.
I felt my mind had been violated, like Stephenie Meyer had just mind-raped me through nearly pages. I had to force myself to continue reading. It only got worse.

Währenddessen verschlechtert sich Bellas Zustand rapide. Sie kann keine Nahrung mehr bei sich behalten und Infusionen bringen auch keinen Erfolg.
Jacob bringt die Cullens auf die Idee, Bella Blut zu trinken zu geben, da sie vermuten, dass das Baby mehr Vampir als Mensch sein könnte.
Der Plan geht auf und Bellas Zustand verbessert sich. Doch dies hat Nebenwirkungen: Nicht nur Bella wird nun stärker, sondern auch das Baby.

Dabei baut sich eine nicht beeinflussbare, besondere Bindung zwischen ihr und ihm auf, die ein Leben lang halten wird. Trotz des Morphiums, das Edward ihr verabreicht hat, spürt Bella die furchtbaren Schmerzen der Verwandlung.
