I was extremely excited when this book came out. I
finished it in 4 hours, and personally I think it was the best out of
the entire Twilight saga. The story isn't merely about Bella and
Edward's love for each other; it grows bigger, which is nice. I thought
Jacob's part was spectacular and, surprise, Stephenie Meyer creates a
brilliant finale to a much loved series.

Bella and Edward fell in love from the first book of Stephanie Meyers. But now they are taking it to the next level. with no more bad vamps trying to cause Bella harm, Edward is finally calm enough to focus on Bella. Bella has been through alot with Edward... but she's still going to be there for him, they take it to the next step and GET MARRIED! on the honey moon, Edward full fills his promise to Bella, but they end up in even more of a muddy puddle. Bella is blessed with a little... vampire or human? well when her health withers away, all the Cullens are trying to find away to support Bella's breaking body, and the little ones developing habit. but when the baby is ready to be born, will it kill it's mom to be able to breath, not on edward's hands, but when the vulturi think Bella and Edward have created a New Born, they are out for blood, not wanting peace and reassurance for anything. When they are ready to attack, their full spring, and won't stop until.. Renesmee proves that she isn't a new born. by talking with her hands.. and flashing images through peoples minds.

Honestly? Im a tad bit disappointed.
Heres why: I finally realize what other reviewers have been saying
about the whole dragginess factor. While they were mostly talking about
the previous books, I think the same problem presents itself in the
final installment also. Lets take this back to the beginning of the
book, then. Im a bit confused about why Meyer would start the book
with Bella driving a special European car. While the car does serve its
purpose in further explaining Bellas personality, the car itself
doesnt hold much importanceafter all, it does get disposed off when
Bella turns into a vampire. I know this comment seems random, but Im
reminded of another review I read recently about how Meyer tends to put
in irrelevant things into the story, and now I agree. I could think of
many ways to start the book, and none of it includes the tiny detail of
a guy wanting to take a photograph of him next to Bellas new car. Its
ridiculous.
But, lets move on. The wedding. I love how the wedding went in
general, as well as the honeymoon, but I couldnt get over how
annoyingly repetitive the descriptions were. Especially where it
concerns Edward. Bella consistently talks about how perfect Edward is.
We GET it. We know how gorgeous he is alreadytheres no need to
describe his ultra smooth skin, intense eyes, and etc. It just gives
someone else the sense that Bella is superficialthat shes more
attracted to Edwards good looks than the person. Again, moving on.
From the moment they land on the island for their honeymoon, I know the
plot is going to move extremely slow. Maybe thats Meyers plan, but
Id prefer the action, thank you very much. The whole pregnant thing
was blown out of proportion to me. Its like, yes, theres going to be
a baby, but does it really take that long to get the story to unfold
while Bella is pregnant? I just think there are a lot of unnecessary
things that didnt need to be included but were added for the sake of
making the book longer.
With those two things in mind, I just feel like I cant appreciate
the story for what it is. Plusand maybe its just because it hasnt
been a really good week for me for readingits not exactly the most
exciting book in the series. I just loved the first one, the one that
started my obsession, but now, I feel like she could have wrapped her
story simply in three novels.

I am a huge Twilight fan but am really a Twilight Series fan. I love Breaking Dawn just for the fact of all the events that take place. I love all the crazy madness that goes on in the book. I love the relationship that builds between the wolves & vampires toward the end. When it comes close to a fight how the wolves have the vampire backs. I like that Bella grows more mature in this novel. That she and Edward get to become parents to a vampire/human baby. I really cannot even wait for the movie's to come out. I truly hope that they will be able to keep all of the events from the book into the movie because that is what I am most looking for. I belive that this whole Series is really great that she will continue to write more great writing peaces.

Bella has been waiting for this for what has seemed to be an eternity: Her and Edwards happily ever after. Getting married, meeting each of their conditions, and just over all having each other. But when Bella decided to keep her mortality for just a while longer something comes up. Something nobody though would ever be possible. Now the Volturi are coming down on the Cullens and theres nothing that is a sure thing to save their lives. How do you erase a death sentance for a crime you didnt commit?
This book was an amazing finish to the best series Ive ever read. It gave so much closure, I cant think of a single thing that Stephenie didnt sum up. I love the happily ever after factor, of course. Everybody got what they wanted. Bella and Edward can live together for all of eternity along with an unexpected little addition, Jacob has somebody he can finally love, and even Rosalie was happy in the end. One of the things I really liked about this book in particular was Book Two (The book was split up into three sections, Book three being the longest). I didnt think Id enjoy reading from Jacobs PoV but it really helped the story line. I loved seeing how the pack worked inside each others minds and the connections between them. Another thing I absolutely loved was all of the different powers. Benjamins was probably my favorite, the moving of the elements, but Renesmees was also very cool. Bella's was pretty neat, but not nearly as exciting as I would have liked it to be :-p On the topic of Bella, to me she didnt really seem like herself... just different. And I guess that's understandable to a point but I wasnt sure about it. There wasnt nearly as much romance in this book as the others, but many things were hinted at and it was very obvious that there was sex in the book but not a detail was shared which still makes the book appropriate for a younger audiance. I have to say that I think Emmett has become my favorite character although there has never been much of him in any of the books. In this book he was pretty hilarious and I found myself laughing, which earned some wierd looks from my family. So now that Ive basically written a book on this myself, Im going to close it up with over all this was a fantastic book in every way shape and form. It left me completely satisfied with its ending (unlike the 7th Harry Potter book did) and I wouldnt have changed one thing about it. Great job Stephenie, and I really hope any more books in the series are from Emmetts point of view!

Who doesn't love Twilight??
In the final installment in the Twilight Saga there is NEVER a dull moment.
Quite literally... There is ALWAYS something happening because there is so many lose ends to tie up. I love that Stephenie gives the readers everything they want.
There is nothing better then having a satisfying ending.

The end of the Twilight Saga was everything I could have wished for and more! Very surprising, but nonetheless amazing! I never would have expected that Edward and Bella would have a daughter and I wasnt even sure that Bella really would become a vampire. I was really worried about Jacob, because I didnt want him to keep suffering like he was, but luckily that was solved as well. The second part of the book, from Jacobs point of view, made me cry so much! I didnt realize how much pain he was in until Stephanie Meyer wrote from his perspective. I was really glad that he found someone to love who loves him back, even if shes still a baby. The gathering of the vampires from all over the world was interesting too because it gave you a better sense of how other vampires lived and acted. I also enjoyed reading about the different talents that the vampires possessed. Most importantly, though, is that Edward and Bella will be together forever.

This is my faorite book of the Twilight Saga. I went through it super fast because it was amazing. I can't believe how much drama was in this book. I love Bella and Edward and I was so excited that Renessme was able to live. I can't believe that Alice left the family. But I was so excited when she returned. I think that Stephenie Meyer is one of the best authors that I have ever came upon. She leaves suspense in the story until the very end of the book. Everything flows so well and it was easy to follow. I think that Stephenie Meyer should write books forever with characters like Bella and Edward. Read this Book!!!

This book is a great conclusion to this thrilling series. The book keeps you entertained throughout. The character list in the back of the book comes in handy when the new characters are introduced. This book is much more detailed than the others.
If you aren't a big Jacob fan, this book may get you disappointed. Jacob's book was actually one of my favorite parts just because of the chapter names. This book was actually my favorite in the series. Meyer also closed up the book pretty well,leaving little open.
