Ok. I liked the way that the book ended… BUT that is only because my heart could not take it if Edward or Bella really did die and the other one was forced to die as well. Such as they think the fight is over, Bella lets down her guard and someone gets Edward anyway. I really did not want anyone to die in a “fight” as I feel vampired/wolf fights are pretty discusting and nobody deserves that type of death. But I would have done more than just Bella blocking the torture. I would have interlocked more into using the superpowers. Such as have Benjamin make the sun shine, Zafrina conjure up a mirage for the Valturi from Renesme’s memory of the humans she knew (like Charlie) “catching the vampires” and instead of just protecting the good guys from harm, Bella is able to reflect the torture back to the Volturi. And yes, I thought we would see a new alience began where the Vulturi is not able to come back to bother the “good vampires” and maybe go more in depth about the “soul” issue…not just forever. It just leaves you hanging, you know?
I was bawling my eyes out by the end of the Jacob section because I thought for sure he was going to kill the baby and then find out later that Bella lived. Didn’t see the imprinting coming.

i really actually liked breaking dawn, i had no idea that no-one didnt like it untill i came on the internet. i was pleased with ALL of it. every aspect, its has more humour and everything, its very romantic, and its were edward becomes more of the backbone, more of the optomist. i liked the renesmee idea. i liked it all! everyone saying that stephenie took too long talking about the preperation for fighting the volturi.. if you have really read the books, you will know that NO-ONE has ever beaten the volturi and the Cullens dont fell they can either. i just think people are really nit-picking. its silly, i loved it and loved the ending it made me smile at the last two pages . and wow.. stephenie included ‘sex’..shocker. we all knew something like that would happen, you just have to read the way that they kiss in the first 3. i really think that people just need to stop judging.. i mean at the end of the day stephenie couldnt have pleased EVERYONE, its how she wanted the series to end, and if she’s happy with it then why are everyone going on and on? i think you just all need to move on and really look at the good points of the book. as you so rightly point out in this post.

Hi Great post. I agree with most of you that the fight scene … or not fight scene was kind of a flop but I think BD is great. Except for the fight I wouldnt have it any other way. I love how it all comes together even for Jacob. It works out how things are supposed to work out. Fall in love get married then have baby. BD answered alot of questions for me that I had in the other books. I know Meyers seems to be tired of the vampire story but if she ever decides to publish another book related to the twilight series I will buy every book or movie associated with it.

I thought Breaking Dawn was an excellent book, beautifully written and very clear and concise. It was the perfect next-step after Eclipse and volturi fight?? No thanks, Carlisle’s gentleness and the Volturi’s obsession for upholding the law combined with Bella’s (awesome) gift was the perfect combination to stop the fight. YAY STEPHENIE MEYER!!!

im in luv with the series but some part of the BD disappoint me……..

hheello why did Stephenie didnt continue the volturi fight? almost half of the book concentrate on preparing for the it………and they will just back off like that?

Yay! I love people who love BD. There are so many great moments…especially after Bella becomes a vampire. She’s hilarious with that stuff.

Very intelligent commentary, Kristina. I loved Breaking Dawn and thought it the perfect ending for the series. A couple of my favorite parts were the fact that Bella took to drinking blood so easily for the sake of her baby when the sight of it had made her faint previously — it struck me as quite humorous the way that was brought in. Also, I laughed out loud when soon after she became a vampire Bella exlaimed, “Geez, Jake, you really do stink! Now I know what everyone was talking about!” (paraphrase)

Well, Stephenie DID leave it open for the future. Like they said, eventually the Volturi would stop licking their wounds and figure out how to come after everyone – especially the Cullens.

I would gladly read book after book about any of the vampires…even prequels. For instance – I’d love to actually SEE Alice and Jasper’s story… or Edward’s early days with Carlisle.

Jac Star, I am kinda hoping that Stephenie decides to go the Anne Rice route and start exploring the back stories of more of her characters. I would love to hear more about some of the other vamps mentioned in the series. – Mike

yep, after the whole thing was said and done i liked that all the Cullens lived happily ever after

but it wouldn’t have been so terrible if one of the bad guys died.

Imagine one of the volturi turning on their own. the war would have nothing to do with the Cullens and they could leave

also, it would open the field for future books – like what would happen in the vampire world if a new reign was in place?
