Breaking Dawn 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.

There was so much wrong with this book that I can't even begin to explain. Note that this review will have SPOILERS.
I think I'll start with the fact that to me, the entire book seemed lacking some key element that all the other books have had. And that key element was what made me one of the obsessed Twilighters. Breaking Dawn throughly cured that obsession, though.
While reading the book, I was constantly crying "no! What?? NO!" I admit, I couldn't put the book down, because I was waiting for Stephenie Meyer to pull it together. I simply couldn't believe what I was reading.
The first couple chapters of the book start with Edward and Bella having sex. That's all very nice, but Bella didn't give a dang about Jake. She "locked him away in her Jacob drawer." Pardon me, but he saved her life. However, by all means, lets "lock him away", shall we?
After the wedding, all the human characters were barely mentioned again. Bella doesn't need to be troubled with THEM anymore.
Bella gets pregnant. I must have missed something, because Edward has only venom in him. And if he does have anything else, shouldn't it be frozen?
Along with this, wasn't there supposed to be a sacrifice? Bella didn't have to spend a year as a newborn, and she developed amazing powers and "saved the day", and she certainly got that family. I was hoping for Bella to die in her pregnancy, especially when she continued going on about "Jake, are you coming back?" "Maybe..." "I might get cold, so come back."
SHE'S MARRIED! She should have tried to act like it.
So then when she gets changed, she manages to have one of those "rare" talents, just as Jake has one of those "rare" imprints.
I started reading this series after I heard a rave review on NPR during their "Guilty Pleasures" segment. The middle-aged gentleman described Twilight with such enthusiasm that I couldn't resist temptation. I bought the four-book set and settled in for a long weekend of reading.
Three days and 2400 pages later, I'd finished the four novels. I adored Twilight, tried not to slap whiny Bella during New Moon, and mostly skimmed through Eclipse trying to get to something interesting. Finally, I got to Breaking Dawn. I have never been so let down by a book in my entire life. I don't even need to go into all the ways that this book was horrible - the other reviewers have done that well. But, here I go anyway:
Wedding - So, Bella's wedding to Edward was not what she wanted, but what she was willing to trade for sex and immortality. The wedding itself was not her vision and in no way represented their unique love, but was instead a fantasy created fully by Alice's vision.
Honeymoon - Meyer is telling us that sex is scary and awful. You will have a lot of pain your first time and your husband, who puts you up on a pedestal, will hate himself for "hurting" you, no matter how yummy delicious it is. Oh, and once you do get some, it's pretty much the only thing you'll want, and your new hubby will reject you, mercilessly, due to his own hang ups. Woo! I gotta get me some of that!
Also, how come it's either a little french kissing or sex? How come no one ever talks about alllll that space in between those two extremes? What a perfect place for her to talk about sex and the implications of it, especially given her target audience.
Pregnancy - You will get pregnant the very first time you have sex.
