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 thought Stephanie Meyer did an excellent job writing the wedding and the honeymoon. It was very romantic, yet tasteful and drew me completely into the book. I also loved how she did the pregnancy from Jacob's perspective. I wondered how Edward would eventually turn Bella into a vampire. I thought it was perfect how he turned her just after she had given birth. I laughed when she beat Emmett in arm wrestling but the whole Volutri situation disappointed in the end. Stephanie builds up this intense climax with the Volutri coming and then nothing happens. they just walk away. I was hoping after Bella displayed her powers there would be a battle. Plus I thought Jacob imprinting on "Nessie" was too much. I rolled my eyes when I read that. I was hoping he would have become closer to Leah. I did like how she was finally able to let Edward into her mind. It was pretty good but not as good as the first three.
Amazing, yet again. August 28, 2008

Absolutely breathtaking, the fourth book of the Twilight saga is by far the most intricate, delving deeper into the complicated facets of Meyer's magical world of innate abilities and immortals. The sexual element that was more demure in the first three books was stronger here, but still not graphic, keeping it appropriate for slightly younger audiences. I eagerly await further work from this author.
Great Book from an older reader.... August 28, 2008

All the negative reviews at the beginning are ridiculous. This is a fantastic book that wraps up an amazing story line, Thank you for not dragging it into a sequel after sequel soap opera. This started with a bang (Twilight) and ended wonderfully. Those whining critics wanted to see a soap opera of the Bella, Edward, Jacob triangle.
Read it you'll enjoy it, but you have to read the first 3 books first!
great ending, great book and great story. August 28, 2008

I know many of you are a bit disappointed, but after reading shakespeare, jane austen, the bronte sisters and more i can say this is a really good book, it had a happy ending, and i just loved it. I understand there may be some parts that other fans didn't realy enjoy, but from my point of view, bella got what she deserved, i think Jacob and Renesme were an unexpected but effective twist in the plot, and the fact that Bella got married at 18 is just like any other fairy tale in which the princess gets her charming prince or knight in shinning armor or whatever you want to call it. The danger was present in every moment of the story, and Charlie (if you read between the lines) at some point is going to become what bella must give up because she is going to need to leave at some point soon (cause the time is going to pass and since she can't grow old that's a given) with the excuse that she is going to go to college, and Jacob with them, folowing Renesme, the object of his impinting. Renee is already out of the question since she lives in florida, the land of the sun, so it is quite improbable for Bella to see her again unless Rene would want to visit Forks, which is very unlikely. The story for me is perfect, and I just hope that Stephenie will do as she promised and publish more book from different perspectives because she already said that from Bella's perspective the story was pretty much done and Renesme or Jacob would be a good path to follow, and wait patiently for the release of "Midnight Sun".
I really enjoyed "Breaking Dawn" and think of it as the Romeo and Juliet of the 21st century but with the happy ending.
