Breaking Dawn

Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

My review

rating: 2 of 5 stars
This was my least favorite book of the Twilight Saga. Stephenie Meyer uses over 700 pages of text to slowly, slowly attempt to reach a climax and ending, which I found dull and disappointing.



*SPOILERS*!!!

Once Bella becomes a vampire the novel (and series) lost it's original thread. What I found most intriguing about the first three books is how Bella is rooted in two seperate worlds -- one of myth and fantasy and one of high school reality. I thought this concept made the novels readable and showed Bella as a likable protagonist.



But her marriage to Edward? And then the birth of Renesmee? And Jacob's imprinting? And the alliance between shape shifters and vampires? And finally, FINALLY, the return of the Volturi (I waited and waited for more in depth Volturi description which was never given). Meyer turned an original idea into her own version of Harry Potter and it was uninteresting and far less creative and dramatic than the previous Twilight books.
