It felt like I had never wanted anything so badly before this: to be able to protect what I loved.

I shook it off. "They're just dreams, Edward." "Do you want mne to sing to you? Tll sing all night if it will keep the bad dreams away."

 Does anything sound particularly good to you, Bella?" sound Eggs "

I hadn't seen himn undressed. I would have sworn there was nothing more beautiful than Edward in his khakis

de kindertijd loopt niet van de geboorte tot een bepaalde leeftijd, waarna op een bepaalde leeftijd het kind volwassen is, en zich niet meer met kinder dingen bezig houdt. De kindertijd is het Koninkrijk waarin niemand sterft.

William Shakespeare, Een midzomernachtsdroom-Akte III scène I

Maar om je de waarheid te zeggen, rede en liefde gaan nog maar zelden samen tegenwoordig.

the first half of the book was pretty insufferable. BUT when bella turned into a vampire shit got good! the ending was both exciting and sweet

jak už jsem říkala, tenhle díl zachránil celou sérii. líbilo se mi úplně všechno, výtky snad ani nemám. první část byla pomalejší a nudnější, ale nebyla špatná, pak nastala druhá část, kde se to všechno pomalu rozjíždělo, a třetí část byla samozřejmě nejzajímavější. fakt se mi to líbilo a celý prožitek ze série mi to o hodně zlepšilo. ten konec byl skvělé napsaný, celkově Stephenie umí psát, to jí musím uznat. bavilo mě to, nebylo tam tolik sladkých řečí, bylo to fajn.

5*/5*, nakonec vám přece jen twilight ságu doporučím.

So good but I didn’t like the Jacob POV section it went on for too long

served in many aspects, other aspects require a court case.

A pesar de que Bella, dieciocho años de edad, ingrese en el mundo sombrío pero seductor de los inmortales por casarse con el vampiro Edward, ella sigue sin romper con el poderoso hombre lobo Jacob.

           Ay, que coraje todo este libro.
En el libro como en la película, me hubiera quedado hasta la parte de la luna de miel donde por fin realizan "El dulce acto amatorio" y ya, fin... Pero no, la Meyer tenía que armar su desmadre sin chiste que nomas dio frustración.
¿EN QUÉ PLANETA PENSÓ QUE JUNTAR AL JACOBO CON LA HIJA DEL EDUARDO Y LA BELLA ERA BUENA IDEA? Todo mal, todo lleno de ñañaras.

¿Cómo desleo esto?

I've not read any of the other Twilight books except for this one. I was babysitting this doorstopper because a classmate of mine had left it in her desk before we broke up for the Christmas holidays. So, at her request, I lugged it all the way home to prevent it from being stolen. Mind you, the book had just been released so it was the hardback I was carrying. 

After finishing my pile of Christmas homework, I decided to crack this one open because I wanted to see what all the fuss is about. And erm, 12 year old me was thoroughly perplexed. Not because I'd not read a previous entry in the series before, but because it was just so bland, boring and simple. It was pretty easy to follow despite ignoring the other four books. There wasn't really much of substance. And I still don't understand why it needed to be so long.

What did, however, shock me was the fact that Edward was a plank of wood nonce and Jacob was an angry nonce. Like these two gross men are what had the girls at school fighting? 

Yeah, I hate it.

Foreword: I am marking this review as having spoilers even though I think I am the last person on Earth to read them. 

Well, friends, the day has finally come. I have finished the Twilight Saga. I will not lie; these are the only books I have read in the past six months and while I am so grateful that they pulled me out of my reading slump, they all blend together lol. 

Alas! Edward and Bella are finally married! Their wedding sounded beautiful and I am sure Alice can throw a killer party. I would say though that this installment is kind of weird when separating this book from the blob of a blur that the entire series has in my mind. 

Jacob of course almost ruins the wedding after learning that the newly weds were going on a honeymoon. It is interesting when I think about how only Jacob and Sam seem to have been in love before finding their imprints. 

When Edward and Bella finally go on their honeymoon I wish they had gone to someplace more "real" so that they could have had more world to interact with. Instead the first large portion of the book was just Bella wanting to have sex with Edward and them in turn wrecking the beautiful house on their family's private island. Where do they get their money anyway? I get they are old asf and Carlisle is a doctor but the man never seems to have gone back to work after the family returned to forks. 

When they finally get back Bella is pregnant and then is just gets really sick until she realizes that drinking human blood as a human is the only thing to satisfy the baby. Ew! I bruise easily but I am scared to see her in the movies because the descriptions seem so graphic lol.

Moving on until after Renessmee's birth, I did think it was funny how badly Jacob was hating on her until he imprinted on her. I also understand that "ohh its not like that when they are babies" but uhhh who comes up with that idea in the first place. Also for how much Jacob resented Edward for so long I can't believe he would imprint on someone so close to him no matter her connection to Bella or not. 

Overall, this book was the WORST when it came to the action at the end! What the heck! There wasn't even a fight! You were just waiting until they decided not to fight. I knew exactly this would happen when I got 80% of the way through and it was all talk about impending things and not actual things happening. 

All in all, I thought this series was such a fun group of books to read to get back into reading and I really enjoy watching the relationships strengthen between the characters and family. Also Charlie and Sue! How cute. Also also I would die for Seth Clearwater, love that kid. 

Okay, now to find something else to read!

I read the whole twilight series the past week and my thoughts before reading the books were that I wanted to know why there was a whole fandom about this one series. If I'm speaking truly about all of the series it was okay and I mean that in a reasonable way. The fourth book was truly exceptional. It had all the aspects of a satisfactory novel and I admired that. Breaking Dawn would have been my favourite in the series if it wasn't for Midnight Sun. My favourite in the series is Midnight Sun but Breaking Dawn still gives it a run for it's money. I read Breaking Dawn in one day, which maybe if I read it in two days might have made me appreciate it more.

A good book, though it did drag in parts. I did find it boring in places but it was a good book.

Haylie

i kinda liked it. it isn't something to get all excited for.

Hannah Calverley

Do you know how long this took me? 
Forever and forever and forever. 

But I loved it.

Nicole Sonja

I'm so relieved it's over. It was so bad, but I can see now how addictive this series might be and I genuinely have reason to hate it now.

Mark-Olivier

This one is my favorite. It is big but so much is happening. Bella is still kind of a pain in the ass but it is bearable. Edward had is asshole moment but it was not really that important. Jacob, well... it's Jacob. He is still an asshole but, at the end, we like him better because we understand. 
A book this big has its lenghts but, oh well. The only thing i didn't really enjoy, is the part for Jacob's POV. It was interesting but too long for my liking. 
<spoiler> The wedding is nice, the pregancy is intense, the preparation to the battle/the battle itself is really cool. The only thing I always wanted more is scenes with Bella being a vampire. We have had more of it in the books than the movie but still. </spoiler>.

Twilight tempted the imagination . . . New Moon made readers thirsty for more . . . Eclipse turned the saga into a worldwide phenomenon . . . And now - the book that everyone has been waiting for . . . Breaking Dawn. In the much anticipated fourth book in Stephenie Meyer's love story, questions will be answered and the fate of Bella and Edward will be revealed.

Reading this series the first time was the ultimate caving act as far as peer pressure went. Sadly, though, my first read was characterised by an incredibly snobbish attitude. @ Pas self: Get over it . Liking romance and "girly" stuff is allowed. Cool , even .
What's changed now, you ask?


Well... Adolescence in full vampire craze happened. And early 20s, yes. No, I don't do phases. If I like something, I like it. Which is what I feel towards vampire-centered fiction, just to be extremely clear. Except, I've finally put a finger on why Twilight doesn't evoke homey, warm feelings in me: such an easy read as it is, it lacks... bite. (Can't resist a pun) My fave tv show as a teen was TVD (Which still causes the aforementioned warm fuzzies. And quote-alongs. And rewatches. You got the gist) and I adored Buffy. Why? Because the vamps controlled themselves and still behaved like vamps and the romance was way spicier
(If you read this last sentence and didn't think of Damon or Spike, I've officially failed at references).
