Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
It might seem redundant to dismiss the fourth and final Twilight novel as escapist fantasy--but how else could anyone look at a romance about an ordinary, even clumsy teenager torn between a vampire and a werewolf, both of whom are willing to sacrifice their happiness for hers? Flaws and all, however, Meyer's first three novels touched on something powerful in their weird refraction of our culture's paradoxical messages about sex and sexuality. The conclusion is much thinner, despite its interminable length. [...] But that's not the main problem. Essentially, everyone gets everything they want, even if their desires necessitate an about-face in characterization or the messy introduction of some back story. Nobody has to renounce anything or suffer more than temporarily--in other words, grandeur is out. This isn't about happy endings; it's about gratification. A sign of the times? Ages 12–up.

Reviews Breaking Dawn -The Twilight Saga, Book 4


First off, all the spoilers, if you think about it...she knew what she was writing and she left many different loop holes while answering questions so that you can not sit there and say "She lied to us! She said it was impossible!"

Many people have said it seems like a glorified fanfic but isn't that what every writer is? They love their story lines and plot twists that they make it how they want it to be? I honestly did read some of the spoilers and thought "what?!?!" However, after reviewing those chapters and then reading the book, it really is a good story if you let your guard down. Many of you have these plot lines you WANT in the book but that isn't how SM planned it. I liked how the characters continued to develop and grow and how it shows that the bonds of friendship and family know no bounds and that justice will prevail in the proof of innocence.

Well worth the wait (and staying up 'til 5:30 to finish!). I was worried this last book couldn't adequately tie all the threads together. But the story threads weren't just neatly tied, they were woven beautifully in unanticipated ways. A great way to spend several hours in a thrilling tale. As a side note, I liked how the intimacy (it was Edward and Bella's honeymoon after all!) was hinted at, but not at all explicit. Sweet and sensual, yes. Purple prose like a cheap bodice-ripper? Not at all. Just an amazing read and series overall.
