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.

 Perfect Saga Ending October 13, 2008
Loved this book. Was a great final story to the vampire family that you can't help but love. I was happy about the closure it brought, but extremely sad to have to let these characters go. Best series I have read in a really long time.
Best of the Lot October 13, 2008

Ms. Meyers saved the best for last. In this incredible final sequel to Twilight, all the danger comes and the ending is thrilling and scary and satisfying. A great read.
 I wish she had ended it in #3 October 13, 2008
It felt like #3 was supposed to be the end...somehow, I figure her publisher saw $$$ and begged her to squeeze out another novel in the series. It wasn't unbearable, but it wasn't fantastic either. I flew through the first 3 books as they came, but by the fourth I felt like, "Alright, already!!!" I forced myself to keep going. It was tedious at times and lost a lot of the mood and momentum of the first 3 books.
MOMS-Please read: I am a middle school teacher and a mom as well. This book has a lot of implied sexual contact that you might want to discuss with your daughters and remind them that Bella and Edward are married. I'm not a prude when it comes to what I am reading for myself, but I almost cringe when my students tell me they are reading this book!
If you have read the first three, you might as well finish. Yes, the book is very "happily ever after," but isn't that what chick-lit is all about? What did people expect?
 I'd like the blue pill, please October 13, 2008

It would be better if this book didn't even exist. After I read halfway through it, I wanted to put it down and pretend like I'd never read any of it. There were some good parts and plot twists, but other parts are too strange and simply unsettling to let go. This was NOT a good way to end the series. It should've been like the seventh Harry Potter book, with a battle of good vs. evil at the end with a few casualties on the side. It wasn't. It was a cop-out.
I don't regret buying the book simply because I liked the wolf parts, but everything from the middle on was unbearable. I went from being the Switzerland of the Jake-Edward debate to being fully pro-Edward and feeling sorry for Jake. Stephenie Meyer ruined him. It was like she didn't even write the last book. Good ideas were twisted and mutilated into stupid and happy-go-lucky crap. Sorry, fans of this book.
If you like Twilight, buy this book used. Save yourself some money. It's worth reading and keeping as a collector's item, but I wanted to go back and mark out all the idiotic parts. That would include blacking out all but maybe twenty or thirty pages.
 Much better than Eclipse... October 12, 2008

I like books 1 & 2, didn't like Eclipse too well.
*** Spoilers***
I thought Meyer did an excellent job of tying up loose ends in Breaking Dawn. There are a few things that bothered me...I did not like Jake imprinting on the baby, although I saw it coming as the book progressed. Why not Leah?? Couldn't he just want to protect Nessie because she is half human, that half being from the woman he loved? I also hated the name Reneesme...please?! And i did feel some compassion for Rose..
For those that love the other books, I don't think you will be disappointed. If you were barely holding on with Eclipse, then some of what goes down in this installment will probably have you rolling your eyes..a LOT.
