I checked these books out at the library and, as a writer myself, was shocked to learn that these could even be published. I would expect writing of this quality on fanfiction websites, or even high school students just looking to escape from reality. But the fact that a publishing house APPROVED this drivel to be sent out into the world is nothing short of upsetting. There are so many talented authors who struggle to become published, or whose books are seldom recognized. Meyer's books, if you even can call them books, are just an advertisement for teenage escapism--the type of literature that all young writers must overcome if they're ever to take pride in their work.

I have read all the Twilight books and this one is crazy! So much stuff is going on in this book, I loved it and will probably be reading it again soon.

I loved all the Twilight books. Before I got to book 3 and 4 - by the way I was completely hooked by 1 & 2 and couldn't put them down - I read reviews where people had shared how disappointed they were by Books 3 and 4 because they weren't as good as 1 & 2. I didn't slow down though and read book 3 then 4 and was pleasantly surprised and happy I didn't listen to the reviews too much.**SPOILER** It was fun to experience Bella's world as a vampire and the series has only left me wanting more!

Breaking Dawn or New Dawn
BEWARE...CONTAINS SPOILERS.
Breaking Dawn, the fourth book in a series of novels by Stephanie Meyer, stands alone from the pack. You can't even compare it to the other three books because of the character development and depth of emotional interplay that focuses the attention of a more mature reader. Not that the other three weren't filled with emotion and lively characters, but this novel moves from the teenage world to that of an adult with responsibility.
The progression of the titles is a metaphor for this change. The first book, Twilight, involved Bella's life in the dark and moving to a town that lacks sunshine for seven months. New Moon signifies a new chapter in Bella's life as she continues her relationship with Edward. Eclipse concerns the sadness of Edwards's departure and the happiness upon his return. In Breaking Dawn, Bella moves from the teenage world of the previous books into the sunshine of marriage, a child and her metamorphosis into a vampire.
I absolutely loved this book, but I felt that there might have been a little too much going on for one story. There were two parts to Breaking Dawn. Part one was in Bella's perspective, like the other three books were. Part two was in Jacob's perspective, and then part three went back to Bella's viewpoint. I think Stephanie Meyer should have put part one and part two together for one book then put part three into a separate story. It would have made the book easier to follow and definitely would make her fans happy knowing that there was another book after Breaking Dawn.
When I read Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse I found the books to be predictable. For example, in Eclipse when Edward left I knew he would return. But Breaking Dawn was a whole other story. I actually couldn't figure out what was coming next. I wasn't even sure if it would have a happily-ever-after. I suspect what we are seeing in this novel is the real life experiences of the author which naturally aren't predictable. Perhaps it's the author who is maturing, not the novels.
After finishing the first three novels, I was left with a satisfying "WOW," but with Breaking Dawn it was more of a "Whoa! What just happened?" I had to re-read a few passages to fully understand everything.
Breaking Dawn was a romantic, gripping and enjoyable read, filled with zippy one-liners and quirky anecdotes we've all come to adore, but one I had to put down often for reflection. As always, Meyer has left us satisfied, but instead of looking forward to a sequel, she's left us all hoping for a new series.

Whereas the previous books in this series focused on the very human and clumsy Bella and the vampire, Edward, this one is a book of Bella's transition into the vampire world. For me, this wasn't the best of the series, but a definite must read for fans. Some of the character conflicts were resolved a little too easily, but perhaps this was to make room for the story of the Volturi. Let's face it, Stephanie Meyer could have kept this series going for a long time, and in a way, I wish she had, rather than trying to resolve so much in one book. Parts of it seemed rushed towards a resolution, just so something else could happen. I thought there were way too many vampires introduced in this book and for me it was hard to keep up with who was who and what their history was. While there is a guide included at the end to help with this, it was still hard to follow. That said, I have totally enjoyed the series and this book as well.
