Taru-chan` Sapphire Waterlilly What is wrong with some of you? Why on earth would you want somebody to die? Besides most people in the book are already dead!Whoa, whoa, whoa, now. Who died? Let's see, the antagonists died and, oh yeah, an extremely minor character named Irina died. And people who were dead before the series can't count since it was relevant to the series's plot.
I wanted some scarifices and if that meant a death, than I would have welcomed it.
Nothing was sacrificed at all.LOL ok I didn't realize people were strangely morbid. Nah my comment about most people being dead was a kind of joke because really, all vampires are already dead. And I will classify dead as being something with no heartbeat. I don't think Stephanie could kill off any of her characters anyway.

Laken louise I agree
I felt like i was reading some Fan-Fic. at the beginning.
And then when she got preggers, I was like what the F is going on.
But this book made me appreciate Jacob so much more and that says a lot since i was about to murder him in New Moon and Eclipse. I'm half/half with the whole Team Edward/Team Jacob thing now.
The book started to improve once it switched to Jacob's POV.
But I think it would have been better with an epic battle at the end, I wanted them to fight it out, but noooooo The Volturi (sp) are big chickens and don't want a somewhat even fight.
After the amazing show she put on with 'The Host' i had high expectations for this book and her, but she just majorly lowered them.
I still love her as a author but am thoughly disappointed in this book.
I'm going to re-read and hope to have my mind change but highly doubt it Lol. i loved seeing things through jacob's head, that was pretty funny! and i like him even more now! 3nodding i'm so happy he got a happy ending!
well anyways, yeah i wanted there to be a big fight too! i didn't necessarily want anyone to die but i don't think there was a lot of action in the book, but i still thought it was a good book! 3nodding heart the main point to me was to see if bella would turn into a vampire, if jacob would have a happy end, and if the werewolves and cullens would learn to get along after their alliance in eclipse! i think there was more but thats all i remember right now. so i was satisfied with Breaking Dawn even though i wanted there to be an epic battle 3nodding

I was severely disappointed by the lack of action. I mean, seriously. In Twilight, Bella is unconscious for the fight scene (which I'm so totally pumped for in the movie), in New Moon, there is basically none (by which I mean in the climax), in Eclipse you only see a small part, and finally in Breaking Dawn, there barely is any. I was expecting it to have action from the beginning all the way to the end, as a sort of repentance by Meyer, but nada.
I also got the feeling Meyer was trying to cram in as many things as possible. She seriously could have stopped the book at the end of Jacob's pov, and of course, including a chapter of Bella reacting to becoming a vampire as an epilogue or something. She could have also expanded Jacob's rebellion from the pack and actually should've had them almost brawling with both Jacob and Sam being held back by other pack members to exaggerate the effect of having two Alphas.
She could have picked it up in the fifth book by having Bella react to the blackness or something, and have an entire book devoted to Bella's vampire life. I hated the fact that Bella's and Jacob's romantic feelings go away like that when Jacob imprints on Renesmee because Jake and Bella never had to work through it. It was literally Bella feeling sorry for Jake for breaking his heart because she has already realized she loves him, and then bam, just platonic feelings again. I hated how Stephanie wrote that, because the book just ended too perfectly. She also definitely should have expanded the Volturi thing in the end, actually adding some fight scenes, because as you might already tell, I'm obsessed about those, and it just ticked me off that there were no action scenes there. Just Bella showing off her power, and Alec and Jane trying to break through. That's it. I'm seriously disappointed that there's no epic battle.
There's also some random stuff that were never addressed that I was hoping would be. Like for example, the mystery of Embry's father. Or what happens to Leah. I mean seriously, Meyer finally explains her character in the book, but we get no closure on her. And Charlie. In Eclipse, Bella deals with having to leave her human life behind, including all her family and friends, but in the end, she still visits Charlie and still is involved with his life.
I know this post criticizes almost everything about Breaking Dawn, but I still enjoyed the book, don't get me wrong.

Spoilers Ahead (didn't feel like whiting it out)
Yeah the book was different but that was kinda the point wasn't it... S Meyer said that once Bella becomes a vampire we don't really find ourselves relating to her very much and the first book kinda led up to that in some way.
Also, (@ twistedwords) There is no fourth book... Breakind Dawn is the last one, but S Meyer may write more books based off of the Twilight series in the future but they won't be centered around Bella and Edward (except Midnight Sun) They'll be spin-offs(for a lack of a better term) of other character's stories... she did say that if she were to write the stories then she might write Leah or Nessie's stories. And the extra information, like Embry's father, would probably be in the Official Guide to Twilight (I don't think that's the exact name but it something like that) which is coming out... Dec 30?

Why did we all want someone to die?
Because all the evil doers have in the past few books. It wouldn't have hurt for one of the Volturi to hit the sack...
I mean, Irina died, but it's not like she's a central character or anywhere near it.... Any of the cullens dying really is out of the picture, hell no.
I have a hunch that Stephenie didnt kill anyone because she still has plans for the saga in the not so near future. ninja
I wish.

I know that Breaking Dawn is the last (at least in Bella's saga) book, I was just saying that there was so much material in Breaking Dawn, she could have stretched it out into two books.

Nirati Last Harry Potter is filled with death omg gonk I think it would have been more appropriate if she had killed both of the twins.That way the other one wouldn't have to suffer. I kinda wish she would have killed someone else off.[WHITE TEXT] She could have so easily killed off AliceOMG but everyone would hate the book if Ms Meyer killed that person off ! ><

SIT THE F DOWN The begining was really surreal and just....insane!
I like the fact that it was unpredicatable...but it was just too way out there for me to handle!
The whole pregancy put me off...(I kept on thing about The Bride of Chucky, You know, giving birth do a demon who was apparently going to rip is was with its teeth! -shudders-)
I mean, I might have enjoyed it hadn't I known a bunch of 10-12 year olds read this...the faces of all those young girls at the midnight party were haunting me! I can just imagine there faces while the read the birthing scene!
But in whole, the book seemed so much more different then the others...Way too much happened at one...It was a giant leap away from Eclilpse...
I dunno, I kind of felt like I was reading a fan fic, rather the novel I have been waiting for.
In short, I have to say I'm dissapointed, My hype is totally gone...and now I'm starting to doubt the movie, as if my standards wern't low enought as it is...
Any one else feel like this?
I just hope after I re-read it...it'll make more scence YES! That's exactly right. I feel exactly the same.

I wanted an epic battle with lots of death! scream (Not that I'm crazy emo or something.) Like in Harry Potter. I was seriously expecting someone to die.
