Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ok, here's my take of Breaking Dawn:

**Warning!!! SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT!**

ALSO! This is a really long post with alot of my views of breaking dawn...so beware

I didn't hate it. I thought it was ok, but it definately wasn't my favorite. I have to say that it strayed VERY far from the other three books, and I know that she was supposed to get transformed and such, but to me it went a little farther than I would have liked.

The whole Bella getting pregnant bit kinda scared me...it was very awkward because it was so out of place...also, the honeymoon was sweet, but awkward. They had sex ALL THE TIME....i mean yea, he's hot and everything, but Bella never used to be so...so open about exposing her naked self to him. I do understand that they're married, but either way it seemed not like Bella. Also, her loving the cottage was strange because wasn't she always the city type? Eh, maybe her time in Forks changed that.

I know that it was necessary for Jacob to have a POV, but i thought it sort of ruined it for me...seeing Bella pregnant like that from his eyes made her seem like a stranger to me... also, her pregnancy seemed like a freaking YEAR with all the detail put into it...

I would have liked a battle scene, but I was fine with what happened. Well...except for the fact that the meadow scene got so dragged out to the point of boredom...ish....I also didn't like how all of a sudden Bella is a pro at her new accquired "shield" power...it seemed much too conveniant

I'm going to bring up this point again just because it bothered me the most: the loss of character. I feel like the characters in the book hit an arupt change at the start of the honeymoon. I couldn't see my Edward the same as I did in the other books. Same with Bella and Jacob. They all seemed...different...in the worst way. Sure, they all talked the same and such, but I still lost my images of them from the book. My only guess as to the reason why is because of the pregnancy and how out of place it seemed, the fact that we saw Jacob in his point of view miserable all the time and being the responsible "alpha", and the fact that Edward and Jacob weren't fighting over Bella anymore. Their whole fued was the main thing in New Moon and especially Eclipse...(by the by, Jacob's whole imprinting episode really freaked me out) I think i liked the more playful Jacob that kept trying to take her away from Edward...it was fun that way

And yes, I know that the transformation was supposed to be a real confidence-builder, but Bella's shot up so high that I kinda didn't see the same Bella that I love in there much...that made me sad...and of course Edward just got more and more mushy...really different

Maybe I'm being picky, but my mom and sister kind of agree with me. I honestly do love the book, but sometimes I thought that I was reading a really well-written fanfic online with really really bizarre twists that seemed inaccurate to the seires...I also hate change, and there definately was alot of change in the book...ALOT.

I actually really loved the parts in the book where Jake and Rose were going at it. It made me laugh. blaugh

But hey, these are just my views. Really, they don't matter as long as you loved it. I just really want to know if anybody else here agrees with me.

Next offense is a ban from the guild. Please, read the rules & look at the subforums. :/
