I wasn't sure where to put this, but I think that Fantasy is probably the best match.

Who's reading/read Breaking Dawn! Please, if you've finished it, don't spoil!

I bought it at midnight at a book release party. I made little black armbands with red letters for my friends. There were Team Edward armbands (that's the one I wore) Team Jacob, and Team ?. I didn't make a Team Mike armband because, seriously, who's on Team Mike?

I feel like her writing has improved with this one! With the first 3 books, I thought the story was good, but the writing was pretty awful. Breaking Dawn seems to be an improvement, maybe because there's less dialogue.

Anyone have non-spoilery thoughts about the book?

I've never read it, but it must be quite nice to see an improvement in an author's writing style. 3nodding

I had the book pre-ordered and picked it up the day of. I wanted to go to the release party, but sadly I couldn't.

I have finished it and you're right... I too have noticed an improvement in her writing. I think it has been much needed and she ended the last book with a bang.

I bought the book when I finished Eclipse because they didn't have a copy at the library and I needed to finish the series. I liked it and thought that her writing style had improved a little but she still has a ways to go.

Well she is only been writing for a short time, and the whole story was inspired by a dream, remember? I liked the storyline though. A very interesting series. smile

I requested this from the library and read it in one day. Fantastic book. Truly an "original" author.

Now that I've read it, I'm actually amazed to see the improvement in her writing. She's kept what she did well (descriptions, in my opinion), and gotten better at what she did poorly (foreshadowing sweatdrop ). I was surprised by how much I liked this book, and now I honestly want to read her next one.
