Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Stephenie Meyer

OVERVIEW: The fourth installment of the 'Twilight' series, written by Stephenie Meyer, about a normal girl who falls in love with a vampire. Firstly, it is impossible to review this book without revealing at least a few 'spoilers'. Although 'Breaking Dawn' is the last in a series of books, it does not feature the conclusion of an overall arc, it is rather more a standalone story with familiar characters and that is why some information being given is unavoidable. I will, however, not reveal the results of the overall plot, I promise! The 'Twilight' series has been called 'the new Harry Potter', for reasons I am yet to understand. It ...  Read the complete review

I warn you now, this book is the final book of four and is all about situations that have already happened in the previous books and the situations as a result of what happens towards the end of Eclipse and the start of this one; therefore it is difficult to comment on the plot without confirming/disproving some of the things hinted at in the end of Eclipse. Don't read if you fear a spoiler coming on!! Previously I've reviewed Twilight the movie without having read the books or foreseeing that I would become completely absorbed in the whole saga...oh how times have changed. So here I am; downhearted at having finally finished the last book last night and ...  Read the complete review

Stephenie Meyer brings us the fourth and final book in the Twilight saga in 'Breaking Dawn'. Following on from where 'Twilight', 'New Moon' and 'Eclipse' left off, it starts with the wedding of Bella and Edward, the unlikely couple from the first three books. Bella Swan, the ditzy nervous human teenager and Edward Cullen the strong handsome Vampire. This book includes Jacob more than ever, and slightly less of the rest Cullens. We meet more vampires, and learn more about the ancient history of the bloodsuckers. It brings to a close the series with a bang. I bought the Special Edition book from Amazon for a reasonable price considering that it's a ...  Read the complete review

Breaking Dawn is the fourth book and final book in the 'Twilight' saga by bestselling author Stephenie Meyer. It's a huge book almost double the size of the previous book, but once you start reading, the story involves you so much that you don't notice how long it is! The book opens a few days before Edward and Bella's wedding. This is a huge moment for them, as once married Edward will have to change Bella into a vampire to obey the command of the Volturi, the leading council of vampires. The wedding is a beautiful day although Bella misses Jacob who has disappeared into Canada, unable to face watching Bella & Edward marry, however Jacob turns ...  Read the complete review

Breaking Dawn is the fourth book in Stephenie Meyer's series, aimed mainly at the teenage girl market, with elements of romance slightly outweighing those of horror, fantasy and action. It is a brilliantly scripted fourth book, and does the other three justice. It is worth pointing out that it would be very hard to read this book as a stand alone novel, as events that have occurred in the previous three books are very relevant, and I feel you may flounder with incomprehension should you attempt this fourth tale without the experience of the first three under your belt. Similarly, in reviewing this fourth book, I may reveal elements of these previous ...  Read the complete review
