Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4)

When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?

To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs.

Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating, and unfathomable, consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella's life--first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse--seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed... forever?

The astonishing, breathlessly anticipated conclusion to the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.

Slightly dazed and baffled but glad......I finished the series
Okay so here's my spoiler free review. I went and saw the movie and immediately afterwards, I ran out and bought the first book Twilight. I'm so glad I did. Meyer's writing is captivating and the book was a page turner. Less than a week later, I had managed to read all four. In Breaking Dawn there were twists and turns and ups and downs all the way through. Moments that made me scratch my head and grit my teeth but I hung in there like a faithful fan should. I felt I owed it to myself and to Stephanie Meyer who has given me the most delightful and thrilling reading experience that I've had in a long time probably ever. The first three novels thrilled me and touched me in such a way that I almost felt that I could just forgive a disjointed ride through a fourth.

I will tell you as a thirty-something teacher that I want to encourage parents to consider reading it through before you let your pre-teens and young teens read it because it is a departure from the first three books in terms of introducing some adult themes and content. In defense of Meyers, I think she handles these themes with a huge amount of decorum and sensitivity for her teenaged readers. In any case, judge for yourself if it is appropriate for them to read or if it may require some discussion. Sorry, that's just the high school teacher in me.

I'm already zipping through the first three books again. Another first for me but I honestly have to tell you that I don't plan to read Breaking Dawn again any time soon even though I'm so glad that I did. If the early books have done anything similiar for you, go ahead and commit to the fourth and make your own judgements. I promise you at the end of the day you will feel some sense of closure and exhilaration at having experienced such a surreal and inspiring love story that is already cherished by so many people worldwide.

Best Book in Twilight Series
This book was my favorite out of the Twilight Series. I loved the others, but I could not put this one down. I wish they'd make a movie out of it, although it'd have to be 3 hours long and difficult to make.
I am not able to get this book out of my head... it was definitly the best book I've ever read.
