Product Description:
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.
Amazon.com Review:
Great love stories thrive on sacrifice. Throughout The Twilight Saga (Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse), Stephenie Meyer has emulated great love stories--Romeo and Juliet, Wuthering Heights--with the fated, yet perpetually doomed love of Bella (the human girl) and Edward (the vampire who feeds on animals instead of humans). In Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final installment in the series, Bella’s story plays out in some unexpected ways. The ongoing conflicts that made this series so compelling--a human girl in love with a vampire, a werewolf in love with a human girl, the generations-long feud between werewolves and vampires--resolve pretty quickly, apparently so that Meyer could focus on Bella’s latest opportunity for self-sacrifice: giving her life for someone she loves even more than Edward. How close she comes to actually making that sacrifice is questionable, which is a big shift from the earlier books. Even though you knew Bella would make it through somehow, the threats to her life, and to her relationship with Edward, had previously always felt real. It’s as if Meyer was afraid of hurting her characters too much, which is unfortunate, because the pain Bella suffered at losing Edward in New Moon, and the pain Jacob suffered at losing Bella again and again, are the fire and the heart that drive the whole series. Diehard fans will stick with Bella, Edward, and Jacob for as many twists and turns as possible, but after most of the characters get what they want with little sacrifice, some readers may have a harder time caring what happens next.

The Fourth book in this series has taken a lot of negative flack, very undeserved. I found it immensely satisfying and the sort of ending I had hoped for after the second book. The characters are full bodied and emotionally enjoyable.

I really liked it. Maybe it was because I read all 4 books back to back at once and there was no anticipation of waiting.

**SPOILERS***
Like many others, I was so VERY disappointed with this book. Where did the characters we love go? Where did the beautiful love story go? The characters were one dimensional and obnoxious and the story was boring and weird. It made me wonder if the author has strange hang ups about sex. In the other three books, the kissing scenes were nice for the most part (until Edward would have his intense mood swings... guilt, anger, etc.). In this book, the scenes of intimacy were ...

The fourth book to her Twilight series is by far the best. Stephenie Meyer has twists and turns throughout the book that leave you on the edge of your seat. I absolutely love this book. I wish it never ended.

Breaking Dawn
The book I read is Breaking Dawn, by Stephenie Meyer. Breaking Dawn is a fictional romance book.
The two main characters in my book are Edward Cullin and Bella Swan. In Breaking Dawn, Edward and Bella get married and have a child named Renesmee. While Bella was pregnant with Renesmee, she almost died. The baby inside her was slowly killing her. Not because she was weak, but because Renesmee was half vampire like her father. While Bella was giving birth ... Read More
