Editorial Reviews:

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.

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.

Terrific Book! February 18, 2009

Speaking from a woman, wife, and mother’s point of view, this last book was the perfect finale to a wonderfully tangled and passionate love story! From remembering my teenage years to the climax of adulthood (speaking as a fairly young mom!) through books 1 – 4, this series was hypnotic and addictive.

My 11 (nearly 12) year old daughter absolutely loves all things Edward and Bella as well. She was every bit as engrossed in their love story as I was all the way through book 4.

Personally, I can’t wait for Stephenie Meyer to complete and publish Midnight Sun. I hope that she re-writes the entire series from Edwards point of view! It is guaranteed to be just as enthralling in my opinion.

Very pleased February 17, 2009

I was very pleased with this audio book. It’s very well done and I love how her voice is very animated so you’re aware of who’s talking and gives a good feel for the mood, etc. There was also a guy’s voice for Jacob, so it fits the character much better when it was from his point of view.

Interesting Ending to Twilight Saga February 17, 2009

I was very pleased with all the Twilight books. Stephenie Meyer is a very talented writer and I look forward to reading other books of hers.

I would also recommend these books for your teenage (tween) children. My daughter is an avid reader and she enjoyed the book so much . . . she read them all twice!

Yeah we pretty much know all of this… February 10, 2009

but of course we remain in denial and make excuses. I enjoyed the book, and I knew that there would be lots of scenarios in it that I would know first hand. It helps when you have a guy telling you the truth..and I believe he is, I have some male friends who agree. If you are wondering where your relationship is going, or why he doesn’t call. He’s just not into you. So the moral of the story..leave and find someone who is.

not sure what sucks more the movie or book February 10, 2009

I should have written this book and made money off of it- or better yet I could have had my dog do it!!! Puhlease, in this day and age,after one date do you really think women go around banging there head on the wall because some man hasn’t called them? I think the movie just gave us women a bad name. We are much smarter than this book or movie leads the world to believe. We have got men figured out but SOME (a very small percentage) see the glass as half full. YES men, we do actually know your not that into us, but some of us like pretending to protect our own feelings. To the author of this book, stick to be being a funny guy.

“HE’S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU “ February 8, 2009
Change Is Good (Uniontown, PA)
This book is a must~read for ALL women who are currently in a relationship, have had past relationships, and are looking for a relationship. This book has some clear insight on men, and I believe can help women open up their eyes and see a little more clearly. Reflect back and take a look. And remember that you deserve nothing but the BEST!!!

Women who STILL depend on men for their self-esteem February 8, 2009

Apparently there are women who need to patronize other women, and soften the obvious by calling it their “belief”? Like it’s some sort of sacred “choice.”

To wit: “My belief is that if you have to be the aggressor, if you have to pursue, if you have to do the asking out, nine times out of 10, he’s just not that into you.”

Just say, “Sister, get over yourself.”

Men have waaay less trouble figuring out that if she doesn’t return a call or is always “busy,” she’s just not that into you.

Gals, it’s not brain surgery.

A nice reminder to never lower your standards! February 8, 2009

This book was very helpful when my brian quit working when it came to men. I found that the message of this book applied to many relationships, not just with loser men! If you’re trying to get your mind of that loser, then read this book! You’ll be suprised how much it will help, even if it’s not right away!
