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.

From Publishers Weekly
It might seem redundant to dismiss the fourth and final Twilight novel as escapist fantasy--but how else could anyone look at a romance about an ordinary, even clumsy teenager torn between a vampire and a werewolf, both of whom are willing to sacrifice their happiness for hers? Flaws and all, however, Meyer's first three novels touched on something powerful in their weird refraction of our culture's paradoxical messages about sex and sexuality. The conclusion is much thinner, despite its interminable length. [...] But that's not the main problem. Essentially, everyone gets everything they want, even if their desires necessitate an about-face in characterization or the messy introduction of some back story. Nobody has to renounce anything or suffer more than temporarily--in other words, grandeur is out. This isn't about happy endings; it's about gratification. A sign of the times? Ages 12–up.

Get Over It
Ok so my sissy got me hooked on the twilight series and I am so in love with them. When I was going to buy the 4th book I was reading the reviews and was very disappointed when everyone was bashing the book as terrible. It is in no way terrible it is awesome! It was how it was suppose to end a true happy ending. People say that Bella wasn't suppose to get everything that she wanted (handsome husband, child, best friend, money, immortal,beauty, great sex, etc.) that life isn't that way but people, remember that this is FICTION as well as a YOUNG ADULT series. Would we really have wanted to see something bad happen to Bella, Edward, Jacob, the Cullens? The answer is NO. OH and give it a rest with the literary BS that some people are talking about like plot, character development, etc. GET OVER YOURSELF! If you want literary masterpieces then read the classics and steer away from Young Adult sections. This is an amazing book with great resolution at the end. A true twilight fan will love that all is well in the vampire world. Don't let the other crappy reviews taint your opinion. Yes the book is sappy and all matters are resolved a true fairy-tale ending.

Disappointed
I was very disappointed at this book, looking at the other 3 previous books. Everything was very expected and it was all obvious. Pregnant part was the only unusual part because i didn't know that it'll come so early in the book.
I don't want to write all the details but the book disappointed me.. I thought Stephenie could've wrote a much better story.

MIND BLOWING!!!
What an amazing end to the series! I've spent the past several nights reading this giant and it killed me to put it down every single time. Stephanie Meyer truly delivered with this one.

As for her critics here, I'm a little put off by your judgmental attitudes. We're here to review a BOOK, not a fictional character's personal life choices. I was married at eighteen to the man of my dreams. That was nine years ago and we are still very happy together and have two beautiful young children. Getting married young is sometimes the natural conclusion to choosing purity. There's nothing wrong with that at all. In fact, a few generations ago, getting married at 18 was completely normal. You know...back when marriages used to LAST???

And besides all that, Bella and Edward clearly have a supernatural connection. There is nothing NORMAL about their relationship. So WHY are you trying to place normal societal standards on them? Good grief, people, we're talking about VAMPIRES here.

In the end, the popularity of this series speaks for itself. If you don't like Stephanie Meyer's choices, go write your own book.
