What a waste.. - Rated 
I wish I didn't read this book. I thought twilight was great in a thrashy, teenage girl way and the other two were so so. This is just horrendous. I sort of enjoyed the first part about the wedding but it's all downhill from there.. As soon as the word "little nudger" appears. eurgh! I'm going to pretend the series ended with twilight, with the addition of Edward changing Bella at the end. The other two books are worth a look as they have their moments but stay away from this!
Don't know what everyone is complaining about - Rated 
I purposefully avoided looking at reviews when I bought Breaking Dawn as I had loved the previous books so much I felt it wasn't necessary, also I had noticed that people can't seem to help but include spoilers in their reviews. (Something I feel amazon should police) Having read the book I decided to come back on and have a look at what had been written and maybe contribute myself and to be honest I was shocked. There are so many negative reviews on here and I can't understand it, these people who have clearly not enjoyed the earlier books either, why bother reading the others and then complaining about it?
I absolutely loved this book, as I've loved the whole series. I am not the teen reader it is aimed at but a 23 year old bookworm who can't resist a vampire saga, espeically one with a love twist! I think perhaps the negative reviews stem from people who have just forgotten that its aimed at teenagers and except a deep, heavy and also sexy novel, it has enough of all those things to really suck you in but it remains a teen novel through and through. This isn't a criticism but it is a warning, if you're expecting something more and didn't like the other books perhaps this isn't for you.
I first read Twilight when I saw the film was due to come out and before I could even think I was back on Amazon ordering the others. Breaking Dawn was the one I was most looked forward to, surely Bella must finally become a vampire and I couldn't wait to find out. I started reading this book at 4pm and other than breaking to eat I read straight through until I finished it at 1am...I just could not make myself go to sleep. Then because I'd read it so fast I started it again 2 days later. If you have enjoyed the saga so far then you will love how this turns out. There were definitely some unexpected plot twists which once I got over the shock I thought were brilliant. As to those people who didn't enjoy the Jacob Black POV, I thought it was a brilliant way to explain the story as Bella and Edward would have been too involved in this particular twist to give it the full descriptions it required. I must admit, while I loved Jacob Black in parts of the previous books I became very frustrated with his dark side as a werewolf, I felt in a lot of ways he had become a completely different person, a whole personality bypass but this final book just shows Stephenie Meyer's incredible skill in that you are given more of an opportunity to understand him and he is even given more of a chance to come to terms with what and who he is. His changes become more absorbed and I loved to see flashes of the old Jacob.
I feel I have given a massive review here and not even scratched the surface, in my opinion a fantastic end to the saga, although I can always hope we'll hear more of Edward and Bella in the future. Now I only have to cross my fingers and wait for Midnight Sun which I will pre order as soon as it become available, Edward's POV is probably the most irristable of all! Part of me is hoping Stephenie Meyer will consent to doing all the books from his POV...Perhaps way too much to ask but I can always hope!
Breaking Dawn - The Most Amazing End to these Amazing Books - Rated
Breaking Dawn is an amazing end to this series of books. The whole series is full of action, romance and adventure and they are the most hardest books to put down. When i was reading Twilight for the first time i couldn't put the book down at all, i read it all within a day and couldnt wait to get my hands on New Moon. It was all very irritating, not owning the books and having to take them out of the library and i was over the moon when i got the first three books for Christmas this year. Of course i had to get Breaking Dawn because the little previews at the end of the books had left my hanging, waiting to see what happened.
Breaking Dawn was the hardest to put down. It is very action packed and at no point in the book was i bored.
At first the 'mini-book' from Jacobs point of view annoyed me a bit but once i had got my head around who was telling the story it made the whole book more realistic. I think its quite good to hear the story from another perspective.
These Books are highly recommendable for ages 13+ and are a great way to get Teens back into reading.
Enjoy Reading :)
PS. Even if you have seen the film...do not skip the first book as the film skipped out a few things and there is alot of important infomation that you would miss out on and you would find understanding the books a lot harder later :D
Not the best, not the worst - Rated 
This book is not a fit closing for books as great as twilight and Eclipse. Unlike the other Books, it is plot driven not character driven, and as a result The characters we have grown to love are completely different.
If you've read the First three books, then sure read this one.
If you've not read the twilight saga, I would Advise it to anyone!! Breaking dawn sucks really but the other 3 are amazing.
LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!! - Rated
I absolutely adored this book! I think it was written very well and had extrodinary twists and suprises! This book has a 'few' bad comments which to me are nonsense. Personaly i dont particularly like jacob black but when it is written from his perspective it is rather facinating.
The first part is on bella and edwards wedding and honeymoon!!! I don't want to give anything away but I was suprised by what happened there and how it followed. I am especially pleased with the fact that bella chose Edward although the should have been more careful .......I wont give much away aboutg the other parts because that would be a MASSIVE spolier!
A DEFINATE MUST! READ!!!
I think they will have to think the film through very seriously because they will have to have advanced effects, and dial scenes down a little so it can scrape a 12 rating.
One more thing i would add is that the books stick with you and you cant get the excitment out of your head. I am sad that the books are finished. But i will read them over and over again!!!!
