Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer (Twilight saga #4)




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.

My review: Ah, what can I say??!! The 'final' book in the Twilight saga - *sigh* oh Bella, oh Edward, oh Jacob and more. This was a good story, broken into 'three books' and continuing the story well. The emotions run high throughout and the turmoil evoked in it is well represented by Stephenie Meyers writing.

I found it hard not to route for the characters for a 'happy ending'. In their own way they got it, but there is scope for more stories from the Twilight 'families'. Maybe not from Bella's perspective, but definately more scope. The end was a little 'short', although after going back and re-reading it I realised Stephenie Meyer was 'invisiging' it to be like the ending of a movie, soft and romantic rather than 'book like' as in 'they lived happily ever after, the end'.

Well, written, be interested if Stephenie will return to Forks and the Cullens in the future, if so, then I'll be there reading more installments on them :) Would recommend this book, but you must read the others in the series too, you really MUST!!
