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.

If you want to become aggravated then give this book a read!
Meyer was never a great writer but her books always had a great story so I overlooked the horrible writing, but this was just horrible. She droned on for so many pages when every thing could have been said in less than 300 hundred pages. I reached page 200 and had to take Advil because she is so long winded and won't get to the damn point. Then her characters became so flat and had no personality to them. They seem to personify only one aspect of their personality to a very large extreme. The plot was also very ridiculous and stagnant. Like previously said I was already so far in the book and felt like the badly written plot was going no where. Then all the loose ends she left in the previous three books were resolved with the most irritating and just plain stupid solutions. When I reached the end I felt cheated, and that she only wrote this unnecessarily long fourth book to get another paycheck and she succeeded. So now she isn't just a bad writer, but now we can add bad story teller to her list.

Good.. but lacking
I thought Stephanie Meyer did an excellent job writing the wedding and the honeymoon. It was very romantic, yet tasteful and drew me completely into the book. I also loved how she did the pregnancy from Jacob's perspective. I wondered how Edward would eventually turn Bella into a vampire. I thought it was perfect how he turned her just after she had given birth. I laughed when she beat Emmett in arm wrestling but the whole Volutri situation disappointed in the end. Stephanie builds up this intense climax with the Volutri coming and then nothing happens. they just walk away. I was hoping after Bella displayed her powers there would be a battle. Plus I thought Jacob imprinting on "Nessie" was too much. I rolled my eyes when I read that. I was hoping he would have become closer to Leah. I did like how she was finally able to let Edward into her mind. It was pretty good but not as good as the first three.

Amazing, yet again.
Absolutely breathtaking, the fourth book of the Twilight saga is by far the most intricate, delving deeper into the complicated facets of Meyer's magical world of innate abilities and immortals. The sexual element that was more demure in the first three books was stronger here, but still not graphic, keeping it appropriate for slightly younger audiences. I eagerly await further work from this author.

Great Book from an older reader....
All the negative reviews at the beginning are ridiculous. This is a fantastic book that wraps up an amazing story line, Thank you for not dragging it into a sequel after sequel soap opera. This started with a bang (Twilight) and ended wonderfully. Those whining critics wanted to see a soap opera of the Bella, Edward, Jacob triangle.

Read it you'll enjoy it, but you have to read the first 3 books first!
