Breaking Dawn: Not Epic Win, Not Epic Fail; Just Right

The time has come to express everything Breaking Dawn related. So now I say...

MASSIVE SPOILERS BEHIND THE CUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have been warned...

Ok, so first I'll start with my very long day. I got to Borders at 9:30am and was #20 in line for the book. YAY!!! It was a long, boring and desparing day, but finally it was

This review was amazing. And most of the things I completely agree with you about. For instance, this book was most definitely NOT about Bella and Edward... it was all Bella. And I love Bella, always have, always will. She's awesomeness. I love, love, love(!) Renesmee(minus her name, it's bad). But I feel like there was something missing. I agree that the story is about Bella and her unconditional love for her daughter, but for some reason I didn't feel that from Edward. Perhaps it was just because it was from Bellas point of view, but she felt more like Jacobs then Edwards, and that disturbed me a little. I wish there had been more Alice and Jasper, I absolutely adore them. However, I did love the scenes between Jasper and Bella, hilarious. I enjoyed the book, not my favorite, but I defintiely didn't hate it. But I really missed the Edward and Bella from the other 3 books. Anyway, great review! I loved reading it.

I think the reason everyone is so attracted to Renesmee is because she really is pure of heart and loves unconditionally...? I don't know, that's what I got from it, though I might be completely wrong...

Hear hear! You said this perfectly. Thank you for putting into words what so many of us think. :)

Yay! Seeing positive reviews on my friendslist makes me happy, especially after seeing all the negative ones.

Anyways, I'm falling asleep and I'm not supposed to spaz about BD until my friend finishes (it's kind of our thing when it comes to Twilight now, we squeal about everything to eachother before anyone else, so pretend I was never here)...so just some random things:

I thought it was kind of weird that she'd name her daughted Renesmee, when she doesn't even like her name. At least Isabella is normal. Carlie would've been a less awkward first name.

And, I think another reason people didn't like it might be the fact that they think Edward and Bella are completely out of character (which always annoys me, it's SMeyer's book and her characters, however she writes them is in character), especially in the middle. But I think part of the reason they come across so differently is because we're seeing them from a completely different perspective. Of course they're going to seem different when we're seeing them from someone else's eyes

Amazing!!

I was talking (almost fighting) with a friend of mine who didn't like the book that much, and i told her that the people who didn't like it, it was because they could not understand it!! As you said... When I read this I was asking myself if you were reading my mind, and my friend was in shock cause I told her all that stuff you wrote about!! LOL! And about the meaning, That this was about protecting the ones you love, (Twilight was about finding love, New Moon was about losing love, Eclipse was about choosing love; then Breaking Dawn was about protecting love)I was saying the exact same thing, cause Bella's & Edwasds story ends when they got married, of course, i will not deny it, I kindda missed it, but this book was GREAT!! And I loved the 2nd Book with Jacob's POV, it was absolutely AMAZING! All the way from the begining towards th end!! I <3 Bella, Edward, Jacob & Nessie!! SMeyer did a VAMPTASTIC Job writing it! And I personaly think that its not fair what some people of the "twiligh fandom" are doing and saying about her, and
