Breaking Dawn

[isauraoktobre]

Okay, I promise no spoilers, but since I spent the last five hours reading it, I felt Breaking Dawn deserved some remarks. Also, this book deserves to be read as spoiler-free as possible. Seriously. I'm so glad that I spent all of yesterday yelling at Kabochan for making spoilery sounds. It was totally worth it

I loved it. Finally finished this afternoon. I'm working really hard to not spoil it for Peiwen and instead absolutely ITCHING to start reading to him. I read him the first chapter the night we got the book, but nothing since.

Remind me sometime to tell you all the little things that reminded me of my own life and totally made me smile/made the book even better for me. Maybe I should write a fan letter.

We must discuss! Kabochan and I want more people to fangirl about it to.

I very much enjoyed it, but I think it's because I was willing to accept the premise and move on. I'm pretty sure it's going to get mixed reactions for the fan base. Also, I don't know if this one can be made into a good movie like the other three.

I still consider myself a fan of this series and will foam at the mouth if people decide to get insulting about it around me.

Here frickin' here (hear?) I thought it was awesome. Everything worked out so much more beautifully than I was expecting. And yeah, it was kind of a ".... WHAT?" moment, but ... I really liked it. Again, similarities to my life. We must discuss. XD

Am I the only person who saw the two "WTF" moments coming?! I thought for sure you'd have seen them coming too! You failed me! *insert wail here* ^_^

Honestly, I liked it, but I didn't love it. I understand the why of what S.M. had to do, but in the rush there were moments that were too "Mary Sue" for me. I wish that she could have done it in two books, so that she wasn't forced to squish it all in one.

And I'll save the rest 'cause it could be spoilerish. ^_^

Edit: I don't think that it was the EPIC FAIL that some people are making it out to be. So no lynching of me! ^_^

Oh! It's not that I didn't see it coming from page one. It's just that I didn't believe that she'd actually go there until she went there. I spent a great deal of the time doing this:

Naw, that's too weird a place to go.
few minutes pass.
You have got to be kidding me! Seriously?! Really?
ponders for a few seconds
Okay then. I'm committed.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

I consider it to be the crack of the series. Also, I didn't include the second WTF! moment because I felt that it was a natural conclusion from the first. If you could get past that very first one, then the rest was just...um...fun. And honestly, I stopped taking it seriously after the first WTF, which is why I didn't hate it or have as many problems with it, like I did with Eclipse.

So, hopefully I didn't fail you too badly?

*whew* I am not alone then. Hooray! ^_^

*shy* Hello there...I wandered over from dragonspam (though I post over there on my fic journal, apolysine) and as we seem to have some things in common, like anime, gaming and writing, I friended you. :) Also, anyone with a Yachiru icon just has to be fun. ^^
