Okay, I read Breaking Dawn in one day- 7 hours straight of reading. Other than feeling like a total lump, this is what I thought.
1. I was very worried about Bella becoming a vampire during the first three books. I didn't know if I wanted her to remain a human or become a vampire! What if the relationship between Edward and Bella changed? Would it still be as electric between the two of them? But luckily, this part of the book was one of my favorites. I don't know how realistic (I know, these are not realistic books) it was to have Bella transition into being a vampire so easily. She experienced pain but not bloodthirstiness... I don't know, it seemed strange that it came so easily for her. Other than that, I thought Bella as a vampire was super cool. She got to have a "power" which I loved for her and she was beautiful and fast and strong and the chemistry was still crackling!!
2. Renesmee, or however you spell it. Argh. I hated that named. Really. A lot. It distracted me every time I read it.
3. Jacob's perspective. I am a big Jacob fan, but this part seemed to drag on. I did think it was kind of cool that Jacob imprinted on Renesmee- to keep everyone in the family, so to speak.
4. Edward wasn't in it enough.
5. The battle!!! All that build-up for nothing?? I wanted to see the Volturi go down! I thought the whole Immortal Child idea was cool and I really liked the Volturi as villains- they're scary! But I wanted to see some action there! It seemed to end with a big bow on it, a little too tidily.
To sum it up, there were more things in this book that bothered me than in the previous three books, but I still found it immensely entertaining and a satisfying end to the saga.
Thoughts?
