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.
Amazon.com Review:
Great love stories thrive on sacrifice. Throughout The Twilight Saga (Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse), Stephenie Meyer has emulated great love stories--Romeo and Juliet, Wuthering Heights--with the fated, yet perpetually doomed love of Bella (the human girl) and Edward (the vampire who feeds on animals instead of humans). In Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final installment in the series, Bella’s story plays out in some unexpected ways. The ongoing conflicts that made this series so compelling--a human girl in love with a vampire, a werewolf in love with a human girl, the generations-long feud between werewolves and vampires--resolve pretty quickly, apparently so that Meyer could focus on Bella’s latest opportunity for self-sacrifice: giving her life for someone she loves even more than Edward. How close she comes to actually making that sacrifice is questionable, which is a big shift from the earlier books. Even though you knew Bella would make it through somehow, the threats to her life, and to her relationship with Edward, had previously always felt real. It’s as if Meyer was afraid of hurting her characters too much, which is unfortunate, because the pain Bella suffered at losing Edward in New Moon, and the pain Jacob suffered at losing Bella again and again, are the fire and the heart that drive the whole series. Diehard fans will stick with Bella, Edward, and Jacob for as many twists and turns as possible, but after most of the characters get what they want with little sacrifice, some readers may have a harder time caring what happens next. (Ages 12 and up) --Heidi Broadhead

To be frank, I was really disturbed by Breaking Dawn. I consider myself to be an avid Twilight fan. I own all of Stephenie Meyer's books and am an obsessed teenage girl a.k.a. the typical Twilight fan. However, Breaking Dawn was dissapointing. It is not a bad book, but the story veers off in a direction I did not see coming at all. I won't spoil it but I found myself not wanting to know what happened next. I actually stopped reading in the middle and had to drag myself back.

I read all four of the books in this series (I categorically refuse to call them a saga) this week. I wanted to like them - I'd heard the phrase "move over Harry Potter" on numerous occasions; I was actually excited. I have an open mind when it comes to teen lit. I don't expect Hemmingway or Hardy; I can overlook certain....holes in writing technique. But I've read Harlequin romance novels that were better written than this tripe.
I almost don't know where to start with all of the problems ... Read More

Okay so here's my spoiler free review. I went and saw the movie and immediately afterwards, I ran out and bought the first book Twilight. I'm so glad I did. Meyer's writing is captivating and the book was a page turner. Less than a week later, I had managed to read all four. In Breaking Dawn there were twists and turns and ups and downs all the way through. Moments that made me scratch my head and grit my teeth but I hung in there like a faithful fan should. I felt I owed it to myself and to Stephanie Meyer ... Read More

This book was my favorite out of the Twilight Series. I loved the others, but I could not put this one down. I wish they'd make a movie out of it, although it'd have to be 3 hours long and difficult to make.
I am not able to get this book out of my head... it was definitly the best book I've ever read.
