i am almost done with breaking dawn an so far i find it really good. i like jacobs point of view at first i found it really stupid, but then i liked it after a couple of chapters. like someone else said it made me like jacob more. i like bella an the way she thinks. an i find the way she tried to make her mom’s name and edward’s moms name is really cute rather. its a good book so far.

I pretty much felt the same way about the ending Trent, I was bummed that there was no huge fight. It keep building it up and then it was just like oh. I do love the series though. Also Midnight Sun was awesome. It;s cool to get into Edwards head, Like the other peeps on here said definitely check out The host! It was amazing, I couldn’t put it down!

I’d really enjoyed the series until “Breaking Dawn”. I felt like the Mormon church hijacked the book-get married, have skittish virgin sex and then have a baby. The Jacob & Renesmee (hideous name) pairing was just CREEPY.

“The Host” was quite good. I felt “Midnight Sun” was somewhat redundant, though it did remind me of how enamored I was with the books in the beginning.

You have to totally check out The Host. I really enjoyed it. So much more the the twilight series. The players seem more grown up. And now reading everyone’s posts on how good Midnight Sun is I’ll check it out.

I liked the way the series wrapped itself up, but I’m a hopeless romantic, and don’t let the cynic in me ruin romantic literature for me. Furthermore, as someone who is working on her own Happily Ever After, I assure you- love stories do work out sometimes.

ok enough of that puffy stuff. I’m glad you went through the series Trent, and would love more book reviews from you, all topics and genres welcome. :-)

I’m a supporter of Team Edward, having lost several close best friends because they hated me for not “wanting them that way.” I had issues with Jacob all along, because he was pushy, and not in a romantic “I’ll never give up on loving you” sense, but in more of a “I’ll show you, just because I can” sort of way. I was subject to unwanted advances, and it wasn’t romantic, it bordered on harassment, and I didn’t like it. Being a true good friend, means taking no as an answer with grace.

Read what’s posted of Midnight Sun, it gives you a better view of Edward, which is very enlightening.

I loved the series; I couldn’t help thinking how someone could come up with this stuff. That said, I was hoping for more of a graphic love scene. It was like this huge build up and then…nothin’. Details por favor. BUT, I loved whole biting pillows & feather situation. Very cute. Very hot. Jacob’s pov was hard cuz I was so used to being in Bella’s head throughout the series, and then when I was back in her head she was a freaking vampire. It was what I wanted, but it was also weird not reading about the clumsy Bella that we fell in love with anymore. The ending was PRECIOUS…Edward got to finally read how she felt about him. It really brought it full circle and makes it that much sweeter after reading Midnight Sun.
New Moon is def. the best though.

I loooved Breaking Dawn, but I can totally see your point of view. Although I have to disagree about Jacob’s POV. I’m totally Team Edward, and reading from Jacob’s perspective made me really think about him, and how he really WOULD be perfect for Bella, without a world of magic. But I have to say, I thought the rest of BD really wrapped up the saga well. And OH MY GOD, Midnight Sun = amazing. I can’t even explain it. Maybe it’s because I’m TE. :]

I agree about Jacob’s POV….however I am on Team Edward. And you will love Midnight Sun Trent…

I loved all of the books but the last one was kinda “eh”. I agree – the whole Jacob POV wasn’t necessary. It drove me crazy reading that entire part. Overall I enjoyed the series very much and am looking forward to the next book by S.M.

Jacob’s POV wasn’t the best but I think it was kinda necessary. Can you imagine 200 pages of Bella complaining about her baby breaking every bones in her body. lol I really enjoyed the book even if it felt very different from the rest of the serie. Stephenie Meyer always said she’d give her characters happy endings so I don’t get why so many fans were so upset. Can’t wait for the movie now!

breaking dawn is ok. def not my favorite of the four. eclipse is the best of the four i think. the whole book was kinda….dumb but it was still entertaining to read. ugh but trent i cant stand jacob he just pisses me off he is very annoying lmao.

I JUST finished Breaking Dawn today and I feel exactly the same way. I could tell something was up when the first chapter was headlined Bella. Definitley not feeling Jacob’s POV. All and all I was thoroughly entertained by the series and I was very into the last half of BD. I would have loved a fight, to see how it would go down, but I dont know which one of the Cullen’s I wouldnt be sad to see die, because one would have to.. I agreed with you on her take on Vamp sex. There are limits but she could have took it a little bit further so it did not seem so sloppy. I could think of a million ways to write it subtle but effective. Good read all and all though.

imagine breaking dawn all in bella’s perspective. we wouldn’t have known anything about the quilettes wanting to attack the cullen… it would be a hugely pregnant woman on the verge of death falling in and out of conciousness for like 300 pages. booooooriiiing!!!!!!

i thought how the author changed pov was necesary to keep the plot going and to understand what was going on.

Breaking Dawn sucked for the reasons you mentioned. I will happily say that I’ll be satisfied thinking the series was a Trilogy and make up my own ending. ;)

I personally, agree with you Trent. I thought Breaking Dawn was the worst of the 4 books and lead to a very big disappointment for me. It was predictable in every way possible (minus the Cullens not overtaking the Volturi). I knew once Bella was throwing up, she was pregnant. I knew she’d have a girl because of that ridiculous name.

The Jacob perspective was unnecessary. The writing style was sloppy and that’s even contrasted more once you read Midnight Sun and get Edward’s perspective on everything.

Unlike you though, Trent, I’m on Team Edward! Though he’s creepy and sometimes selfish (who isn’t?) and a tad bit overprotective of those that he loves, I couldn’t help but fall madly in love with his character myself. His language was normally so eloquent and his character arguably presented the best uses of imagery throughout the books.

Be sure to post after you read Midnight Sun! :)
