Product Review

Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

by   funniebunny ,   Mar 3, 2009

Pros:  good story, Bella becomes more likable throughout the second half of book, Jacob's narration

Cons:  very long and a bit slow paced

The Bottom Line:  Breaking Dawn is my second favorite Twilight because of the wonderful plot and storyline twists.

Overall Rating: 5/5 stars
 

Author's Review

How many vampire lore stories can one bunny read?  Quite a few if she puts her mind to it.....Stephenie Meyer's fourth and apparently final Twilight instalment, Breaking Dawn, is one of my favorite vampire lore books as it is a very good read, although it is admittedly too long and over written.  A protagonist takeover by werewolf Jacob Black as well as a significantly less whiny Bella throughout the second half of the story made for the second best Twilight book in my E-pinion.


Plot

Bella Swan has remained swooned over vegetarian vampire Edward Cullen for an awful long while considering how dangerously delicious and tempting Bella's blood must smell to him.  Yet, yummy blood or no, love has prevailed as they are tying the knot....Sooner rather than later - and just in time for the steamy honeymoon - Edward is faced with an increasingly sickly Bella. 

Bella is pregnant with Edward's baby, with simultaneously horrified and curious thoughts running through the heads' of  everyone once the news is out....what exactly happens when a human woman becomes impregnated due to vampy mischief?... Typically, she dies.

The Italian Volturi are not kindly individuals and have been long seeking a reason to destroy the Cullens'.  Needless to say, the Volturi are overjoyed to have been lured to the Cullens' residence because of an abomination.  They intend to take full advantage of the situation, which in turn is sure to bring much death and war to poor, dreary, soggy Forks, Washington.


My Two Cents

There is a lot of plot happening at one time and, frankly, I like it.  The thick and busy plot is something wonderful to wrap my head around and enjoy without causing me confusion.

The book is divided into three sections, the first and last of which are narrated by our beloved Bella.  The middle chunk is narrated by Bella's best friend (...also a mythical creature, as mentioned above...) Jacob Black.  Jacob's narration was fantastic and had a much different tone and feel to it than that of Bella.  Also, as Bella's first narration segment was very descriptive, although somewhat whiny, Jacob was a very welcome change.  In fact, it would be quite interesting to read a Twilight entirely from Jacob's werewolf point of view, especially seeing how Edward's deal is off the table.

Meyer's writing is phenomenal, a type of writing that envelops one into the story.  It's also very thorough and not doubt enjoyable to read, despite some whiny-toned dialogue.

There is not much action to Breaking Dawn, although the plot is very layered;the integument of the plot in conjunction with fantastic character development kept me reading until the end.  Along with action, profanity is also a rarity within the story.  However, I will admit that this Twilight is significantly sexier than all three prior books.  Yet, nothing is explicit or graphic.

Overall, Breaking Dawn is a wonderful, at times flirtatious, action-hungry, slightly drawn out, and well written ending to the Twilight Series.  Well worth reading.
