Kudos to Stephenie though. She does an amazing job making the readers FEEL for her characters.
I also feel bad for the young crowd (we're talking 10-12 year olds) who were dying to read this book. It's too mature in nature for that age: just an FYI for you mom's out there who haven't read this last one. It's quite sexual, which is fine for an older group (17 and up?), but is not okay for younger minds who might find it disturbing (my 12-year-old neighbor found it quite disturbing).
Had this been due to growth on the part of the characters, I'd have been fine with it. But instead of growing, the majority only changed. Jacob is the only one who appeared to show any development.
She made so many fans love Edward and Bella. Thankfully, Edward remains the same - (although I had never expected him to do anything as graphic as chewing his vamp-spawn out of his unmedicated wife's belly. Who wrote this?) but Bella becomes a girl who is unrecognizable, and I am not referring to her physical changes.
I enjoyed the escape of the story, but I was left utterly confused by it. I look forward to reading Midnight Sun, because I actually feel like I need my brain scrubbed of my Breaking Dawn memories.
Breaking Dawn was a heartbreaking disappointment. Almost like Stephenie was trying too hard on this one - which in turn made it worse.
Ah, I love the Twilight series....until the last book.
