Stephenie Meyer

Although eighteen-year-old Bella joins the dark but seductive world of the immortals by marrying Edward the vampire, her connection to the powerful werewolf Jacob remains unsevered.

Breaking Dawn

The Twilight Saga #4 Breaking Dawn

Bella Swan heeft een roerig jaar vol verleidingen, verlies en strijd achter de rug en staat nu voor het ultieme keerpunt. Ze wordt verscheurd door haar intense passie voor Edward enerzijds en haar grote vriendschap met Jacob anderzijds. Kiest ze voor de duistere maar verleidelijke wereld van de onsterfelijken, of besluit ze toch een volledig menselijk en dus sterfelijk leven te leiden? Bella is de schakel geworden in het eeuwigdurende conflict tussen de weerwolven en de vampiers. Haar keuze bepaalt het lot van beide stammen. Morgenrood is het verbazingwekkende slot van het passionele en meeslepende liefdesverhaal van Bella en Edward, dat begon met Twilight, Nieuwe maan en Eclips. In Morgenrood worden de geheimen en mysteries van deze adembenemende serie eindelijk onthuld.

Maar om je de waarheid te zeggen, rede en liefde gaan nog maar zelden samen tegenwoordig.

de kindertijd loopt niet van de geboorte tot een bepaalde leeftijd, waarna op een bepaalde leeftijd het kind volwassen is, en zich niet meer met kinder dingen bezig houdt. De kindertijd is het Koninkrijk waarin niemand sterft.

I hadn't seen himn undressed. I would have sworn there was nothing more beautiful than Edward in his khakis

It felt like I had never wanted anything so badly before this: to be able to protect what I loved.

jak už jsem říkala, tenhle díl zachránil celou sérii. líbilo se mi úplně všechno, výtky snad ani nemám. první část byla pomalejší a nudnější, ale nebyla špatná, pak nastala druhá část, kde se to všechno pomalu rozjíždělo, a třetí část byla samozřejmě nejzajímavější. fakt se mi to líbilo a celý prožitek ze série mi to o hodně zlepšilo. ten konec byl skvělé napsaný, celkově Stephenie umí psát, to jí musím uznat. bavilo mě to, nebylo tam tolik sladkých řečí, bylo to fajn.

5*/5*, nakonec vám přece jen twilight ságu doporučím.

So good but I didn’t like the Jacob POV section it went on for too long

served in many aspects, other aspects require a court case.

A pesar de que Bella, dieciocho años de edad, ingrese en el mundo sombrío pero seductor de los inmortales por casarse con el vampiro Edward, ella sigue sin romper con el poderoso hombre lobo Jacob.

           Ay, que coraje todo este libro.
En el libro como en la película, me hubiera quedado hasta la parte de la luna de miel donde por fin realizan "El dulce acto amatorio" y ya, fin... Pero no, la Meyer tenía que armar su desmadre sin chiste que nomas dio frustración.
¿EN QUÉ PLANETA PENSÓ QUE JUNTAR AL JACOBO CON LA HIJA DEL EDUARDO Y LA BELLA ERA BUENA IDEA? Todo mal, todo lleno de ñañaras.

¿Cómo desleo esto?

The finale to the Twilight series took so many insane creative choices, that I can’t believe that this book was still adapted into a film with the same storyline. Whatever good the previous books had built was dashed away with the introduction of Renesmee. This book had decent prose like the other books, but the storyline was something out of a bad fan-fiction. I can’t believe that this book seriously happened. The Twilight book series is undeniable for its moment in the limelight and has cemented itself in pop culture history, but this book is forever a stain on the franchise itself.

I've not read any of the other Twilight books except for this one. I was babysitting this doorstopper because a classmate of mine had left it in her desk before we broke up for the Christmas holidays. So, at her request, I lugged it all the way home to prevent it from being stolen. Mind you, the book had just been released so it was the hardback I was carrying. 

After finishing my pile of Christmas homework, I decided to crack this one open because I wanted to see what all the fuss is about. And erm, 12 year old me was thoroughly perplexed. Not because I'd not read a previous entry in the series before, but because it was just so bland, boring and simple. It was pretty easy to follow despite ignoring the other four books. There wasn't really much of substance. And I still don't understand why it needed to be so long.

What did, however, shock me was the fact that Edward was a plank of wood nonce and Jacob was an angry nonce. Like these two gross men are what had the girls at school fighting? 

Yeah, I hate it.

Foreword: I am marking this review as having spoilers even though I think I am the last person on Earth to read them. 

Well, friends, the day has finally come. I have finished the Twilight Saga. I will not lie; these are the only books I have read in the past six months and while I am so grateful that they pulled me out of my reading slump, they all blend together lol. 

Alas! Edward and Bella are finally married! Their wedding sounded beautiful and I am sure Alice can throw a killer party. I would say though that this installment is kind of weird when separating this book from the blob of a blur that the entire series has in my mind. 

Jacob of course almost ruins the wedding after learning that the newly weds were going on a honeymoon. It is interesting when I think about how only Jacob and Sam seem to have been in love before finding their imprints. 

When Edward and Bella finally go on their honeymoon I wish they had gone to someplace more "real" so that they could have had more world to interact with. Instead the first large portion of the book was just Bella wanting to have sex with Edward and them in turn wrecking the beautiful house on their family's private island. Where do they get their money anyway? I get they are old asf and Carlisle is a doctor but the man never seems to have gone back to work after the family returned to forks. 

When they finally get back Bella is pregnant and then is just gets really sick until she realizes that drinking human blood as a human is the only thing to satisfy the baby. Ew! I bruise easily but I am scared to see her in the movies because the descriptions seem so graphic lol.

Moving on until after Renessmee's birth, I did think it was funny how badly Jacob was hating on her until he imprinted on her. I also understand that "ohh its not like that when they are babies" but uhhh who comes up with that idea in the first place. Also for how much Jacob resented Edward for so long I can't believe he would imprint on someone so close to him no matter her connection to Bella or not. 

Overall, this book was the WORST when it came to the action at the end! What the heck! There wasn't even a fight! You were just waiting until they decided not to fight. I knew exactly this would happen when I got 80% of the way through and it was all talk about impending things and not actual things happening. 

All in all, I thought this series was such a fun group of books to read to get back into reading and I really enjoy watching the relationships strengthen between the characters and family. Also Charlie and Sue! How cute. Also also I would die for Seth Clearwater, love that kid. 

Okay, now to find something else to read!

i didnt like how they built up this huge fight then have it last one page.

I thought that this book was good when I read it

"N'aie pas peur, murmurai-je. Nous sommes faits l'un pour l'autre." L'instant était si parfait, si juste, qu'il était impossible d'en douter. Ses bras se refermèrent autour de moi, me pressant contre lui... "A jamais", renchérit-il. Bella a fait son choix, et plus rien ne semble pouvoir l'empêcher de vivre ses rêves. Mais si ce choix s'avérait bien plus dangereux qu'il n'y paraît ? Et si Bella risquait d'y perdre la vie ?

Révélation

While the first two books in the series were nostalgic this one was just plain bad. Reading it felt like I was fighting for my life 😭

I read the whole twilight series the past week and my thoughts before reading the books were that I wanted to know why there was a whole fandom about this one series. If I'm speaking truly about all of the series it was okay and I mean that in a reasonable way. The fourth book was truly exceptional. It had all the aspects of a satisfactory novel and I admired that. Breaking Dawn would have been my favourite in the series if it wasn't for Midnight Sun. My favourite in the series is Midnight Sun but Breaking Dawn still gives it a run for it's money. I read Breaking Dawn in one day, which maybe if I read it in two days might have made me appreciate it more.

A good book, though it did drag in parts. I did find it boring in places but it was a good book.

Haylie

i kinda liked it. it isn't something to get all excited for.

Hannah Calverley

Do you know how long this took me? 
Forever and forever and forever. 

But I loved it.

Nicole Sonja

I'm so relieved it's over. It was so bad, but I can see now how addictive this series might be and I genuinely have reason to hate it now.

Mark-Olivier

This one is my favorite. It is big but so much is happening. Bella is still kind of a pain in the ass but it is bearable. Edward had is asshole moment but it was not really that important. Jacob, well... it's Jacob. He is still an asshole but, at the end, we like him better because we understand. 
A book this big has its lenghts but, oh well. The only thing i didn't really enjoy, is the part for Jacob's POV. It was interesting but too long for my liking. 
<spoiler> The wedding is nice, the pregancy is intense, the preparation to the battle/the battle itself is really cool. The only thing I always wanted more is scenes with Bella being a vampire. We have had more of it in the books than the movie but still. </spoiler>.

Twilight tempted the imagination . . . New Moon made readers thirsty for more . . . Eclipse turned the saga into a worldwide phenomenon . . . And now - the book that everyone has been waiting for . . . Breaking Dawn. In the much anticipated fourth book in Stephenie Meyer's love story, questions will be answered and the fate of Bella and Edward will be revealed.

Reading this series the first time was the ultimate caving act as far as peer pressure went. Sadly, though, my first read was characterised by an incredibly snobbish attitude. @ Pas self: Get over it . Liking romance and "girly" stuff is allowed. Cool , even .
What's changed now, you ask?


Well... Adolescence in full vampire craze happened. And early 20s, yes. No, I don't do phases. If I like something, I like it. Which is what I feel towards vampire-centered fiction, just to be extremely clear. Except, I've finally put a finger on why Twilight doesn't evoke homey, warm feelings in me: such an easy read as it is, it lacks... bite. (Can't resist a pun) My fave tv show as a teen was TVD (Which still causes the aforementioned warm fuzzies. And quote-alongs. And rewatches. You got the gist) and I adored Buffy. Why? Because the vamps controlled themselves and still behaved like vamps and the romance was way spicier
(If you read this last sentence and didn't think of Damon or Spike, I've officially failed at references).

Le doy 4 estrellas más que nada por la nostalgia.

Yo pensé que tenía muy presente este libro, y me di cuenta que en realidad no recordaba absolutamente nada.

La primera parte me gustó que fue la de la boda, se me hizo linda pero sí me desesperó que inmediatamente Bella pensara en *pone los ojos en blanco* Jacob. Un capítulo no pudo estar sin pensar en ese adefesio mal hecho.

En la segunda parte casi me da algo cuando me di cuenta que todo lo narraba Jacob, no recordaba nada de eso. Lo único bueno de que él fuera el narrador es que nos deja ver lo mucho que Edward ama a Bella, la devoción que le tiene desde los ojos de otra persona y todo lo que está dispuesto a hacer para salvarla.

La última parte la verdad es que me durmió en vivo, estuvo mil veces mejor en la peli cuando le agregaron el picor de Alice. Obviamente odié cada vez que se mencionaba a Jacob y Renesmee en la misma oración pero ni siquiera quiero pensar mucho en eso porque me da bronca.

Voy a extrañar definitivamente a Bella y Edward, en unos años tal vez los vuelva a leer porque a ellos les debo muchísimo.

I loved this book! It was a great conclusion to the whole twilight saga, and the story building and plot was overall really interesting. I also liked how we got to see Jacob’s side of the story through his eyes and his thoughts.
