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.

Truely Spectacular. Mar 10, 2010 When I began reading Twilight I started with the first book and read them all straight through. And, in my opinion, they were written beautifully. Breaking Dawn was no exception. I, too, was surprised by all the bad reviews. I took a moment to read some of them and found that, in my opinion, some of the situations in Breaking Dawn were taken in the wrong context. Too literally almost. First of all, it's a fantasy book about Vampires and Shape Shifters. While Stephanie Meyer makes it incredibly easy for society to wrap their heads around Bella's situation, I don't think it's fair to say the book is morally wrong. For example, Jacob does not fall in love with an infant. He sees Renesmee as his responsibility to protect and nurture until she decides he is her one and only. The only difference is that he already knows the outcome. It's not like Jacob is thinking about Renesmee in a phyisical way. And Meyer makes that very clear. In our society that part of Jacob's CULTURE would be deemed as perverted, but I think we can all agree that Bella is no longer living in a society like ours. Things just operate differently. There are other situations like that in Breaking Dawn that were misconstrued by some. Perhaps if the book was reread with more of an open mind it would make more sense and be a better experiance. I think the book was amazing, and that it was all perfectly tied together. With a happy ending as the icing on the cake.

Loved It!!!! Mar 08, 2010 I loved this book!!!! I believe that SM showed extreme genus when writing this book! I loved the Creativeness and imagination that SM has and her passion for the characters. I know there were a lot of people that did not like this book and everyone is entitled to their own opinion! But I enjoyed this book the most out of the whole series! I love the fact that SM went into the detail that she did. I know that a lot of people were upset about a lot of so people say "graphic" detailing in this novel, but in reality there is more "graphic" detailing on television! This book is again creative and very well imagined! The book is about Love, Friendship and most of all Family! The loyalty between people! I give SM 2 thumbs up for this book! Loved it! It was Awesome!!!!

Very Addictive Mar 08, 2010 I was hesitant to read this series because of it's popularity and didn't think that there was much to it. However, after seeing New Moon in theaters it peaked my interest and I wanted more information, which is why I started reading the second book. Although I had thought that Bella was a fairly weak character, by the end of Breaking Dawn my perception was changed and I realized that she is actually quite strong emotionally. I am definitely glad that I read this series.
