“*****Might contain Spoliers******
This book actually deserves a 2.5 starts
Ah, where to start from?
I read twilight when it first came out in our country, and I found appealing, not great. But very good. I couldn't wait to read the second book –New Moon- and when I did I just fell in love with it, it was very vivid, very real, and it just seemed effortless. When it came to eclipse, my solid opinion about Meyer's writing wavered, I thought she lost her touch with eclipse. Little did I know that breaking dawn would even prove to be a greater disappointment?
Breaking Dawn, was a page turner in its two segmented books (Book 1 and Book 2), this fact I can not deny, and that's probably the only positive point I can grant it. But this one fact is overshadowed by a greater number of flaws:
1. Even though the second book (Jacob's POV) was interesting, it was too dragging. Meyer could have cut it down, and still display its chief plots.
2. Meyer introduced Kachiri in the first book, and though the conversation she and Edward had was mystifying and stirred the reader's curiosity, Meyer seemed as if she had forgotten all about her and only remembered her when it came to the very end of the book. A clue or two about Kachiri would have been nice to be seen somewhere in the middle of the book.
3. The other flaw in this particular book, is Meyer's introduction of a swarm of new characters. This was probably the biggest mistake Meyer has made. Breaking dawn is supposed to be a finale, when the entire jigsaws (from all the previous books) are put together to create a finished picture, a closed ending. New characters aren't supposed to be introduced in the very end of the book! This only proves that Meyer hasn't thought about the ending of the saga when she was writing the prequels to breaking dawn. What is worse though, is that these new characters had no role what so ever in the progression of the story. Yes, they were the alleged witnesses, but the way Meyer has described each and every one of them had us think that they would undoubtedly have a bigger role than being mere witnesses. What happened to the battle's preparation? The conflict between the characters, the sacrifices they so promised to make? Gone with the wind?
4. I know it is very harsh to say this, but I am a disappointed fan and I have to voice my views and get all out of my chest. But really, the whole book seemed whimsical, there was no flow in the transition between the plots, there didn't seem to be a link between the previous books, breaking dawn could have been a stand-alone. It was very poorly written.
5. Whereas the previous books seemed effortless and flowed wonderfully, this particular one was stiffly scripted. The plot, the characters, the ending- they were all forced down our throats.
I could go on forever.
"Move over, Harry potter" USA TODAY…apparently those people either haven't read Harry Potter or haven't read Twilight. Because, in no way they can be comparable.
Bear in mind that these are all one person's opinion. Would I still recommend people to read the twilight saga? Yes definitely, the three books were very good. You wouldn't want to miss it. And fourth ? you might want to find out for yourself,”
