This book just had a whole lot of WTF in it for me. I knew Bella was going to change, that I was fine with and even wanted, but I hated the imprinting, Renesmee/Nessie, Rosalie thing...ugh. I don't know I will re-read it, but it didn't make me want to continue reading the way that the others did.

I'm still kind of "meh", I think I need to re-read and digest before I have a real opinion. I wanted a knock down drag out with the Volturi though...boo.

Breaking Dawn wasn't what I thought it was going to be... there were def. alot of WTF and OMG moments.. i loved that bella got pregnant but Renesme didn't come off to me as adorable as stephanie tried to make her out to be. I def fell in love with Edward again in this book and thankfully Jacob wasn't that much of a douchebag because in Eclipse i soo wanted to choke him. but i didn't like how he got all pissed when he realized that edward and bella were going to have an actual honeymoon (helloooo what did he expect???)

I'm happy but disappointed at the same time that no one died.. i think i'm more anxious for MIDNIGHT SUN (Edward's version of Twilight) to come out.

by the way did anyone else notice that at the very end of the book it's advertising for a Twilight Guide... i don't think that's neccessary.. but maybe that's just me

I still say its because Meyer tried to make everyone happy. Nessie was born and Jacob imprinted so that it could make the "Team Jacob"-ers happy. Plus Nessie's birth also gave a reason for Bella to go through the change.

And although I wish they had fought with the Volturi, there would have been noway the Cullen & friends could have won. I know I wouldn't have wanted dead Cullens.

I think she was also pressured by her publishers

You're right I would've definitely been devasted if any of the Cullens died... for a split second I actually thought Alice left (how dumb right?!?!)....I actually think that I want to reread it just to see if I missed any clues that wouldn't have left me as surprised about jacob imprinting...

I only wish that the series had a soundtrack so that I could hear the song that Edward composed for Bella.

I have been trying to think of the best way to describe my reaction, and just just did it for me!

It was just a little too "neat" in the end. I loved Jacob in these books, but I found it a little disturbing for him to imprint on Bella's daughter. And...I HATE the name Renesme....it is soooo ugly! Breaking Dawn just seemed like an afterthought...like they dragged the story out a little too long and didn't have enough to flesh out an entire 4th book.

Seeing this thread, as well as the one in my sisters' book group, peaked my curiosity. I bought Twilight yesterday.

Glad to be of service. :)

I don't know, I'm still on the fence. I hate being on the fence.

My younger cousin was hearing me & her sister talk soo much about the books that she finally gave into her curiosity and read Twilight.

She finished it in a day, and loved it!

Her sister bought Breaking Dawn on the day it came out and still hasn't finished it. According to her, she wants to "have a life" and not read a book all day. But her idea of "having a life" is watching TV, and listening to her Ipod.

Movie News Flash!

So, many of you have heard that the release of the sixth Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, has been moved from this Thanksgiving to next summer. First and foremost, please know that this schedule change has absolutely nothing to do with Twilight, me, or Summit Films (so enough with the imdb death wishes, okay?). This is Warner Bros. decision, and it was not motivated by anything Twilight-related.

Now for the good news! Though we're all sad to have to wait for Harry Potter, this open spot at the theater creates a cool opportunity. The good people at Summit were thrilled to let me know that now Twilight fans are going to get their movie three weeks earlier than scheduled. That's right—Twilight will be released in theaters November 21st! Let the merry-making commence!

Hahaha

Yay!!

I think that was a pretty stupid thing for WB to do...but yay for Twilight getting their spot!

WB is pretty dumb for doing that but I'm stoked to see Twilight 3 weeks earlier than planned!!!

Only thing is (maybe it's just me) but I'm not too happy with the way that they casted the characters.. I think that they could've found a hotter guy to play Edward
