Breaking Dawn


after almost a year since i've read twilight, new moon and eclipse, i finally had the chance to read breaking dawn. my sister haven't bought herself a copy of the book but good thing my younger sister borrowed from her classmate so i had the chance to read the book and finish ahead of her.

they say that the book received a lot of negative reviews so i kinda hesitated if i still wanted to read the book. maybe that's the reason why my other sister didn't buy a copy of the book.

here are some of those negative reviews:
*Publisher's Weekly stated that the main problem was that "Essentially, everyone gets everything they want, even if their desires necessitate an about-face in characterization or the messy introduction of some back story. Nobody has to renounce anything or suffer more than temporarily--in other words, grandeur is out."

*Entertainment Weekly graded Breaking Dawn with a D, criticizing the birth scene and Bella's "unwavering passion for Edward" and having no other goals.

so here's what i have to say about the book. of course, it is all about bella's perspective. till now, i don't know how to react or what to comment about the book. i guess its quite interesting to know what will happen to bella and edward's love story. i won't give away too much information because some of those who may read this review haven't read breaking dawn yet.

i didn't like some of the chapter titles in the book because it was too long, not interesting at all. also, i didn't like how jacob is still attached to bella after knowing the reality that she and edward is already married and have a child. anyways, towards the end, nothing so bizarre happened when the whole volturi clan paid a visit to the cullen family and their invited witnesses.

what i liked in the book was that of course, bella and edward's love story and the fact that they had a child. also, bella having a gift after turning into a vampire. i kinda liked the idea that their daughter was wonderful just like how the other characters in the book fell in love with her. i hope i'm making sense. haha :) anyways, the book had some good points too. i just can't remember everything i read.

i guess, this is all for the twilight saga. i hope that stephenie meyer would pursue with "midnight sun" which is about edward's perspective.
