    I think a story like this will lose some of the appeal after so many books, its all new and interesting in the first book.

    Ok, so Kimmy read it, and I read it. What did you think Kimmy?? I would have sworn on one of my crappy paychecks that someone else wrote the book. It was not her typical writing. All the terms of endearment from Edward TOTALLY turned me off. He didn't talk like that. I totally went back and reread 1-3 and thought "Ah ha! She had someone else write it!" I doubt it, but it was just so NOT what I was expecting in so many of the chapters.

    I was not elated by this book. I was disappointed. Seriously. I wanted more action toward the end. I wanted that conflict and climax at the appropriate areas, and while I liked her discovering her power, it wanted more out of that, and more out of what happened in the field. I was sorely disappointed with that. That it just ended. HUMPF. One unhappy reader here, lol.

    That's my comment. My disappointment with the ending of the series. I mean, I love Caroline Cooney (the Janie series) and Lois Duncan books, and they never disappoints me (Duncan's daughter was abducted and killed under suspicious circumstances and she really focuses on crimes that happen, and she wrote a book about it called Who Killed My Daughter?

    You pretty much nailed it on the head about why I didn't like it Jenn.

    It totally felt out of place from the rest of the series. I could complain about details, but that would spoil it for those that haven't read it.

    To me, Breaking Dawn felt like very well written fan fiction... I hate to say that about Stephenie Meyer, but I am in agreement that it didn't flow with the other three.

    I thought it was fan fiction too. I did really like the second section, from Jake's POV though. Jake is my favorite character, though.

    IMO, Jakes POV was the only part that really flowed with the other books.
    I didn't hate Breaking Dawn but I didn't absolutely love it. It's nice to have closure on Bella & Edwards relationship.

    But I am SO excited for the movie! I think it's going to be awesome!
