Breaking Dawn Book Review: A Very Good Read

The Breaking Dawn Book has become a world-wide phenomenon following the success of the three previous books of the Twilight Series. It has an upcoming movie to be released next year, 2011.

The Breaking Dawn Book is separated in three parts. The first part talks about the marriage of Bella to Edward, and the conception and birth of their half human-half vampire child. Book two shifts the story to the perspective of the shape-shifter Jacob Black. He tells the story of how he tries to protect Bella from the plot of his pack to kill her. Finally, the third Breaking Dawn Book goes back to Bella narrating her new life as a vampire and how she enjoys learning her new skills.

Here is a book review of the Breaking Dawn Book by Chanakya Garg from ezine.com.

 

Book Review - Breaking Dawn - Twilight Saga Book 4

Breaking Dawn Book is the fourth novel in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. It is the last novel of the Twilight saga to be told from Bella Swan's perspective. The first 3 novels are:- Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse.
Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen and in another by her profound connection to Jacob Black, Bella Swan has endured a tumultuous year of temptation, loss & strife to reach the ultimate turning point. Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating and unfathomable consequences.
The first 3 books of the Twilight Saga show Bella as the weakest link, a breakable human. In Breaking Dawn; Bella's transformation into a vampire is so extraordinary that she emerges as the strongest of them all; so strong as to be able to protect her family from the highest authority in the vampire clan: The Volturi. It is almost as if she was born to do this. She acquires tremendous self control over her thirst & is able to shield her mind, making it impenetrable.
Many readers commented that Stephenie Meyer tried to keep a happy ending giving everybody what they wanted. I feel it's an author's right to write what she wants, what she wants her story to be, what her characters should feel. It's not that all readers would agree or believe what she believes in. I felt contended to way the series ended, just like J.K Rowling's: Harry Potter Series.
I am not going to divulge much into the story, but just a glimpse that it is divided into 3 parts; the first part is Bella's narration of her wedding and honeymoon. The second part is from Jacob's perspective about Bella's pregnancy and the split of his pack. The third part is from Bella's perspective about her new found vampire life, her motherhood, and their fight against the Volturi when they come to kill them.
Overall the book is very good read and could not have been better concluded.


A lot of reactions have come up regarding the Breaking Dawn Book of Stephanie Meyer. There are those who did not find the ending satisfying. But one thing for sure, Stephanie Meyer is a breakthrough author for this teenage love story. And the vampires’ names Bella and Edward made its mark in vampire movie history.
