Hi everyone.
I have only read Twilight, and I loved it so much. I am really disappointed that everyone seems to hate Breaking Dawn so much, because I wanted more Bella and Edward. I am glad, from what your reviews say, that Bella and Edward stood together, and that this page emitted most of the gorey details of other reviews (ie, broken furniture, if you understand). I will definately read the final three books, even though I am upset by the fact that they seem to be complete rubbish.

Thea! I'm so glad you posted a review. I just finished all four of the books (in the past four days) and I wanted to get another's point of view. I had no idea if you or Ana were fans, but thought I'd check.

Anyway, I don't read much young adult. Harry Potter, yeah. I got sucked in. haha. But this was really hard for me to get into . It was incredibly sappy and not one bit of action. Always the looming possibility, of course... As much as I liked the coupling of Edward and Bella, the story didn't really didn't go anywhere.

I'm gonna go ahead and read what the author put up on her site- what she had of the 5th book. I'd love to see Twilight from Edward's point of view. That will be something! Even if it's not finished.

Loved your review, as always!!

Amazing review! I totally agree. I felt so bad for disliking this book so much, but as it seems, I’m not the only one who has issues with it.

I’m not finished with BD yet, I have about another….100 pages or so to go. But unlike most of the reviews I’m seeing for it, I like it. I don’t LOVE it, but I like it. But I also wasn’t a big fan of New Moon OR Eclipse.

But I’ll be back to discuss more when I’ve finished the whole thing!

Yes yes yes! I have been feeling like Ms Negativity over here in my crotchety little corner for not liking this book. Except I couldn’t verbalize it much better than “I think it sucked.” This is why! I’m off to read part 2 now

Oh hey, something I completely forgot to mention:

I do love the cover of this novel – and all the others in the series. She struck gold there.

Hey Kate, thanks for the thumbs up on the review! And indeed my reviews for this book are cranky (but good cranky, I hope)

Part II is up now!

I’m more than a little disappointed in how the whole thing turned out. Sigh.

Dammit, I actually checked back to see if part two was up. But now I really need to go to bed.

By the way, I meant cranky in a good way.

Ooo. Oooooo. Oo. Thea. I am reading part two regardless of whether or not I’ve read the second and third book. (I have not. I’ve read a lot of reviews and am aware of what’s going to happen, since outside of Jacob being a werewolf the rest is pretty predictable, and even the Jacob/werewolf thing is pretty predictable had I devoted two brain cells to it.)

And may I say, negative and cranky review though it is, this is one of the best reviews I’ve seen in awhile. Good for you! Now post part two so I can read it in the morning.
