Product Description
When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?
To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs.
Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating, and unfathomable, consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella's life-first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse-seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed... forever?
The astonishing, breathlessly anticipated conclusion to the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.

 Disappointment September 8, 2008
I read Breaking Dawn in a week and of all the Twilight books out there, I thought this was the worst. There was so much Bella/Edward goo that I wanted to throw up. The plot, though the surprises were really... surprising, was slow and predictable. The one good thing I can say about Breaking Dawn was it was a fulfilling end to a great saga, even if the other books were much better.
 A satisfying end to a great series! September 8, 2008
I have enjoyed getting to know the characters of this series and Ms. Meyer certainly knew how to end the books with great satisfaction. The last installment is the most gruesome of the lot yet it is never over the top nor inappropriate to the story. I look forward to reading this set again!
A fabulous conclusion in this ***fantasy*** series September 8, 2008

After reading earlier reviews of this novel, and having enjoyed the first three entries in the series, I was frankly worried about investing in this fourth (but hopefully not final) book. But I found it perfect in its rightness as the conclusion to the saga. I do not understand the complaints. This IS a fantasy for heavens sake, and I read fantasy novels to escape. This is the perfect escape. It could be a segue into a new series as well. Great author! I am now reading "The Host" and am finding it equally engrossing.
Best Book I've read in a long time September 7, 2008

This book was the perfect conclusion to an amazing series, i was concerned that this series would be too young for me since it is classified as young adult, but im 26 and i found the book impossible to put down, i finished this one in 2 days!
I would highly recommend this entire series to anyone, just make sure you start with the first book Twilight and enjoy the adventures of Bella!
 DON'T blame the author for sending "a negative message to teenagers." September 7, 2008
1 out of 6 found this review helpful
Too many negative reviewers blame the author for sending a "negative message to teenagers" about early pregnancy, getting married, and forgetting college.
If you are worried that your teenage girl reading this book will get influenced by its message and suddenly think about getting pregnant early, etc., then it is NOT the author's fault but YOUR fault. If your kid is that easily swayed by just reading a book, clearly YOU have not spent enough time teaching your kid about the correct responsibilities.
Everywhere around the teenage world there are influences - drugs, high school sex, and youth crime. But not all teenagers are doing negative activities, because responsible adults or parents taught them what was socially acceptable and unacceptable.
This book is meant to be entertainment, not a bible. I think the author did a perfect job censoring sexual scenes and highlighting the urges of a teenager, such as the wanting of sex, instead of ignoring it and shunning it like many people. Instead of throwing away her baby, Bella keeps it despite everyone's wishes, which I personally think is the author's message of responsibility. These are just some examples.
So to all negative reviewers bashing the book because of its "low moral quality", think about what you're doing before blaming others.
