ALSO: the pregnancy thing needed to be rushed a bit, it WAS the last book. And although I'm an advocate of choice, unless YOU have faced that choice (or even been a mother) you can't imagine how you grow to love that little creature that is part you and part of the person who you love, and in Bella's case, have nearly died for. And selfish or not, it was her choice and no one elses. Anyone who loves you needs to understand that it's your life you risk, and your right to risk it. Just 'cause she didn't want to be a mother before, or had agreed to give it up, doesn't mean she can't change her mind when it's already happened. Sheesh. Having an abortion is a tough decision, cut the girl some slack. And don't dis motherhood. It's harder than it looks.

You people are crazy. I have only read to New Moon, but I know how the books will end. It's the only plausible way. Jacob is a werewolf, he can't have a good relationship with a human because it takes YEARS for a werewolf to develop self control. Look at Sam's GF. And it would be wrong for Bella and Edward to have suffered so much and not end up together in the end. These are essentially romance novels, sans the sex (at least for most of it) and love must work perfectly.

Bea says:
absolutely loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get over it, the story would have never gone any other way because it is the authors, stephenie mayers, vision you may have noticed on her site that she never mentioned anything about changing the plot of the book once she was going for 4 books and even before then with forever dawn she has said that the plot was basically the same

yes, I have more to say:
I can't help thinking though, what would have happened if she had have got together with Jacob? Would they still be together now, you know, because of his temper? would she have still had a child? would they have gotten married?... can't help being curious. :)

the lamb says:
I loved the ending! Her turning into a vampire was kind of predictable though to me. I'm glad that Jacob has found someone (even if it Is slightly creepy that it's her daughter), don't get me wrong, i liked him in the beginning but after a while it just seemed like he was getting in the way.

Oh yeah, and one more thing for those of you who thought that there was this big build up to a fight that never happened. Which one of the Cullens would you pick to die, because that's what would have happened. Both sides would have lost people, so which of the Cullens would you have picked?!? I would cry if any of them died and they aren't even real!!!

Nancy says:
I think anyone who has been through a crisis pregancy can totally relate to Bella. All you stupid teenager girls who have never gone through a pregnancy, let alone one that nearly kills you should shut your mouths, or wait till you are older to read this book. That part where Bella says ""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 your beloved, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?" Well, let's just say I lived that.

i loved the book!!!! i was by far my favorite book!! i loved the wedding and the honeymoon was my favorite part of the entire book-especially the first night-. but i was kinda dissapointed in the end.i just didnt like how alot of the book was about this huge terrible fight that was gonna happen but nothing ever did.all this hype was built up but nothing even happened. but i did like the last page or two when it was edward and bella walking back to their cottage and she said ...into forever and ever... overall this book was AMAZING but definitley not for anyone under 13

My Worst Nightmare - Hated It!
connie says:
The best way to end it would have been to have Bella fall in love with a human and start the cycle all over again. I thought ending wasn't worth wading thru four books.

amber says:
I was disappointed in the ending. I was hoping that she wouldn't have the baby. She wouldn't turn into a vampire and see that Jacob was the better one for her! I was SO upset. And is Jacob going to fall for the daughter????

Mirandaaaaaaaaa[; says:
i wish that EVEN THOUGH its was a part vampire baby, that the pregnancy still wouldve been like any other would have been....if bella had been able to hav a regular pregnancy and stay human a little while longer maybe i wouldve like renesmee but now i hate her. she ruined the whole book! in BD Bellas all about the baby and how she cant live without her...well she didnt have a problem with not having kids b4 she got pregnant so why is she all caught up with the baby thing and being a mom now??? I think Bella is being very selfish, putting everyone through that pregnancy crisis ):
Im sorry stephenie but i think that Renesmee kinda screwed everything. I still like BD in some places but i just wish the pregnancy couldve been normal. ):
BUT i do like the way everything ended happily and i did like the wedding parts and b4 bella found out she was pregnant and even a lil bit in book 3 but only in some parts (:

It's such a waste of time to wrote the book in series if you could end it this way from the very first book. Ugh..It sucks. Everything just go without a hitch.

mrs cullen <3 says:
Yeah like the Volturi would just walk off, all they had to do was distarct Bella and Jane and Alecs powers would start working again.
Don't get me started on Renesmee but I guess it's better than EJ if it were a boy, can't remember my sister says it stands for Edward Jacob which would mean Bellas being selfish again or Edward Junior which would prove that Bella's stupid. Poor Edward, he has to spend centuries with her now.

lesly BLACK. loves JACOB BLACK.:)) says:
why should a werewolf imprint on a baby. i know like. was that quil or embry o imprinted in claire? but claire's somewhat part of the clan. But nessie's no where part of it. yeah i agree. he should have imprint on leah instEAD.

Jade says:
Ugh. Perfection just makes me...ugh. For the first three books, it's all about choice, sacrifice, and how Bella would have to give up her human life completely and become this wild creature.
So instead, she's perfect, and still gets to hang with her dad straight away. And have a wonderful child who will reach full growth in very little time. We won't even go into the name, other than to say Carlie is the better of two evils.
Plus- The most awesomely powerful of all vampies, the Volturi, just kind of....left. As if.
One more thing- Jacob? And the baby? Nooooooo. Should have been Leah. Or a really amusing thing I saw that said it would have been brilliant if Jacob had of imprinted on Edward. LOL!!!!

Sonia says:
Worst ending to any series i've ever read!!
1)Stephanie Meyers contradicts herself saying that vampires have no bodily fluids, then in BD, Edward can magically impregnate Bella?!! WTF!!???
2)Reneesme? FAILED! FAILED FAILED FAILED and the fact that Jacob out of all characters IMPRINTED on her!! Can you say pedophilia? Absolutely disgusting!
3)Bella got everything, had a baby, turned into a vampire and didnt suffer AT ALL during the process, got Edward, got Jacob, kept her family, seriously what happend to a bittersweet ending?! What happend to the sacrifice Bella would have to endure if she turned into a vampire that was said in the previous books? Not being able to have a family (baby), being in pain the first year (transformation), losing your family (her father and mother because she would be thirsty for them)...i could just go on and on!
4)The whole anti-climatic war against the Volturi than NEVER ended up happening!! 200 pages of preparing for a "war" that never happends in the end!! PATHETIC!!
5)Stephanie Meyers ruined her series with this ridiculous book, it was practically a compilation of a bunch of crappy fan fiction put together! And no Stephanie, the Rob effect wont work on me with this book! I just pretend that the 4th book never happen and look at the twilight series as a trilogy because the first 3 books were VERY good and the 4th one could have been AMAZING but was a complete failure!!!!!!

Kari says:
The first part about the weddig was great, but I wish she would have survived the pregancy on her own, in human form. SM could have made it so that something happened that made Bella want to stay human, because I think thats what's best for all of them, but its hard to decide.
Posted November 24, 2008
? says:
The characters were completly destroyed. What happened to Bella? She should never have been that powerful as a vampire! Maybe the great control but the powers was too much, and there should of been a fight with the volturi. The ending was horrible because it was just too easy. Edward completly changed. And whatever happened to Jasper and Esme? They completly dissapered. Renesme(spell?) took over the whole book. All the relationsips didn't matter anymore, it was all aobut her.

JustAls says:
I did not want the book to end... about 100 pages before it ended, I flipped to the back to see the list with all the different vampires.. and I accidentally flipped to the last page where it said "The End" and I was like NooOO!! Because I thought there was going to be 5 books in this series... so now I'm sad... I didn't want it to end...

Alex O' Mahony says:
It just contradicted everything in the previous books. Everyone got everything they wanted and with no consequenses. What ever happened to the suffering and heartache that Bella's choices inflicted? It was just gone. If this was always going to be the the end of the saga why did SM even bother with New Moon and Eclipse??? I'm just going to try my best to forget that breaking dawn was ever written...

JacobsMySunShine says:
She didn't write it for herself, she wrote it for the fans. There were too many plot twists too fast and Bella wasn't the same person any more. I didn't hate it but it wasn't great. I expected Bella to have to give up more for what she wanted but instead she got everything. Life doesn't work like that. And Jacob should have ended up with Leah.
Posted August 08, 2008
Liz says:
to many plot twists SM tried to make to many people happy when the pace was fast...man it was fast...but when it was slow it it went on and on the baby was just lame and i couldnt relate to bella anymore she just wasnt the same there were no moments in this book that made me have butterflys and i was really hoping for that becuase it is the last book, also bella should have had to fight for edward...just my opinion there love was to easy for them

I DONT HATE THE ENDING, BUT IT WASN'T MY FAVOURITE. HOW ELSE COULD YOU HAVE ENDED IT? I REALLY WANTED THERE TO BE A FIGHT ALSO. I WAITED FOR IT, BUT IT DIDN'T COME. ANOTHER THING THAT BUGGED ME WAS BELLA AND HOW POWERFUL SHE WAS. I THOUGHT SHE WAS GIVEN TOO MUCH POWER IN THE BOOK, BETWEEN SKIPPING HER FIRST YEAR AND HAVING THE CONTROL OR A VAMPORE DECADES OLDER THAN HERSELF.AND THEN BEING ABLE TO EXTEND HER MIND BLOCK, IT WAS JUST TOO MUCH. EVERYTHING WAS JUST TOO EASY FOR HER. MAYBE IT'S JUST ME.
