is one of the most awful books I have ever had the misfortune to read. I must discourage anyone from reading it, even though as a Twilight fan I wish for Stephanie Myers success as a writer.

I started this book with much anticipation, two years of anticipation in fact, and I can't even begin to express how frustrated I am by it's lack of connection to the rest of the series. It lacks Myers poignant and amplified perspective of the world of vampires. I truly expected Myers to pull together her story and finish off the trilogy with as much poise as she started it. However as soon as the wedding vows were said, I found myself disapointed in not just the plot but by the change in characters.

Bella, Myers feminist styled character goes from a strong minded heroine, to a week willed and frail pregnant mother. Myers character shift is distressing as well as unbelievably offensive to woman in general with her new portrayal of Bella in Breaking dawn.

All in all, from what I have read, it's not worth buying.

*please note: I am in no way against pregnancy but I do find it tragically offensive when woman are portrayed as week when pregnant. I feel that myers' description of Bella laying about, needing to be waited on by her husband due to her lack of strength when she is only 4 weeks into her first trimester to be ridiculous. So, once again. Nothing against pregnancy. It truly is, in my mind atleast, one of the most beautiful things in the world. :)*
