Breaking Dawn

Edward is an overly possessive old man and this is absolutely not a healthy relationship. The book is trash the author can’t write plus the way it depicts women is quite disgusting. -Addie

I keep seeing people making comments about hating this book, and I’m like… well, if you hated it why did you read it? And some of them are making me go a little hysterical like, if you hate it so fricken much why are you taking so much time to write a bad review? Anyways I love this book ❤️( Team Edward!!!)

This book is great I especially enjoyed the wedding and the part where she’s adjusting to being a vampire. Unfortunately I saw the movie first and whenever I try to imagine renesme all I can think of is the crap CGI baby they used. They need to make another book because it was a bit of a cliffhanger because we know that the voltori will come after them again and they will have to defeat them and also another reason she should make another book is so they can meet Fred from Short second life. All and all it’s a great book she just needs to make another one

I read these books about twice a year ( not including the newest edition (the fifth book) that I still have yet to lay my eager eyes upon) the storyline is so well written with love and care for every detail, and character and their mindset of things. I recently read all four books that I own in three days and when I read the last page I actually felt remorse. You will defiantly laugh, cry, smile, and and have your eyes glued to the pages just as I did. I really cried at certain parts, and laughed and smiled throughout the book. (It’s very sarcastic) you will never be able to set it down once you pick it up. The carictoes have so much life and are most cortainly not shallow. Just insecure like all people. I read these books, first four to this one, in three days, This is recommended to everyone. I am team Edward and team Jakob depending on my mood….both of them are amazingly passionate in all that they do, I hope to see a sequel I. These books where we get to see Renesme’s side of the story, and see her friendship with Jacob grow as she does, and watch it transform into another unlikely love story as it was with her parents, Edward and Bella. 🥰🤔👌👁️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Idk what happened with the movies tho, I could hardly make it through the first twenty minutes, in the movies the parts are not played well, the actors that were chosen are typically amazing actors, but for this movie they were poorly chosen. The movies are a total waste of time and energy. Don’t make the same mistake as me. Save yourself from my mistake.

First of all amazing story line. I enjoyed turning every page and was disappointed when the pages ended. I do agree that this is for _mature audiences_ there is some... older content however it was lovely to read. I do think that instead of Jacob’s portion in the book you could’ve switched it with Edward. After all he was the on who ###SPOILERS### changed her into a vampire. I would like to know what was going through his head then. Totally love the books and hope you keep writing them. As soon as I get started you don’t see me for a few days! Team EDWARD!!!❤️❤️❤️

I LOVE twilight. The awesomeness, romance, the suspense. Even though Jacob can be such a JERK at times, he cares about Bella, but I’m team Edward! Go Renesmee!!!

definitely liked the ending, different from the movie, but i liked it a lot!

Weird and trash

There's this sub-genre in romance, which YouTuber Lindsey Ellis called "My Monster Boyfriend." It's basically a metaphor of how society thinks the gender roles for men and women should be in romantic relationships. If you look at stories where a human and monster fall in love, there's about an 80% chance that the human is a woman, and the monster is a man. These "monster boyfriends" all possess the same characteristics: severe anger issues, high sex drive, obsessive possession, unyielding devotion, and raw strength. These are traits that are often coded as positive qualities in men. The human woman is usually portrayed as weak, helpless, kinda dumb, and frequently persuaded by other (human) men who want to take advantage of her. This is how the story justifies the monster's terrible behavior towards the woman and other people. There's also another love interest who's a human man. He's usually the opposite of the monster; kind, gentle, and open with his emotions. However, he's usually seen as inferior to the monster or isn't a "real man." Just like how society shames men for avoiding conflict by walking away from a fight or apologizing. Men (at least in fiction) are often praised for acting like they "own" their partners by threatening the lives of any men that so much as look at them. There's also the trope of the male monsters having an insatiable desire to kill/eat the woman, but he can control himself due to the power of love. This is an example of the harmful belief that it's a woman's job to "fix" the man. Also, the reason monster and human are in love is usually because the monster sees the human as a helpless child in need of protection. The human is willing to put up with the monster's abusive behavior because she's thankful for him saving her life. Romance stories where the monster is a woman and the human is a man are almost the polar opposite. First of all, the woman is always the stereotypically "sexy" type of monster, such as vampires, mermaids, succubi, and witches. The common trait with female monsters is they're virgins who are so overwhelmingly beautiful that they drive men crazy ("Born Sexy Yesterday" - Pop Culture Detective). They are also helpless and need protection due to being pursued by other men. These men are usually other monsters who intend to marry her (generally by arranged marriage), monster hunters, or government agents that want to experiment on her. The monster woman may be physically stronger than the human man, but her ignorance of the human world makes her dependent on him. The monster woman's one goal, besides survival, is usually to marry and have a baby with the human male and be a happy domesticated housewife. This is usually the catalyst that drives the human man to protect her. The reason why the monster woman is in love with the human man is usually because he's the first man to love her for her and not just her looks, or she's infatuated by his human traits (despite him having no redeemable qualities). Twilight is a perfect example of the "My Monster Boyfriend" romance sub-genre. All of the male monsters have the same obsessive and possessive traits, yet are treated as normal and even attractive. As for the female monsters, the one that stuck out to me the most were Leah and Rosalie. What separates them from other monster women in romance stories is they are both demonized and perpetually tormented (both by the author and the characters) because they can't have children, and therefore aren't seen as real women. Leah is ostracized and treated like a freak because she's the first female werewolf, which made her infertile. Because the werewolves share a hive mind, she can't think about her "feminine problems," or else it'll make the men uncomfortable. Not to mention because the alpha of the pack refuses to allow anyone to leave, she has to stay and watch the love of her life be happily married to her cousin. Also, her dad died because he had a heart attack when he watched her first transform. Rosalie is given the mean girl treatment because she didn't immediately accept Bella as part of the family, rightfully questioned why she had to risk her life for a stranger, and she's the only character whose backstory involves rape. Rosalie was still slightly less demonized than Leah since she was rich, white, feminine, and wanted to protect Bella's baby. Twilight's weirdest aspect was how the male monsters could pass on their genes, but the female monsters couldn't get pregnant. Bella got special treatment since she was able to give birth and become a vampire. It's almost as if Stephanie Mayer (and by proxy a lot of romance authors) was trying to say that male monsters are the peak of masculinity and female monsters are abominations that are not real women. But that's just speculation. In case it wasn't clear, I did not like this story. It's another example of romanticizing abuse.

(This is coming from a 12 year old) An incredible book. I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie Myer’s writing and how much emotion it causes me. I CRIED SO HARD IN THE SECOND BOOK! I read the whole saga in under 4 days, and I never had a better reason for sleep deprivation lol. 10/10 recommend 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
