I recently bought Breaking Dawn, the last book in the Twilight series (not the LAST BOOK but the last to the story). I waited in the mall for HOURS with my friend reading Chicken Soup books on the Borders floor. We even fell asleep. Sadly, after all of that, I am greatly disappointed with Stephenie Meyer's work.
First of all, I was a little shocked when Bella got pregnant. I realize that they were old enough and all but it was sort of like a wake up call. Now they're no longer a romantic teenage couple. Put your hopes down, girls, because s**y teenage heart-throb Edward Cullen is now... a daddy.
Next, I know Bella was destined to become a vampire but I'm going to miss the delicately romantic relationship they had. With Bella being a fragile human and Edward being a vampire, it made for an adorable plot. Now they're both vampires, leaving the plot somewhat mundane and unappealing.
Furthermore, JACOB IMPRINTING ON RENESMEE? That's a little sick. And why didn't Edward practically kill him? He seemed blaze about the whole ordeal. If the man who wanted to steal your wife suddenly imprinted on your DAUGHTER, what would you think?? It reminded me of Cape Fear, and quite frankly that movie gave me a creeped out and disgusting feeling. Uggh.
Lastly, I know Renesmee isn't a regular baby, but I think it's a little too strange that she's practically a newborn and she already has shoulder-length hair. Twilight protrayed the Cullens as vampires sort of go against society's ancient vampire myths, and for those of you who aren't familiar with vampire lore, a baby born with teeth is a BIG sign of a vampire. That sort of clashed with the plot. I think the baby is a little too supernatural. I mean come on... a week old and she's already the size of a toddler? It just adds more weirdness to an already screwed up book.
I was very depressed at first when I finished the book. I no longer look at Twilight like I did before.
Aren't you guys tired of great series, games or books, becoming trash? Tomb Raider, Twilight... what will be next?
