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.

Customer Rating:      Summary: As good as the first one, or better... Comment: I didn't get around to reading the book until recently, so I am obviously not a rabid fan. In fact, I found the second book to be excruciating, and the third felt like filler, but, I'm not one to leave a series unfinished... And I had heard that some people weren't happy with the last book, so I was curious to see what all the talk was about. And after I read Breaking Dawn, I still wasn't sure why people were so upset. I felt like this was perhaps the best one of the series. It was the most interesting, the most engaging, and had the most developed plot of just about all of the books. Bella finally stopped being an immature, annoying whiner, there was a minimum of melodramatic pining, and she wasn't this uselessly weak character anymore. And that is why so many people didn't like this book. What I found annoying and unnecessary and a weakness in the other novels is what so many of you romance lovers connected to, so since the melodramatic romance was at a minimum in Breaking Dawn, of course you guys wouldn't like it as much. But, really, if you look at things objectively, this is one of her best written books and certainly the most engaging for me, personally...
Customer Rating:      Summary: loved the whole series Comment: I LOVED IT!!!! I don't understand what all the negative comments are about. IT IS A FANTASY. I am glad I didn't listen to any of them, because I would have missed a great book. I could not put it down. I kept wanting to go the end to look to see how it turned out. Loved the happy ending. I will read the series again.
Customer Rating:      Summary: What's with the 1 star people?! Comment: I've got to say that, having NEVER rated a book here before, I just couldn't resist once I read those less than 'glowing' reviews of this book, and, basically of this Twilight Saga. Come on people! THESE ARE THE BEST! It's fiction! Didn't you just want to read it to enjoy being absorbed in a fantastic STORY of make believe? I think too many are over analyzing this series. I'm a voracious reader, and, at my teenaged daughter's promptings, decided to read this series of books. I've thanked her daily this past week as I devoured all four of them within 7 days! If you're a 'hopeless romantic' - which I'm NOT embarassed to say that I am - and someone who loves to read as a fun, entertaining escape from reality, then I couldn't recommend these books any more than I have. And believe me, I've been recommending them to everyone I've been speaking to this last week. I couldn't get enough of them, and know that the characters that Stephenie has created here will remain in my heart for YEARS to come. I don't care what anyone may think about me with my 'old-fashioned' morals and ideas, but I loved that she waited until AFTER she was married to engage in sex, that she loved being a mother, and that she adored Edward and her 'family'. I agree that she's now got forever to go to college and enjoy anything else her immortality can offer her. So, bottom line for me...it was a TERRIFIC BOOK, and, to quote the name of the last chapter, "The Happily Ever After" that I, personally, was wishing for on this AMAZING saga. WAY TO GO Stephenie!! Can't wait to see the movie!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: You've got to read this book!!! Comment: Best book in the series. I totally loved this story. Of all four books it is my favorite. It really pulls everything together and you find that you really can love all the characters. So many times in the other books I just wanted to slap Bella or Jacob but in the last book it all came together well. You have got to read this book!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Happy Ever After Comment: Breaking Dawn was the wonderful ending to a wonderful story. Bella develops into a mature adult and gets married, has a child that she gives up her human life for and Edward gets to be a dad which he thought was impossible. Even Jacob has his happy ending as he finds his soul mate in Bella's daughter. To me it was the fairytale ending to a fairytale story. It couldn't have ended any other way.
