there's nothing new it's all been done before

[emmanette]

I finally finished Breaking Dawn. At first I didn't even want to comment on it all all, then I had this long rant prepared but finally I thought that since most things have probably been said already there were just a few thoughts I wanted to add.

First of all this book took me almost a month to finish (I finished the previous ones within 24 hours after I started reading them) and that should give you an idea of what I thought about this book. I really had to force myself to pick up the book and read and I think the only reason I finished it so "quickly" or even at all was because I didn't want to bring it to Oxford.

- I don't like how SM writes characters that I really love only to ruin them for me in the next book. In Twilight it was Edward, in New Moon it was Jacob, in Eclipse it was Jasper (and partly Rosalie). And now when I'm finished with Breaking Dawn I hardly have any love left for either of them.

- Someone said the moral of the story in this book is "you can have your cake and eat it too" - it's actually true. Bella is not forced to make a single choice in this book, everything just... works out the way she wants it and all the problems everyone was worrying about just don't happen. Everything is way too perfect.

- I still have huge issues with the whole werewolfs imprinting on children thing. *shudders* Jacob/Leah FTW! She was actually the only character I liked in this book because she didn't act like an immature teenager all the time like the rest of them. Or at least when she did she had reason to do so.

- The title of the final chapter, I mean really? Why don't you just call the book "Everyone's happy and no one dies" or something. When you have a preface with the chapter titles and "the happily ever after" is the title of the final chapter it just makes the whole thing even more predictable than it already was. And I have nothing against happy endings (yes I secretly love the epilouge in Deathly Hallows!) but really there are limits to what I can handle. DH had a happy ending but for that to happen sacrifices had to be made but here - nope, no sacrifices.
