Question: Breaking Dawn a disappointment!?!?
I just finished it and it seemed to fairytale like and its completely different than the rest of the series!.!.!. I didn't like the way everything turned out and I predicted several things in the book chapters before it happened, like jacob imprinting on reneesme, bella pregnant, alice showing up when the volturi came!.!.!.!. Over all I'm kind of disappointed!.!.!. How do you guys feel about it!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It feels that way!.!.!. it was just so!.!.!.!. offf!.!.!. that it didn't feel like she even tried! Like she just wrote down the first thing that came to her mind!Ugh! Breaking Dawn was TERRIBLE! I was soooo looking forward to a feeling of a right closure, but everything that Stephenie Meyer wrote was just so!.!.!.!. wrong, so off-feeling! These are some of my reasons:

1!. There was no romance, no heart-pounding suspense when Bella got close to Edward!. Nothing that made it feel real, except the sex on Isle Esme!.

2!. The morning after they had sex, Edward gives himself a mental-beating for bruising Bella which made it awkward for the readers!.

3!. Bella get's pregnant!? By vampire venom, not sperm!? Please!.

4!. She wants to keep the damn thing!. What the hell!? It's KILLING her, and she's so blinded by the "love" of her parasitic baby that she ALLOWS it to break her pelvis, spine, ribs, ect!.

5!. While I did enjoy the Jacob point of view, the whole "Jacob leaves the pack with Seth and Leah and we don't hear from Sam or his pack for the rest of the book" really got on my nerves, especially after all they've been through in New Moon and Eclipse!.

6!. Bella if f***ing dying on the floor, vomitting blood that she's been gulping down like water for the past weeks, the parasite is breaking her bones, damaging her intournal organs, and she's yelling at Jacob, Edward, and Rosalie to save the monster and "NOT LET HIM DROWN!" !?!?!? Come on, get real!. Oh and did I mention the fact that Edward communicates with the freaky talking fetus, and wants to please it!? What the hell, Steph!?

7!. Edward just calmly tries to deliver the baby when Rose wants to eat Bella, then five minutes later when Bella is practically dead, Rosalie is coddling the baby, nidging noses with it, and pretending like Bella isn't dead on the floor!? I WANTED Jacob to attack the both of them, not IMPRINT on the damn thing!!!

8!. No one is in-character!. Emmett and Edward openly discuss their sex-lives, and Jacob phases in front of Charlie!? I think Meyer has lost it!. Officially!.!.!.

9!. The rest of the book was somewhat decent, but I felt no rightness, no closure!. Stephenie Meyer really dropped a doozy on this bookWww@QuestionHome@Com

I agree with everything you just said!.
I hated it!.
There wasn't a plot!.
There were plot holes the size of the grand canyon!.
Jacob's ending absolutely sucked!.
The writing was pretty bad!.
It was even more predictable than her other books have been!.
The ending was anti-climatic!.
There was absolutely NO conflict in the book!.
The entire book just sucked, and that's coming from someone who didn't really have high hopes for this book!. I've never been a diehard Twilight fan!. I was hoping BD would be good and somehow redeem Smeyer in my eyes, but it didn't!. At all!. The book was even worse than I was expecting!.

I returned it to Walmart today, actually!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i agree!. i thought the whole idea of bella getting pregnant and having a half vampire baby was really stupid!. i think stephenie meyer just wrote what most people wanted to hear!. they wanted bella and edward to get married, for something dramatic to happen to threaten it [the baby], for someone to leave or die to make it more dramatic [alice], for jacob to imprint on someone else so he isnt so obsessesd with bella, for bella to become a vampire, and for there to be a happy ending!.

it was all REALLY predictable, and made the book almost boring!. so yes, a HUGE disappointment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i agree compared to the other books it was a disappointment
i wish that the ending was't so perfect
mabey instead of the problem being resolved without a fight they should've had a fight break out
i also agree about some things being predictable
I didn't hate the book but i was diappointed about the endingWww@QuestionHome@Com

seriously, i thought I was the only one who thought the last book was a little wonky!.
First, alien monster baby, some pedophilia (jk but you get it), and anticlimactic ending with butterflies, bunnies, rainbows and sparkly vampires!.

I honestly expected it to go out with a bang!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It wasn't horrible but it wasn't the best either it was to predictive and not at all like the other books it read like it was meant to be a stand alone book to me but she did say that she had wanted to write this book as the first and her publishers told her noWww@QuestionHome@Com

people keep saying how she wrote exactly what the fans wanted!.!.!.but i'm a fan so that's what i wanted!. lol i dont know why everyone is complaining!. i mean, of course i was expecting more, but stephanie wrote everything very well in my opinion!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Seriously, this question has been asked a hundred times already!. Do some research!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I was disappointed also, most of the things that happened in breaking dawn I have already read on several badly written fanfictions!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yeah i was dissapointed also!.!. towards the end i was kinda thinking that bella and edward would die and the last chapter would be about renensmee and jacob in like 15 years or somethingWww@QuestionHome@Com

alot of ppl are disappointed and im one of them
it was too predictable
thats why im only counting the twilight series as a trilogyWww@QuestionHome@Com

Honestly I loved the way the book turned out it was better than I expected!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
