Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

To tell you the truth, I've hated the Twilight saga ever since the first book, but due to my disorder of being unable to stop reading a series once I've started it, I read the whole series. So on 10/3/2015 (I think!), I FINALLY finished the series and I've got to say, Breaking Dawn is the best book in the series what with Jacob being removed from the irksome and perpetual love triangle annoyingly replayed a million times in the first three. Below is a synopsis of the whole series and if you're one of those people who's just so fainéant (HA! Search the meaning for that!) please feel free to skip it.

Bella has just arrived to Forks from Phoenix and desperately trying to isolate herself from a sudden group of people who she seems to have attracted. Everyone seems to be her friend except...her biology partner, the guy who's eyes change colour everyday, has pearly white skin, is as cold as marble and as hard as one too, moves like a fawn, talks like he's singing in a musical - basically, someone right out of a fairytale. Who is Edward? Or rather, what is Edward?

After discovering that Edward is just another 107-year old vamp in Twilight, Edward soon leaves Bella due to certain complications and the peril Bella would face because of him. SO the whole of 'New Moon' is driven by Edward coming back. THEN, in Eclipse, Edward and his family (the Olympic coven) and Bella are attacked by new-born vampires (ones who were just tuned to vampires and cannot control themselves from the scent of human blood) and the whole plot is driven by the saving of Bella's life.

FINALLY, in Breaking Dawn, Bella's turned into vampire (she constantly wants to become a vamp throughout the series and she's also forced to become one by the Volturi (the vamp government that rules all the vamps in the world)), much against Edward's wishes who tries to convince her to spend some more time as a human. In a VERY startling turn of events, they beget Renesmee who seems to be against the norms of a vampire and the the plot is driven by this. However, I'd say that the ending was too lame: if the rising action was that there was no cake at someone's party, the resolution would be that someone went to the nearest store and buy some. THAT lame. I guess there were some positives though: Bella's a bit more mature as she finally understands a lot about Edward's life and she finally starts fighting.

Quick Quotes Quill:
    “Did you know that 'I told you so' has a brother,Jacob?" she asked cutting me off. "His name is 'Shut the hell up'.” 

     “Hey, Rosalie? Do you know how to drown a blonde? Stick a mirror to the bottom of a pool.”
