Breaking Dawn is the last installment of Twilight saga. Finally it's coming to an end. It's also the thickest out of the whole saga and contains the longest plot and chain of events. After reading the whole series, I find that the first and the last book are the best, the 2nd and 3rd books are the seasonings to make you appreciate the last book. Another bravo for Meyer.
Again, picking up what was left in Eclipse, Breaking Dawn starts with a happy, merry chain of events for Bella and Edward (ugh, it's so hard not to give out too much spoiler), but off course after around 150 pages, things suddenly turn bleak (where got the fun of reading the book if it's all about happy events, right?).
What's unique about this book is that half of the book is told from Jacob's point of view. Partly maybe because it's too intense if it's told from Bella's point of view. But this way, readers can understand Jacob better and can't deem him to be too annoying anymore.
As for Edward, well, he wins our hearts again and again. Amazingly selfless and clearly devoted to one girl, it's any girls' dream comes true, in books, no reality. Lol... But in here, his sacrifices at least were equalized by Bella's, which won't make us think that Bella is one damn lucky girl. Again, it's part of a good plotting.
Less action than Eclipse, but enough suspense and rush thanks to Volturi evasion attempt. Surprisingly the chapters for this are very long, considering what previous books have, where action parts are relatively short. This time it takes about more than 1/3 of the book to plot the stress and demise that Volturi caused the Cullens.
So, overall, absolutely adore this saga because:
1. light reading (I can't take heavy readings, except for compulsory accounting textbooks)
2. good balance of comedy, drama, romance, and action, which is very entertaining
3. love the characters
4. it's a good bed time story, period.
