**************SPOILERS!! DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!!!*********************

since im reading the entire saga at once and the books are starting to run together im going to review it as i read it.

breaking dawn is the first book in the saga that i am reading before seeing. i prefer it this way, so far. i like being able to imagine it my own way instead of having some filmmakers view of the characters/scenes/etc. in my head.

Book 1- Bella
the book starts with bella and edwards wedding. i have to say, it got a bit cheesy too teen romance for me. a wedding? really? it just kind of went a bit too far for me. a bit much- too fairytale-ish.
then it moved on to their honeymoon and the first time they had sex. for me- this is where the book started getting good. i already knew that they were gong to have a baby (a friend accidentally spilled the beans) but i didnt think it would be so early on. im really excited to see where this is going.

Book 2- Jacob
so throughout the rest of the books up until now, i haven't really liked Jacob. he's been to childish for me. ive wanted to like him, and ive liked his chatacter in the movies, but...
loved love loved getting his perspective! FINALLY!! we get insight. we get the wolf side of him.
this chapter was so exciting for me and i had a really really hard time putting it down. so much going on- such intensity. no more baby Jacob.
i was on the edge of my seat with everyhting going on- bella getting worse, the wolf pack splitting up, jacob taking over, edward and jacobs relationship- where was it all going?
bella finally had the baby at the end of this book..and of course her human life ended.
can someone kill rosalie already?
and whats with jacob and the baby?

Book 3- Bella
Ugh. After reading this final part of BD, i really wish i hadnt picked up the book and had just made up my own ending. it was too cheesy for me.
first off- i saw the whole jacob imprinting on renesme before it happened. i ran into my sister's room and begged her to tell me that i was guessing wrong. it was just...to sappy for me.

then when the volturi came to judge the cullens i thought- yes! a war! some action! fighting!!!..or not. a little confrontation, they leave, la di da life is grand. i wanted some drama! some killing!

instead, they all live happily ever after. boo.
