Book Review of Breaking Dawn (Twilight, Bk 4)

Breaking Dawn (Twilight, Bk 4)

Read this as a horror book, and suddenly it becomes much more enjoyable. All those 'adult' themes turn into ominous scenes of entrapment and/or gory violence. As a horror story, I'd give it three stars for effectiveness. (A year later, and some of the gorier 'adult' scenes are still horrifically clear in my mind).

That said, it's still pretty incoherent. I agree with the many other reviewers who said that the book felt unpolished -- full of Deus ex machina plot devices, weirdly unrecognizable characters, and embarrassingly bad dialogue. Although I enjoyed the first book in this series (in a 'trashy romance' way), I would not recommend this book to anyone.

Unless you are planning to get a group of friends together and play some kind of badfic-related drinking game.
