Stephenie Meyer, Breaking Dawn Review

Overall Rating

It has the happy ending everyone wanted.

I felt that in this book i lost any connection with Bella. I can't help but feel that as a character she is endlessly selfish, willing to hurt all those who love her in order to be with a boy. Is this really the sort of role model we want for teenage girls around the world? A girl that will put a boy before anything and everything? I know that books are meant to be fantasy and ideal but Bella just became this self sacrificing martyr obsessed with Edward.

I generally liked the book well enough, it was a conclusion to the series and it was the conclusion that everyone wanted. I have to say the ending was a bit anti-climatic ... a huge build up that was diffused so quickly and easily. I was disappointed.
