Breaking Dawn

Would you risk your life for the one you loved? What about a stranger? Stephenie Meyer's Breaking Dawn captivated me with its romance and action scenes.
Breaking Dawn includes two themes. One could be to never give up on something you love. Although Edward is a vampire, Bella loved him and became a vampire so she could be with him. Another one might be to fight for anything that is important to you. The Cullens knew they were going to all die, but they kept fighting because Renesmee was so important to them.
Even though there is nothing that really stands out about Stephenie Meyers writing style, I enjoy the way she writes very much. She is very descriptive in her writing, and almost makes you feel like you're going through the exact same things as the characters. Meyer can make you hurt for the characters when they're hurting, and makes you feel joy for them when they feel joy.
The characters in this book are very similar to the romance novels I have read before. There is obviously the boy and girl who fall in love, but unlike in other books, this love was never meant to be. Bella and Edward, the main Characters, seem to come to life. Although Edward is not the ideal boyfriends, seeing as how he is a vampire, any girl fallins in love with him. In the beginning, I did not like Bella. I thought she was too plain and wasnt the type of characer the author should have put in her position. As i kept reading, I began to love this character and could not think of anyone better. In my opinion, the characers more than anything make the book as great as it is.
Breaking Dawn has more htan one setting. Wherever the setting is, Meyer makes you feel like you're there. In one part of the book, Bella and Edward are running through the woods, and the author is so descriptive I could have closed my eyes and seen everything they were seeing in the woods. Some of the book's settings are very easy to picture while some are made up, and are harder to picture in your head at first.
Throughout the book, and the books before in the series, everything is going perfect for the characters and one small detail will change the story so much you don't want to put the book down until you finish. In this sotry, Bella and Edward get married. Bella realizes she has to make a huge decision in the next few weeks. Will she become a vampire and live forever or not? WHile on her and Edward's honeymoon, something starts growing inside of her. Bella is pregnant. When the Cullens realize the thing inside Bella is slowly killing her, they all know it can't be a human baby. Will this creature be so dangerous that the Volturi, the law of the camprites, will be invloved? When the story writes over to the point of Jacob, he also has very important decisions to make. He must decide whether to keep fighting for the girl he's always loved, Bella, even if she is about to become a werewolf's worst enemy. He also must decide whether that love is enough to betray his own kind for.
Even though I have not fallen in love with a vampire, I was able to connect with all the characters in many ways.
This book is hihghly recommended for readers who have finished the books Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. Stephenie Meyer finishes this series in a way that will keep you satisfied, not leaving you with unanswerred questions.
