It's hard to close a trilogy or series with something that does justice to the whole up to that point. |

Yeah, I believe so. Look at the Twilight fans, loads of them are roaring angry over the new book. |

I still haven't read Breaking Dawn.... ....even though I'm dying to!I was going to order it from Amazon but because it takes a week to arrive and I'm leaving for the UK in a few days it will arrive after I've left.... ....So I'm going to have to wait to buy it in England... ....I've heard it was pretty disappointing though...

Well, I didn't mind it. I actually liked the middle alright...it was a bit more grisly than the other books. But it was different...had a different tone than the others. Not that that's a bad thing...but it's not wonderful or anything. |

Ugh, I've heard some pretty ugly spoilers. |

Yeah, those spoilers were leaked before the book came out and everyone was like this is impossible, it can't be true....yeah they were. And it was bad. |

Yeah I've heard stuff like Spoiler: click to toggle I usually have problems with reading spoilers but with the speed I'm going at now it'll probably be another three years before I actually read the book. |

My mom's reading it. She was all traumatized earlier cuz Edward apparently gave Jake permission to bang Bella cuz he didn't want a vampire child. Serves her right for fangirling the series.

I tried to restrain myself from reading the spoilers but , as always I failed.... So do you think it was generally okay but not good enough to be the last book of the series , or do you think it was a total letdown...? |

I don't really like them, so I'm technically not the best person to ask. I thought that it wrapped things up well, and I'm sure fans will really like the very beginning. There were some weird things...and things I think most people will balk at. The ending isn't exactly how I would bring a climax together, but...at least people can't be mad about who died. It was written in a different tone from the rest of the series. |
