Reader reviews for Breaking Dawn

Review summary

This seller has earned a 3.04 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
3.04 / 5 (906 total reviews)

Reader reaction to Breaking Dawn was sharply divided. Many fans called it a satisfying or even best-in-series finale, praising the Jacob POV, Bella’s post-transformation agency, and the expanded vampire lore, and noting its compulsive readability. Critics cited bloated length, uneven pacing, implausible plotting, weak prose, and an anticlimactic resolution, with several finding the pregnancy and imprinting arcs disturbing or ill-judged. The large supporting cast impressed some and overwhelmed others. Overall, a polarizing end that delivered closure for devotees while alienating readers who wanted higher stakes or tighter craft.

Readers say this book is:
polarizing addictive anticlimactic bloated imaginative campy readable uneven pacing satisfying (for fans) controversial

From the publisher

In the explosive fourth book in the epic romantic saga, Bella has one final choice to make. Should she stay mortal and strengthen her connection to the werewolves--or leave it all behind to become a vampire?

When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?

To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs.

This astonishing, breathlessly anticipated fourth book of The Twilight Saga illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this heart electrifying romantic epic.

"You too might fall in love with its suspense and moving sensitivity" (The Daily News Tribune)
