Breaking Dawn....wow

Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was the strangest book I have ever read, by a mile. I don't generally read fantasy with the exception of the Harry Potter books. For some reason, I never found the stories as strange and completely off the wall as the Twilight series. Stephenie Meyer went places that I would not have thought a human being could come up with.

I am really intrigued to see how they adapt this one into two movies, as they recently announced. The casting of Renesmee may be the hardest thing for any casting director to ever do. I wouldn't be surprised if they go CGI, like Avatar.

The only qualm I had with the book is the way Stephenie Meyer copped out on describing Bella and Edward making love. When they went on their honeymoon, I was so disappointed that it went from that night to the next morning with no description at all except to note what a mess of the room Edward had made. I don't know how it could be feasible that a vampire could do it with a human, with the way his body is described as hard as granite. Also, when they are both vampires they make love from night until dawn without stopping. This has me wondering how they could have possibly conceived when Bella was human. If Edward never 'finishes' per se, there is no conception, right? Maybe I'm overthinking it. Oh well, that's why they call it fiction.

LOVED the ending, too.
