For anyone that hasn't been to a store lately, the Twilight saga is the newest thing that is sweeping the world. Breaking Dawn is the fourth and last book in the saga written by Stephenie Meyer. The book picks up where Eclipse left off, where the two main characters, Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, become engaged. This is a canon of life, but not when one of the couple is a vampire. Edward has been a vampire for nearly a century and has found his true love in Bella. She wishes to become a vampire so she can be frozen at her current age and they can live together for eternity, but Edward refuses to change her until they are officially married. They tie the knot and go on their honeymoon, and within two weeks, Bella looks like she is two months pregnant when there should be no physical proof of the fetus. They are both dumbfounded because a human has never become pregnant with a vampire's child in history and lived. They return home to the rest of Edward's vampire family to try and figure out what to do. Bella wants to keep the aberration, which brings several hardships to the family as a whole. The rest of Breaking Dawn shows their struggles and the many ups and downs of their lives which I will leave for you to discover as you read the book.



I decided to read Breaking Dawn after reading CVerel's blog about the book. Although the length is overwhelming, it is a great book that is a constant page turner. Expecially after reading the first three books of the saga, it is almost impossible to rescind the book until you know the ending. I wish that Stephenie Meyer would keep writing more just to continue the story because I never want it to end. Her writing is filled with all of the emotion and detail that makes the story so great. Her whole writing style and way she present the book attracts me to the story, there is no specific quality. If it was written by anyone else, there is no way it would be as entrancing. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone, although I think that young adult women would enjoy it the most. However, men could definaltly take some notes from Edward.
