Breaking Dawn by
Stephanie Meyer
Review by: Emily Barber
As an avid fan of the “Twilight” series, I was pretty excited about the release of the fourth and final book “Breaking Dawn”.
Stephanie Meyer is a fabulous author.
Her style is phenomenal.
The story of “Twilight” started out as one of her dreams and she wanted to know what happened to the characters so she started writing.
As a result, “Twilight” and its incredible story of star-crossed lovers was born.
The book as a whole was very good!!
However, there are a few things that I thought were a bit silly.
For example, after Bella becomes a vampire, she’s done with her human friends.
I’m pretty sure that any of her mortal friends were not mentioned again in the book.
And at the end, when the Voltur show up (an ancient clan of Italian vampires) to get rid of Renesmee, all the vampires just stand there and talk.
I’m not one for violence but come on!
There should have been some sort of flight.
Other than that, the book is a 10/10!
One of the things that I enjoyed the most was the fact that Jacob’s point of view is in this book.
It really helps keep the reader informed.
Also, for everyone who has read every other book in the series, it really helps to understand Jacob and his motives.
This book really shows the gain in maturity the characters have had, but in particular Bella.
I think this really shows when she refuses to give up her baby.
This also shows her ability to love.
In conclusion, “Breaking Dawn” was an excellent novel.
I would recommend it to anyone of any age or gender.

Review by: Julene Preece
This book is an adventure story set in the present time in
Europe.
The main characters travel through a black hole to an alien planet.
This book was an easy read, with that I found it hard to put down.
There is a little bit of action which makes it exciting.
One of the main characters finds a girl he likes, so there is a bit of romance.
This book is the first in a trilogy and I would recommend this series.
