| Was this your favorite out of the whole series or did you think it was just 'ok'? Personally, I loved it! I thought it was the best out of the series. It had a lot of twists I hadn't been expecting and I loved that. Stephenie did another great job | |

| Its deninently my favourite one. I like four, then three, then one, then two. i think the noly reason i like two so little is because jacob just wont give up, but in the fourth he accepts that bella`s out of his reach. So, i thought book four was amazing. Very surprised by Paul imprinting on rachael, and jakes imprint on Renesmee | |

| Yeah! My order would have to be: BD, twilight, eclipse, new moon. Basically for the same reasons. And BD has such variation, 'cos the whole thing isnt just about Bella. You get more perspective by seeing things in Jake's eyes [even though I don't like him too much]. It was interesting. | |

| Oh yeah! And speaking of wives and such, I was sorta shocked that Stephenie put so much in there about.. 'doing it'. ahha. Like Emmett's jokes and about what they all do at night. That was hilarious! | |

| yeah, the first (few) in a series are always better. Especially when the series is as big as twilight/hp. if i had to choose one of the four, it would DEF be twilight. also, bd is so much more intense than i expected!! | |

| It was action-packed! hahah. That's why i liked it though. It had so much stuff that you had no idea was coming. Twilight was a little more predictable. | |

| i dunno. im kinda freakish about calling stuff. i knew bella was pregnant at the eggs. (where it comments on how many eggs she's been eating) and once she was pregnant i called it being a girl and jacob imprinting on her. i swear. you can ask my friends. and we all knwe the volturi would be the bad guys. and i caught onto the whole immortal children deal to.
i pick up on hints in books really well. xD | |

| Haha. Yeah i guessed the pregnancy thing too when she was talking about how much she ate. It's still hard to think of Bella as a mom though. Gah, i can't get it through my head that she had a kid. She just never seemed the type. xD | |

| I loved Breaking dawn. bella being pregnant surprised me and then how she wouldn't let the baby go. I didn't like rosalie in this book because it seemed like she didn't care about bella, but she wanted the baby. this book made me really like jacob. I'm glad stephenie wrote part of the book from his perspective because I really got to know him and like him. This book was amazing. I slept with it in my arms for three nights in a row I loved it so much. i wouldn't let anyone touch it at all. now it is sitting on my bookshelf next to the others and being admired. | |

| I loved Breaking Dawn don't get me wrong, but I don't really think it was Steph's usual style, I mean, I've read tons of fanfics just like that, give or take a few little things here and there. I liked it but I personally believe that it seemed kind of like Steph tried to rush through it a bit more than the other ones..... seemed like she moved the plot really fast at the start, realized it, threw Jacob's POV in to slow it down a bit and then picked it right back up............... I don't think there was as much detail in this one as there was in the other ones........ but that's just my personal opinion. | |

| Ugh. Am I the only one who was disappointed? I agree with Megan about the fanfics...it was just so OUT THERE. It didn't feel like real twilight lore at all. At every turn I was like, "There's no way she'd ever do that," and then it would happen. So, I place this book at the bottom of my twilight list....which goes New Moon, Twilight, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn. So yeah, I'm mad at this book. But I loved Leah. :S | |

| ELLIE THANK YOU!!! My book order is the exact same as yours!!
I know I didn't wait anywhere near as long as all you people who have been with this series since the beginning, but I waited almost half a year for this book, and I was utterly disappointed.
To start off... WHY did Bella agree to keeping Renesmee? She didn't want to get MARRIED, let alone have a kid. So what made her decide all of a sudden that she wanted to keep her? Then Bella morhped into a rabbit or something, because after the first night of their honeymoon, all she wanted was sex from Edward. Let's get real here.
The birth scene was disgusting. That's all I'm going to say.
Renesemee destroyed three of the most loved characters: Bella, Edward, and Jacob. Jacob not so much as the other two, but their characters were just torn apart. Reread the book, then you'll see what I mean.
The long anticipated battle between the good vampires and the Volturi never happened. They just stood there for 3 chapters trying to decide whether to kill Renesmee or not (in my opinion, they should have, but then Jake wouldn't have had his perfect happy ending). I had to skim through the last 3 chapters, on top of forcing myself to read the entire book because I was so bored with it.
There were two things I liked in this book: Bella's transformation and her waking up. It was awesome! But then Stephenie totally trashed it by giving Bella immediate resistance to human blood.
To sum it all up, I hated this book. I'm tempted to just burn my copy and send Stephenie the ashes in a tattered urn. | |

| Eh, I didn't think BD was that great.... The first 360 pages were like a bad fan fic.
New Moon is still my favorite. Jake = LOVE. | |
