Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer

Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer
Read: June 2009

This was another weighty but not heavy book from the Twilight series - and the last one...
I was told that this story was better than the last two and that there was lots of sex in it!
To be honest I found it much the sme as the other few books. That there was too much story to get through, and so much explaination and description that the 700-page book could have been two books, or coudl have been shortened to be more punchy.
There were a good few twists in the story that I didn't predict. Again it was the twists around Jacob's story that I enjoyed the most and there was some good humour in it.
I think Buffy The Vampire Slayer had some better morals - sleep with your boyfriend and he turns nasty! But this had some good morals too - unprotected sex leads to pregnancy!!
Most of the loose ends in the story have been tied up - Bella is happy, Charlie is happy, etcetc, but nothing has been totally closed from a future book. Woudl I read another book? I probably would as I have the time here and trashy/easy books can be fun. But I wouldn't buy it. I think reading this series and some of the other fiction I have read this year reminds me why I do enjoy non-fiction more, but maybe it's because I haven't quite found the fiction for me...not a teenage romance, not a singleton looking for love, but something else. I'll just have to keep looking - I have the time at least!!
