Breaking Dawn - Stephenie Meyer


OMG. People will understand, the book was just too thick to think about! LOL! It took me exactly 5 days to finish reading. I was supposed to finish this last night, but my eyes were already drooping and the words I was reading seem sooo meaningless to me already.

So I just finished it today. I was so expecting for a WAR to happen, honestly. I noticed in the four books, the action came alternately. There was one in Twilight, then none in New Moon then there's another war in Eclipse and none again in Breaking Dawn.

But that was one thing that I liked in the saga. How the author was able to make her book a bestseller even without violence. Just pure love and care for the family.

I can also see the reason why some readers didn't like Breaking Dawn. Probably because of how it ended. No war, no summit climax, no one got hurt and everything. But I understand it. Because for me, even if the supernatural was involved, I still believe that the main purpose of the Twilight saga was to let us know that no matter how different people are, co-existence is still possible if there's love in our hearts.

Man, that was deep! LOL! And it was funny why I wasn't able to hate Jacob in Breaking Dawn. In fact, he's the funniest and most absurd character in the whole novel. It was crazy, he's actually done all the things that I never expected.

Of course, Edward Cullen was still the best character for me. He's so awesome. He has this really calm attitude that can also calm you, not just because Jasper's around.

Oh yeah, Alice was the greatest side-character that I've ever seen on books. As I would always say, I'd definitely trade everything to have a sister like her. No matter how annoying she could be especially with dealing with parties (like Bella, I hate parties - formal parties), she's still the best sister anyone could have.

And Emmet is the counterpart of Alice for me. His good-natured attitude and positive outlook on things remind me of myself. The way I deal with problems with a smile is also like the way Emmet deals with danger. No pessimism, everything is a game, though taken very seriously.

In conclusion, Breaking Dawn is something worth reading, really. Although there are some boring parts and a lot of narrations, It still was able to convey the true message it wanted the readers to acquire. Appreciate love no matter the difference.
