Breaking Dawn is breaking down

I know some of you aren't happy with Breaking Dawn. So far, Janet, you're the only one out of our group to think that. But we're still waiting on Regina, Jennifer, Becky and Jonathan to have finished. They're all hovering between New Moon and Eclipse. So it won't be long now. I'm curious what they think of it, too. I actually liked it though. I thought it was more sweet that they were actually able to conceive and it come as a shock to the whole family. It did take LOTS of turns and was close to getting a little too crazy but I still enjoyed it. I think that sometimes authors get so caught up in the hype that they're in a frenzy to finish and the story starts to suffer. I read a review by a 13yr old and she felt that the book was a departure from Bella and Edward's true world. I agree, for sure. I never expected them to have a child, I expected the standoff at the end to turn out different. But all in all, I'm a hopeless romantic and ALWAYS want the "happily ever after" to happen for such beloved characters. I'm reading Eclipse again, now and will probably be starting Breaking Dawn this weekend. I'm planning on reading much slower. In my haste to plow through the books at lightening speed, I've misunderstood some things and have missed some as well. So I'm glad to be re-reading them. I think I'll have a better opinion of the book after that. I loved it and I'll definitely be super thrilled to be reading it again. And sad on the other hand because I've finished the series and the only thing I have is the movie in 2 months. So I'll re-read them again, I'm sure. I still hope that Stephenie will finish Midnight Sun. It's a million times better than Twilight, but only after you've read the entire series. Otherwise, you'll be more confused than anything and the mysteries of the series won't be there anymore. I think the main reason I'm able to love Breaking Dawn is because I have SO much vested in Bella and Edward and the world they exist in that it's not that far out there about the events that happen. I love her special talent all the more and having re-read the first few books am starting to see more hidden info about her talent and her fate as a vampire. I was super happy that she actually got to become one, I'm still having a little trouble visualizing Edward being happy about having a child when he never expected that would happen to him. The book never shows his full joy about being a father. So I'm just curious about that. Also, with Bella being so dead-set against getting married the first place, it's hard to believe having a baby would be something she'd totally immerse herself in. But I guess no matter what age, if you are so passionately in love with someone like that and you share another human being, then I suppose she could for lack of  better words "be a bit off her rocker". Reading Bella's perspective makes me feel like she's very overbearing for Edward's existence and his family. She brings much trouble with her and they all must face it because of Edward's love for her in addition to the family's love for her. Also, with her being a shield, I think part of her talent is she's able to solve problems and almost has a higher intuition than others. She really knew that this baby was going to be good and not bad. I admit, I was second guessing her, though. I was on team Edward at that point. The blood drinking thing made sense in a sick way. I thought it was an interesting twist on that part of the story. Weird but interesting. I loved getting to see her hunt and learn how to expand her talents and make herself much more than she thought she could be. Alright, I'll stop rambling. Incase you haven't noticed...I'm a Twihard!

Ciao!
