Stephenie Meyer, Breaking Dawn. Little, Brown and Company. 2008. Fiction. Theme: Love conquers all and can last an eternity. Background: The fourth and final book in the Twilight series.
Starting off where Eclipse left off, Bella is engaged to the love of her life, and vampire, Edward Cullen. Within the first few chapters, Edward and Bella marry and go to the beautiful Isle Esme, an island Carlisle had bought for his wife Esme, for their honeymoon. However, the fun is cut short when Bella becomes pregnant. They rush home where Bella seems as though she is slowly dying as the small half-vampire baby drains her of blood. Bella is forced to drink blood in order to stay alive and feed the baby. A few weeks later, just after Bella gives birth to the baby, Edward must save her from death and turn her into a vampire. Later on the Volturi, vampires who make sure others follow the rules, believe the baby, Renesmee, is full vampire and is a danger to society. They plan to come to kill the Cullen family for their “wrong doings”. The Cullens must gather as many of their friends as possible to tell the truth of Renesmee and save the family. Can they beat the most powerful vampires in existence or will they fall in defeat?
This book is a memorable book. Stephenie Meyer’s writing is simple and easy to follow. The book has a mix of suspense and romance. Because the book is highly fiction it does not have many connections to real life. However, it teaches that family and good friends will always be there for you, even at death’s door in Bella’s case.
I highly recommend reading Breaking Dawn, especially if you read the first three books. You’ll never want to put it down. Suspense lingers on every page.
