Author Stephenie Meyer’s “Breaking Dawn” book disappoints?
Monday, August 11, 2008 — by Wow Jones
Cover of Stephenie Meyer book
Been fascinated by the vampire empire that author Stephenie Meyer’s popular ‘Twilight Saga’ vampire books have developed. Specifically the promotion (and the online community) surrounding her books. I’ve read about how Stephenie Meyer has book readings in malls, high school gyms, and even has concerts tied into…
the selling of her book. I haven’t read any of them but her new book, “Breaking Dawn” was released last week to phenomenal sales.
For those interested, just read and click the headings on the sidebar for similarly themed postings on The Wow Jones Report. Hey, if you are interested in a new website that offers observations and analysis on attaining celebrity and stardom, then the Self-Stardom Blueprint is JUST for you. I’d love to hear from you. Ever wonder what it takes to be a star??? Let’s chat…
Author Stephenie Meyer
On a whim, I went to the amazon.com ”Breaking Dawn” page to quickly read what readers of this new book had to say about it. Apparently, Stephenie Meyer has a LOT of disappointed fans. Even the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly has an article devoted to this development.
I first came across Stephenie Meyer when I read about her I think a little over a year and a half ago. The article I read talked about the rallies her books have spawned and how she attends them and how she’s something of a rock-star author.
Author Stephenie Meyer signs book.
Will write more later. But I am curious, just what is it about the novel that is sooooooooooooooooo disappointing to readers of the popular ‘Twilight Saga’ series?

I read breaking dawn and it royally sucked. I have read fan fictions better than that.
August 12, 2008 at 2:29 pm
What is soooo disappointing is that technically speaking, this is a rough draft manuscript littered with plot holes, grammatical and spelling errors, a broken canon to the world Stephanie created, out of character characters…people fail to miss that we’re all most upset that a poorly edited text came out instead of a polished gem. She completely negated the other two books to make sure she got what she wanted in plot, even if stylistically, it didn’t work in the plot anymore.
That and she responds to the criticism by implying we don’t understand the book and we just need to give it time. Like we’re morons.

I loved the book! It has Bella and Edward taking their relationship to the next level and maturing. It seems people can no longer identify with Bella because she is no longer an insecure teenage. She is finally confident in Edward’s love for her. Characters matured as they should. Did you want them to be perpetually in high school mode forever? How boring! Did you want Jacob to be in love with Bella forever? Not me! He was annoying and always played the guilt trip. Characters matured as they should. Did you want them to be perpetually in high school mode forever? How boring! There were no plot holes – we were set up for this from Twilight. As Bella did research, she found that male vampires had the ability to father children. In Eclipse we learned that female vampires could not carry a child because their bodies don’t change. You could see what was coming. Everything tied in with Breaking Dawn, plots and twists were necessary for the story. If Edward would have changed Bella as promised, there would have been a battle with the wolves until only one person remained. Not much of a story there. By the way, Edward would pobably not have changed her on his own because he felt like he would destroy her soul. So the Volturi would come and kill Bella; again end of story because Edward would die also. Or perhaps they would change her into a vampire then the wolves come. Marriage was not the end for them, it was the beginning of eternity. SM had the courage to allow her characters to grow.

These books (twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn) are awesome!!!!!!
October 22, 2008 at 5:12 pm
I love Breaking Dawn it is so perfect i reread it all the time. Do not listen to anyone who downs this book the way it is written is amazing, I am one of the biggest Harry potter fans but these books are WAY better. You capture people without being corrupted by the fame. In short you are an amazing author do not be discouraged by the simple minded reader who dosen’t understand the deeper meanings and concepts within a fasinating tale.
October 24, 2008 at 1:38 pm
i havent made it to breaking dawn yet..but im getting there. and what i have read i have no complaints. i think the books are great. as far as im concerned..maybe the only people who dont like the book is a jacob fan and since edward and bella are in the spotlight..they were disappointed. but that the way it goes. TEAM EDWARD all the way!!!!
October 24, 2008 at 7:47 pm
I clearly do not know why people think that Breaking Dawn is disappointing. It is amazing! Maybe people don’t like it because they get married? Or they have a kid? It was coming anyway, you could so tell! They just grew up and are out of high school. If they stayed like that then i would agree that it is boring,but they didn’t! There might be some grammar problems but its still worth it to read it! PLEASE read Breaking Dawn! If you have and open mind you will love it!
October 26, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Hello! i’m fan of twilight and new moon. but really, eclipse is not in my fav books cause i hate bella swam, she’s so b**ch xD! she love edward, meanwhile she loves jake… uuhhh i hate her
for this, that happens in eclipse, i don’t wanna read breaking down. bella don’t deserve edward’s love and much lees, cullen family love
wathever xD really i love the 1st and 2nd book! it’s very good! and i wanna read too midnight sun! edward is cool xD
sayo!
October 26, 2008 at 8:32 pm
I’ve read Breaking Dawn, and I didn’t see anything wrong with it.
Poor Stephenie…
October 28, 2008 at 8:11 pm
I LOVE ALLLLLLLLLLLLL THE TWIGHTLIGHT BOOKS THEY ROCK!!
November 1, 2008 at 2:06 am
i love twilight n new moon very much. the story are so romantic. may be i’ll be like her other book too
November 3, 2008 at 2:08 am
I don’t understand hoe people could think that this book was a let down, for me personly i loved it to death i was to scared to finish it. i slove twilight the most but because that is were it all begain. new moon was also good you feel depresed when bella did and she described it so well. It made me feel like i was in love with Edward and the conflict or werewolves and vampires and how she fixes that and the voultri in Breaking dawn, he love for Edward and Renesmee was so strong she wouldn’t let anyone step in her way, not even the love she had for Jacob. I can’t wait to see the movie here in australia, It’s gonna rock.
November 3, 2008 at 9:31 am
Maybe it’s not like I thought it would be but it’s a goood book just there are many things that were said to be impossible in Twilight and the other books and now it happens? But I like it anyway.
November 8, 2008 at 1:39 pm
esperamos pronto la traduccion de sus nuevos libros al español, de toda latinoamerica
November 9, 2008 at 1:52 am
At first I didn’t really like BD, but then when I reread it a couple times I loved it. And if you say you don’t like it you have to admit that you like the first three chapters.
November 12, 2008 at 11:32 pm
i thought this book was brillant! please i suggest that you read the 3 books previous to this, if you do not you will not get the whole concept of this amazing story. i recomend these books to anyone who perfers not to read. all of my friends HATE books but just could not get enough of the twilight series! very excellent book’s.
THANK YOU MRS. MEYER!
sincerely, Whitney.

Needless to say, people have different opinions. But the real problem with this last book is how good and bad it was at the same time!
I enjoyed the story greatly, but even as i went along reading I was thinking “Hm, there are better ways to put that” or “wow, that was really cheesy and not though-out”. In other words, I easily realized the poor quality of the writing.
The other problem is all the “drooling”. Given the romantic nature of these books, it’s obvious that there are going to be some strong loving emotions throughout the book, and thats great! But the amount of pages filled up with down right obssesion from Bella over Edward is ridiculous.
I have nothing against the plot, though. It had interesting twists, yet credibility within the story.
I’d say this is a 2.5 star book. I say nice idea, nice concept, but work on those writing skills Mrs. Meyer!
November 21, 2008 at 1:33 am
I think Breaking Dawn was okay at the beginning, though it was very random (and fanficish) that they went to a random island for their honeymoon…when it got to book 2 w/ jacob’s perspective i just quit reading…then i skimmed it to get the summary and what the heck? it is so far fetched and stupid…they get married, have a baby, edward doesnt want it, bella gets sick, edward tells jacob to sleep with bella, jacob a 16 or 17 yr old imprints the INFANT of the girl he “loves”….what the heck???
this is what we would have been happy with….
they get married (longer and more detailed wedding though)
they have a great honeymoon somewhere not so random as Esme’s island….
bella is in danger somehow and edward risks his life to save her (something heroic/romantic like that)
edward turns bella into a vampire (which could have been a beautiful part of the book but instead it was just gross)
they live “happily ever after”
that would have been enough….she changed the personalities of the characters (edward is my favorite and she made him soooo different) kept jacob in the story (sorry but he annoys the crap out of me he needs to get a life!) put so many characters in the story i had no idea who she was talking about….and made waaaaayyy too many things happen waaaay too fast….it was a huge dissapointment….she should have just stopped after twilight if she was going to butcher the saga at the end
November 22, 2008 at 7:55 pm
you αre the bestest αuthor EVER!..i αm in grαde eight, αnd the whole clαss if OBSESSED with you αnd your books, our teacher mrs.fαrrell got us αll into it!
i hαve the WHOLE twilight series, αnd the host. So. keep writing, αnd hopfully, you’ll get Midnight Sun done..ill be crossing my fingers!
November 23, 2008 at 6:54 pm
i want to see twilight so badly but my mom can’t tak mii yet.
November 24, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Being the meticulous spelling Nazi that I am, the only thing that bothered me in ‘Breaking Dawn’ was the disgustingly frequent spelling errors. I caught a few in ‘Eclipse’, but I lost count in ‘Breaking Dawn’. It upset me; what are editors for?
Otherwise, I find it quite ridiculous to put all published authors of popular literature on this pedastal of perfection. Someone as young as Stephenie Meyer, especially, can’t be expected to have the best technique yet. She’s still writing. Give her time to grow. Jeez. Write a damn bnovel yourself if you want something perfect.
November 26, 2008 at 10:09 pm
WOW! Why do people think that this book is upsetting? It is an amazing book and for people who dont think so need to think again! Stephenie Meyer did a great job writing this series and she deserves some good comments! I have read the entire series and i think that it is perfect! There is nothing left to say! I agree that maybe Jacob’s story shouldnt have been in there, because personally i really think that Jacob is annoying and needs to get a life! (Even though i LOVE Taylor Lautner! He is really cute!) But if you think about it, Bella’s story wouldnt have much to it! There wouldnt be anything for her to talk about because she just sits there in pain while Renesmee is killing her from the inside! But besides that these books are great! I REALLY hope that Midnight Sun gets published! I cannot wait any longer!
Thankyou so much Stephenie Meyer! I love you and your books to death!
November 27, 2008 at 1:05 pm
I do not understand why this book is disappointing people! It is amazing! And if you dont think so then maybe you should think again! Stephenie Meyer has done an excellent job writing these book and she deserves some good comments! Besides the grammar problems it was great! So what if they got married and had a kid? They grew up! They are not in high school anymore! Live with it! Thats life!
THANKYOU STEPHENIE MEYER! I LOVE YOU AND YOUR BOOKS TO DEATH!

November 30, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Wow I really like how you wrote the books, described the characters’, and I really like how they made a movie too…. but i think the book is better then the move becouse they miss allot of sines and it didn’t really felt like it was 2 hours… but over all i think its really nice.. and i really wont to see more movies of your books…
“Breaking Dawn” isn’t bad
November 30, 2008 at 8:11 pm
i love “Edward”

December 4, 2008 at 9:34 am
i like the story and i really love the books.. I have already read the 4 novels.. it is more enjoyable to read than the HARRY POTTER Collections.. and I am waiting for the release of MIDNIGHT SUN..
December 4, 2008 at 8:57 pm
I am 62 years old and during the Thanksgiving holiday my granddaughters drug me, unwillingly, to see Twilight. I told them I am not into Vampires. They told me it was a love story. I came back with “isn’t love between vampires akin to honor among thieves? ” I ended up loving it and now am committed to seeing to next episodes in this saga! Who knew!?
December 5, 2008 at 10:37 pm
Hola, bueno yo soy de mexico y quiero decirte que tus 4 libros son unos de los mejores!
En realidad me gustan muchisimo!
Pero creo uqe la pelicula me queda a deber!

Felicidades!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE TWLIGHT EWARD IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE I WANT TO BE HIG GIRLFRIEND. HE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOT
December 10, 2008 at 8:43 pm
These books are so good! They are very enjoyable to read! I have already read the whole series like 5 times! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! It is amazing! People who dont think so will regret it later when Stephenie Meyer gets awards for these books! She already has, but you never know! She might get more!
Stephenie Meyer is AWSOME!!!! Please keep writing more books in the Twilight Series!
December 12, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Hi Stephenie. I’m a diligent reader of the Twilight series and I honestly think that you’ve created a beautiful master piece of a world so enchanting. Everyone makes mistakes with grammar,you’re still growing as an author,so just pay more attention to that,and the editors. I’m kinda sad that the series has drawn to a close, but it has been sensational. It has also inspired me to start writing my own book on vampires. Two types infact. I’ll admit that Breaking Dawn could’ve had a slightly different story line,a more detailed wedding,perhaps no child,more fighting with the Volturi, a trip to Volterra, Bella being in danger and her transformation being a romantic, beautiful process etc. However I’ll be waiting for Midnight Sun in anticipation! I’ve already bought the soundtrack to Twilight and now I’m eagerly awaiting the release of the movie Twilight in South Africa Dec 31 2008.
Thank you for an amazing read,that has captivated me and so many others world wide! A fan forever!
December 16, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Dear stephenie meyer,

December 22, 2008 at 3:21 pm
i loved eclipse and twilight. it was very well written and has many mnay fans. it even has its on clothing line (team edward, bella etc.)
i really wish ( hate to bring this up) that stephanie should publish midnight sun. i understand that a ex friend but her book online but why ruin every one elses hopes for thr bookk by not publishing it. i have not read it but i wish that stephanie will put it out and create a new book t o the series. i heard she was making a new book about renesmay (sp) and jacob and i hope that it is true <3
the movie wasnt to good but they are getting a new director so it can only get better.
i really hope that thoose of you who think that reading breaking dawn is a waste of timme change your mind this is a really great book and btw bella does not choose jacob over edward.
thank you stephanie for publishinh such an a mazing series i hope you will continue with it.
i also read stephainies book the host!!
December 25, 2008 at 4:40 pm
i mean…., what the hell is this lady thinking…, how dare she keep midnight sun umpublished 4 so long… u know what?
i think she should rewrite all the books from edward’s perspective
or have a fifht book published, continuing after breaking dawn
the story cant end just like THAT!!
December 27, 2008 at 6:15 pm
i love your books..
they are awesome..!!!
December 29, 2008 at 1:41 pm
WOW! stephanie your books are amazing and i am so glad you have this wonderful talent to write. Don’t listen to the idiots who are trying to put u down. You are a great writer and i’m crossing everything i have for you to finish midnight sun soon!!!

April 29, 2009 at 2:38 pm
You’re the saddest person I’ve ever seen online. If you don’t snap to reality you’re going to die loveless and alone, probably living with your parents, or try and go emo (even though you’re toonugly anyways) because the world’s done you wrong, because you don’t have friends, (because you’re ugly and obsessed with a fictional guy) and who knows, someone’ll die and your parents will get a divorce. (But it will be your fault, because they’re ashamed to have such an ugly, loser, failure of a daughter.)
That is all I can think of when I read your paragraph.
May 25, 2009 at 10:29 pm
Your a big bi!*h!!!!!! I hate you! go to He*l!!!!!!!!!! You are no where close to beautiful, infact an ugly person inside and out! You back the fu*k off!!!!!!! U will NOT murder me!!!! You have never met Rob Pattinson, even if you did he’d rather kiss a MAN, instead of you A**! That is how a Bi!*h pays back! Love you sooooo much stephani, sorry about this message, but someone had to talk some sense into this girl!
January 1, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Hi stephanie,YOU ROCK TO DEATH. Sorry about the little episode i have above me.I just had a REALLY rough day and I just REALLY like Edward Cullen ALOT as you can tell.I have two of your books Twilight and new moon.I am finishing up twilight right now so i will hopefully soon get started on new moon.You are really good at writing stories.I LOVE YOU! LUV the real mrs.cullen
January 3, 2009 at 7:43 am
uaha…i love breaking dawn bcoz dey liied happly ever after..,,but the royalty or the Volturi sucks bCoz they r so pakelamerzz!!
January 10, 2009 at 11:39 pm
your books were great i loved them really! when i read breaking dawn i was like wo0ow ! =D please continue writting!! ur books are great! please please please !!
January 11, 2009 at 2:18 am
Okay Hana, your so called “rough draft/disappointment littered with plot holes” sold millions of copies, gained hundreds of thousands of fans – myself included – and is going to be made into a movie.
And perhaps mine was a newer edition, but I didn’t find any spelling errors – and I am a professor of English.
And oh by the way, it was a #1 New York Times Bestseller. Remind me how rough drafts make it onto the NYT Bestseller list…? Oh right, they don’t.
You are entitled to your opinion, though, no matter how insignificant it may be in light of the success of the Twilight Saga.
January 11, 2009 at 2:45 pm
i love all the books and i now cant wait for the film to come out on DVD… i loove the ending in breaking dawn, they lived!! yay. i think stephenie should have brought out alot more books about bella and edward. i think nessie is sooo cute, people think that the imprinting buisness between nessie and jacob is weird, i think it is soo sweet! we should all have a soul mate, don’t you think…
January 12, 2009 at 1:14 am
i demand for books after Breaking Dawn. ill ask for more. Breaking Dawn isn’t the end. it must not. haha, i love the story. thnx stephenie..
January 13, 2009 at 5:09 pm
I have read twilight, new moon and eclipse but i am really annoyed with shops because whenever i see a shop and go in it’s always sold out! because it is so popular you would have thought they would have ordered more this is really irritating as i am not able to read one of my favorite book series.
By the way the other books are awesome cant wait to read em.
January 15, 2009 at 12:27 pm

I have no idea what is upsetting fans about Breaking Dawn because I have the whole set, and Breaking Dawn is really great.
March 5, 2009 at 2:58 pm
I Loved Breaking down Stephine I don’t see whats wrong with I!!!!!!
March 6, 2009 at 1:32 pm
I loved Breaking Dawn!
I thought it was the best of the whole series!
I don’t know why some people say it’s disapointing.
March 15, 2009 at 1:25 pm
I love all the books, they were awsome! I have read all of them loads of times, and every time I read ‘New Moon’ it makes my cry!
I don’t think there is anything wrong with ‘Breaking Dawn’ it is great! (the best out of the whole series!)- I have read it 10 times (or more!) lol XD
SO STUFF EVERYBODY THAT SAYS ‘BREAKING DAWN’ IS RUBBISH! lol XD
You are such a genius Stephenie Meyer!!!!!!!!!!
I really hope midnight sun comes out!- I want to be able to understand Edward a bit more! XD – With you all the way Edward! lol x
DON’T LET THOSE IDIOTS PUT YOU DOWN STEPHENIE! YOU ARE A GREAT WRITER! (you should-and I really hope you do- finish writing ‘Midnight Sun’ and other books to the series !!!)
March 15, 2009 at 5:44 pm
No, I thought that Breaking Dawn was pretty disappointing than the other 3 books.
March 18, 2009 at 2:08 am
I LOVE Breaking Dawn. I think it is the best book EVER!!!!:)
March 19, 2009 at 12:42 am
Thanks to my 2 girls i’m hooked. At first I didn’t understand what the fuss was about so I finally watched the movie…5 times in a row.Then I took my daughters book and started reading it. I ended up reading all four books in about 5 days pulling to all niters and two days off work. LOL BD was good my only complaint is I just still want more.
March 20, 2009 at 1:57 pm
I REALLY loved Twilight and Eclipse and I liked New Moon, but Breaking Dawn was just… it made me shiver when I think about it. I read the book quickly, not processing what I was reading. Then, when I was through, I realized how much of a dissappointment it was. How many characters, places, and personalities REALLY need to be produced? Why not just extend Eclipse a bit more and make them all vampire-y and married THEN? I LOVE Stephenie’s books, and I’m not saying I hate Breaking Dawn. But as compared to T, NM, and E, BD is like a bullet through the head. Anyone who hasn’t read T,NM, and E would LOVE BD, but ‘experienced’ Twilighters would all agree: BD= bombed.

April 23, 2009 at 1:18 pm
i want read the 5° book… wher is?????????
April 23, 2009 at 5:10 pm
I am 42 years old and loved the movie Twilight, it was so well scripted and the acting and characters really “sucked” us in, BUT, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn have truly disappointed me beyond belief. The story lines seemed rushed, there were twisted and warped scenes, and it was just bad writing all around. The movie was supposed to be a romance, about two people drawn like magnets to each other who could not be together, but wanted to be. New Moon was great, but the rest is a huge letdown. I feel there should be a Breaking Dawn book burning and we should all invite SM. There should have been an epic battle fought, with the Cullens and friends having a victory, and Bella should not have had an easy newborn vampire experience, or an alien baby sucking the life out of her and Edward should not have turned into a “yes dear” personality in love with an immature and spoiled Bella that the whole Cullen family worshiped, ugh! I am SO letdown and if you google this topic I am SO not alone! PS. Renesmee? Bella drove a beat up pickup truck, what would possess her to choose a cheesy name like that? Maybe Charly or Edwina but never Renesmee. SM, you need to know how your fans feel about your last two books in this sage, CHEATED!
April 25, 2009 at 5:08 pm
i ADMIT I liked the book in some ways, mostly because I’m a huge Bella and Edward fan, but I’m disappointed by all the plot holes in the book. I literally couldn’t finish the last 20 chapters because the plot started to sag. I just skipped to the last two chapters and called it a day. There were a ton of things that just randomly happened in this book with no explanation. Lik e the pregnancy, I liked it,but no explanation. Also, she said the legends of the Vampire children, why were they randomly put in this book, why couldn’t they have been mentioned in the previous books so that it could be valid foreshadowing!
Also- please don’t burn her book, just return it so she loses some money, because that’s the only way you can hurt her. Burning the book just wastes your money, and in this ecomomy who wants to do that!!!

Meyer’s books are so vivid, so intense. She created a whole new world with just her imagination. I started Twilight about a year and a half ago, and i couldn’t put it down. It’s so beautiful-the lion and the lamb falling in love. Shortly, i devoured the rest of the saga. Why do i like it? It’s so intense, so vivid, like you’re actually there. The Twilight Saga is creative and mysterious-opening up a whole new world to me.

Great! Outstanding! When I was watching it and when I was reading it, I felt I was there. I felt that “I am Bella Swan”
in every book that I have red, just two writers that can make me flow in their story, that are J.K Rowling and Stephenie Mayer. In the future, I will be the third. I will learn to be Stephenie Mayer.
Wish me luck!
btw, I am waiting for the 5th!

I just wanted to comment on the role of Jacob Black. Why is the part not played by a native guy? Actually, all the native roles should be played by native people, there are plenty native actors out there who should be actively looked for to fill all the roles. The next movie will involve the rez with Billy, Jacob Black and their family and friends..it will look funny and feel weird to see “not native” people playing the parts.

i love all the books!!!! my fav is breaking dawn!!! it all ends in a happily ever after which i was gald for!! i was very sad when i finished all the books!!!
i can’t wait till midnight sun comes out i really want to read it!!!!!! but anyway all the books were amazing and i have never read any books better than these!!!! I LOVE THE TWLIGHT SAGA!!!!!!!!

Alibel you should definetly read breaking dawn as it explains a lot to do with bella’s confused feelings between edward and jacob

Dear Stephenie,
I LOVE your books!!! I have some suggestions to make. I think you should make another book in the series, based on Renesmee and Jacob. In the end, how Edward and Bella said they would always be together for ever, it felt like a cliff-hanger ending…almost. I also believe that the beginning of book one should have been more exciting. My very good friend, who is a total fan of Three Days Grace (lol), said that it was SO BORING. Thus, she is not continuing the series. I am trying to convince her now to finish it. My favorite book was either the first or the last. It was so cute how Bella first saw Edward and his family at lunch. I love your Twilight saga.

I know I’m ridiculously late to this party but I had to throw in my .02. Love love loved Breaking Dawn. I love that these two characters were completely different than they were in Twilight, showing that they’ve matured and grown together. I loved the end and do not think a “happy ending” equates to a sell-out by any means. My one and only complaint about the amazing Stephenie Meyer is that I’m disappointed that she seems to be so over this series, while we’re all still hungry for more. I want to know what happens to Jacob and Renesmee after Renesmee is grown. I want to see what happens when Bella is reunited with her mother. I want to know more about Carlisle’s many years of being a vampire before turning Edward – and I definitely want to read the rest of Midnight Sun. I can only hope SM will find it in her heart to give us more at some point down the road.

hey stephenie my name is alual i live in prince albert I love ur these books twilight,new moon,eclipse,breaking dawn when i strating reading them i couldn’t put e’m down. thank u soo much hope u finish midnight sun please i would love to read it xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
July 30, 2009 at 10:40 pm
i really was crying out of joy when jacob told bella that he will stop trying and he will give in because originally jacob was never supposed to be in the story he was actually only supposed to tell bella about the quilete legends and the cold ones but the author kept him and look at how much damage he did to bella because he makes her choose between her and a guy everyone knows she will never leave its impossible but i personally love carlisle in all twilight stories for some reason i think he is special like a guide idk but when i saw jane being so nice and sayin that aro wasnt exaggerating & until next time carlisle i was like woah major attitude change didnt last time in italy she try to put bella in pain and did put edward in pain with her weird mind powers but i wish i got to know more about riley in eclipse what a pity isnt it..
August 11, 2009 at 1:13 pm
i too like jacob blake more than edward. Eclipse is definetly th€ best book, the part where jacob is in the tent with valery edward and bella is my fav part. I cant wait for midnight sun to get released. In break it down the best part was when nessy was born and of course when bella regains her full strenght and so valtorin had to “run away”. I hope there will be lots of books from stephanie meyer, because of her i started to write and to read more books <3. tyvm xxx

I want to ask something
you wrote the book because you actually think vampilere very beautiful and fascinating story of the same seems to be a real vampire existence of these books were written so as not to inanarakmı story must necessarily continue

Super kirjanik oled sa,need mõtted ja sõnastused ja üldse see kogu romantika mis kord muutub kurvaks ja siis samas jälle ilusaks,on lihtsalt super!:)Ja ma loodan igakord kui raamatu läbi loen et see kõik võiks mitte lõppeda vaid muudkui edasi ja edasi minna et saaks rohkem ja veel rohkem lugeda.Sest see on väga huvitav ja mõtlema panev!
Im Love it!

i’m very big fun of your books!!!!!!!i love the films too!!!!of course edwart is very beautiful and jacob too but edwart more……bella is cute….continue the books not the films because will be boring………
August 31, 2009 at 10:12 am
WOW!!! I LOVED ALL of the books. In the space of two weeks I read all 4 and I cannot see what the problem is with Breaking Dawn. It ties everything nicely together. After all, they grow up. That is what life is all about. It works for me! Yes, there are spelling errors. Yes, there are syntax errors, etc. etc. So what? It does not detract from the great story-line. I have total and utter Bella and Edward withdrawal at the moment…. I NEED MIDNIGHT SUN….. Please Stephenie..if you read this somehow, please…please…please… you cannot let Edward’s voice die…. PLEASE PUBLISH

I was really disappionted with all the books after a couple of my friends told me to read it, they sucked.
