Finished!

I just finished reading 'Breaking Dawn' , the last book of the 'Twilight' series by Stephanie Meyer and I LOVED IT!! I borrowed it from my sister Nancy and had it for 2 days before I opened it up and started reading, not because I didn't want to read it, but I knew my life would be put on hold until I finished it. Saturday night Ryan picked it up and was going to start reading it, and I quickly stopped him. He was NOT going to read it before me! Ha! So I started reading that night and couldn't put it down. I have to say that I loved the first book, was ok witht the 2nd book, wasn't in love with the third, and a bit worried about how this would end up. But I was not disappointed with the 4th. Now I'm going to tell you what I liked about this book, so if you haven't read it yet- or finished it- stop reading now- or I'll ruin it for you.........

I am so glad that Bella finally turned into a vampire. Ryan and I have wanted this to happen since the first book. And I know there is a big debate between Edward and Jacob- but I've been rooting for Edward the whole time. Here's my reasons- 1. In the first book she made it so clear that it was true love. 2. Jacob is immature and selfish. Edward always did what was best for Bella and truly sacrificed for her. All Jacob did was try to get her to leave Edward. 3. Vampires are way cooler than werewolves!!

Also, you have to take into account that this is a FANTASY book. It's not real, no matter how much you think it is- so Bella 'giving up her mortality' has really nothing to do with it- it's all about love. And I believe that if you find that true love in your life- you would do anything to be with that person forever. (For those of us who are LDS- we believe that it's possible to be with some one for eternity- so why not?)

As for this book I liked that she told part of the story from Jacobs point of view. I didnt like it at first, but began to understand things in a different way. It made me really mad at Bella for being a dumb girl- but that was probably the point. I liked that for once Edward and Jacob were on the same page and Bella was the one on the outside.

I thought it was CRAZY that Jacob imprinted on Renesmee (by the way what kind of name is that! And how the heck do you say it!). Didnt see that one coming. I knew he'd have to imprint on someone before the book ended, but that was a surprise.

I loved the love story between Edward and Bella in this one. It seemed their relationship was a lot more mature in this book. I thought Stephanie did a great job with the physical intimacy of their relationship. They were married, she didnt go into detail, and showed what a bonding, beautiful thing intimacy is in a marriage. I thought they had a great husband/wife relationship. They both loved eachother enough to do anything to save eachother, and could tell what the other wanted or was thinking without knowing. They worked together, protected eachother, diagreed with eachother and had to take care of a child together.

Well I could go on and on about this book, but I won't. I'd be surprised if anyone reads through all this nonsence in the first place! But I loved it!
