Breaking Dawn - Likewise Book Reviews

"This one or the first one is definitely my favorite in the series. So many new developments! You can really sink your teeth into the story. "

"I Almost Want To Say This Was The Best But Definitely Needed More Sex"

"Another five-star review, of course. How could I possibly give it anything less? Love love loved it!!"

"A beautiful way to end the series"

"This last book blew me out of the water so much information in one place. It went to crazy places I didn't see coming. So many new characters to keep up and all with amazing powers and stories. This is more like 2 stories in one. It's hard to write this review without giving things away just so much happens. It starts with love, surprise, intimate despair, a change, war, families, the end. That's all I can do."

"My favorite of the series. I know it gets loads of hate but I liked how it all came together"

"The ending was so satisfying!"

"This one & the first one are still my favorites of the series ♥️ I really enjoyed my re-read"

"Loved it"

"In a word, camp"

"Great book!!! Do NOT watch the movie. It will ruin the greatness of the book with its subpar acting. "

"I loved this book almost as much as the first one, throughout the middle of the book I was just dying to get out of school and read the whole week, I did expect an epic battle at the end though and was a little disappointed there wasn't one."

"The book was good. I wasn't sure how they were going to gave the 2 POV's. I mean Bella is usually the main character. Then I saw the read the book and saw the movie(s). 2 movies for Breaking Dawn. I like how they did that. They HAD to do that. Bella died. Jacob did the 2nd POV, but in werewolf narration. That was interesting. I am glad there was no ultimate battle. Me and a guy literally shouted out loud in the theaters, "NOOOOOO!!!!!" when a character died. I kid you not. Vampire Bella scares me which I like of like, weird, right? Better than boring Bella. Twilight one she was she was new to the school so she was boring. Twilight 2, she found Jacob and Edward. Then the Cullens disappeared and she was depressed. Twilight 3, she has a love triangle with both boys. Actually all movies but even in that one, even in the tent. Anywho, scary cool Bella. She has powers. She had the shield powers all the time with Edward. He couldn't read her mind. Paramore had the song "Decode." "My thoughts you can't decode." I don't think any of the vampires but Alice can use her powers. Twilight one with the ballet studio and Twilight 2 with the cliff diving. I know I ramble. Thats all I can think of "

"Ugh that one was hard to pull through but I finally got around it! After all it’s not so bad as I expected it to be, though there were some interminable length to it that could and should’ve been cut off. The story would have been juste as good and detailed with 300 pages less in the book. My wrists would’ve appreciated. All in all it a 3/5 for me"

"Read this whole series and I honestly don’t get the hype. Bella is such a flat boring character who spends her time crying on the floor/pining over a man/ignoring said man after she has his kid and Edward is a creep whose only redeeming qualities are his money and the fact he’s a vampire 😒 If I could give it zero stars I would. "

"I liked the movies better "

"Stalking Jack the Ripper is good"

"Sexier than the rest of them ;)"

"Definitely read the series! So much better than the movies!"

"I love Stephenie Meyers writing. The storyline was so nice and mysterious."

"Beautiful story telling you can really picture what’s happening "

"Currently reading Liane Moriarity’s Apple Never Fall! Loving it so far "

"It was basically Bella and Edwards happy ending "

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Twilight the first book again! Love them!"

"I’m reading November 9 by Colleen Hoover "

"Finally slogged through all 4 Twilight books. First a word about allegations that the final book was shockingly gory and sexually provocative: this is a series about teenage vampires struggling against bloodlust, as well as the garden variety sexual kind. What's shocking is that the series is so gore and sex _free_. Yes, the leads finally get it on in book 4, but it's all very soft focus and mostly off-screen; no body parts are mentioned and Bella is apparently so overcome with passion that she blacks out, thus depriving us of the salacious details. Nor is the infamous vampire birth sequence anything to rival, say _Rosemary's Baby_.<br/><br/>No, for a story about soul-deprived blood drinkers, the Twilight series is chock full of cozy traditional values: Wait until marriage. Respect your parents. Stick up for your family. A fetus (even a monstrous human vampire hybrid that breaks your ribs from the inside) is a person deserving of protection. Marriage should last an (after) lifetime.<br/><br/>It's not a bad book. Meyer's descriptive abilities are keen; you feel the drizzly beauty of the Pacific Northwest and the heightened senses of a newborn vampire. She also has a knack for developing intriguing characters; the vampire siblings all have fascinating backstories, and melancholy wolf boy Jacob will break your heart. Alas, the 2 protagonists are the least interesting pair in the series and their puerile dialogue "I love you more!" "No, I love YOU more!" would surely drive their immortal friends screaming in search of a stake and some garlic."

"I thought I should read this book just to finish out the series since I had read the others, but I was very disappointed. I felt like it was way too predictable. It felt like the author was trying way to hard to make the ending the way she thought it should be instead of just letting it end. To me it seemed forced."

"@ellaanderson it's cliché but the wedding! The book has such amazing imagery, my imagination ran wild with it!"

"I like this book more than I like the first 3 before it. They’re all phenomenal, but Breaking Dawn is a highlight of the authenticity of the fantasy all together. 🩷 "

"Twilight series is a must read!!"

"Still love all these book! "

"Love the whole twilight series. Love the werewolf’s, vampires, drama and the love story"

"Very intriguing and has the drama I so desperately need to read. 😫🤌"

"In my opinion it is the best twilight book in the series . 10/10 would read again."

"Bella’s and Edwards wedding and the pregnancy "

"Yeah it is!"

"Demon baby pregnancy is not for me personally. Also I think Jacob deserved better."

"Vamps ❤️ if you don’t know by now, I don’t know what you’re doing. "

"ofc! make sure to read the others in the series first seeing as that’s the last book"

"For the past year of reading all the books, I’m so glad to have it all together in the end. I’m already so upset that I’ve gotten through it all. This series is one where you have to read the books first then the movies. The books are way better in my opinion. My favorite book ever #teamedward"

"My favorite part was the wedding"

"This was my favorite of the twilight series! It was packed with love, hope, suspense, and drama. I wish I could read it for the first time again!"

"It’s twilight, what more can I say"

"I find that seeing Bella transition into a vampire and watching her adapt to the new changes in her perspective was my favorite! As well as Bella becoming a mother, I also enjoy seeing her adapt to those changes too!"

"One of my favorite books "

"This was a longer book than the other three.....I did enjoy the storyline and it was fun to see Bella change.....I just felt that the book could have been shortened by a 1/3 and still been fine.....Stephanie Meyer has a tendancy to get a bit redundant with her writing....saying the same thing over and over again.....when once or twice would have been sufficient.....overall I did like the book and the struggles that happened and have become a HUGE Edward fan!..."

"I loved this"

"It’s a comfort book for sure! :) "

"I haven’t been read anything this summer so I’m planning on diving into the Court of Roses and Thorns series once I get my hands on it lol (super excited). But the last few I read were The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo which was very interesting and They Both Die at the End which had me in literal tears hahah. What about you? "

"The is the second worst book I have ever read. The first is Harry Potter and the Cursed Child which is the worst book to ever and will ever exist. But this is a close second."

"Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl"

"This review is about the whole "Twilight" series, as the books weren't interesting enough to separate.<br/><br/>I read the Twilight series over one weekend out of sheer curiosity. A lot of my "Harry Potter" friends were talking about it and my 13 year old cousin was raving about it. I find the series mildly entertaining, but that's all. Not great writing. My biggest problem with these books are the fact that the two main characters, Bella and Edward, are so annoying. Their love is so melodramatic and co-dependent. Bella is a weak female lead, and her near-suicide when her boyfriend leaves, is a terrible message for pre-teens. Edward is just as obnoxious - violent, jealous, and controlling at times - but teen girls tell me he's "perfect." It makes my skin crawl to think these are the gender and relationship messages being spoonfed to the tweens and they are eating it up. The secondary character of Jacob is slightly better developed, but he is also another male figure that constantly has to rescue Bella from her many idiotic scrapes. Overall, these books play greatly into stereotypical gender roles and glorify relationships that associate sex with violence."

"@sarahlong21 your welcome "

"Mine too!"

"Not at the moment"

"*The Cullens telling the town Bella is dead*<br/><br/>Mike: I told y'all he would murder her.<br/><br/><br/><br/>*I completely forgot I wrote this and it made me laugh my ass off. Yes, I am patting myself on the back*"

"I cant pick a favorite, but some of the books at the top of my list are, acotar, tog, kotlc, pjo, the infinite noise, the hunger games, and in deeper waters."

".5. Not even a full star. <br/>So, are we going to ignore the fact that Jacob was only “in love” with Bella because of the unborn child inside of her? Yeah, I don’t think so. That child—fetus, i should say—didn’t even exist when he first met her. And then he imprints on her baby! jACoB bLaCk iS a PeRvErT aNd DeSeRvEs PRiSoN!<br/>I also kinda really lost any interest I had in this book when Bella had her baby soooo...<br/>"

"Red white and royal blue"

"My favorite book in general is Bram Stoker's Dracula, but from the Twilight series it's New Moon :)"

"I just read an amazing book called Code Breaker and now I’m starting the Bridgington seris"

"So yeppers peppers"

"I just finished "in five years" it was okay, saw the end coming in the last 50 pages though"

"Great series #vampires "

"A nice conclusion to this series.<br/>Some things were not written as well as they could have been, but I was already expecting that. All in all, I enjoyed this.<br/>The first two thirds of the book don't have much action, but there is a lot of angst and fluff that Meyer ties in together pretty well. The last third of the book does include much more action, and many more characters that I wish Meyer had dove a little deeper into.<br/>Twilight fans will enjoy how this series concludes."

"Thank god this is the last book in the series. For as bad as the first 3 were, this one takes the cake for being absolutely terrible. It totally went of the reservation and made me hate the characters more than I already did, if that was even possible. If Bella would have died, the book would have been much better."

"No I loved the whole thing!"

"A court of thorns and roses is my current fav!"

"Me too!!!"

"This book is the best book on the planet you have to read it "

"Yes ! I’ve seen all the movies but I preferred the books ! You ?"

"First couple of reads: 5 stars<br/>Second read 2015: 5 stars<br/>Third read 2016:"

"★"

"My favorite of the Twilight series. I didn't want it to end."

"Once again..."

"Wow! <br/><br/>I'm giving this book an A+ for the "I didn't see THAT coming!" factor - maybe I should have, but I enjoyed the surprises and I enjoyed the two day escape into fantasy land. I'm glad it wasn't longer - I wouldn't have gotten any sleep this weekend or anything done today. <br/><br/>It reminded me a tad bit of Anne Rice with a Taltos flavor. I enjoy the characters in these stories, and the "PC" way some things are handled. And since our daughters are reading it, I really approve of the strong positive message about "family" in this time of blended families. <br/><br/>"

"2.5 ⭐️ (re-read)"

"I’m re-reading the A Court of Thorns and Roses series! It’s amazing! "

"Yessss "

"she Even has a gender bent version"

"Tbh is been so long since I've read it I need to read the whole series again! Lol"

"It's a silly read if you've read the others. Enjoyable, but not life changing (at least not for me)."

"It was almost a 4.5-5 stars but the last part of the book kinda lost me :/<br/>"

"Hasn’t aged well- but I loved it as a teen!"

"I think the strong connection between Jacob and Bella was something I really enjoyed. He was so starved for her affections and was finally afforded the opportunity to be very intimate with her. There was a moment of satisfaction for him and that made me smile. "

"this was so entertaining from start to finish. obviously it has many many plot holes and has a disappointing final battle etc etc but i cant find it in me to give a ****!! i love the characters and i love the story and i love twilight. here’s my 4/5 rating."

"Great story finale"

"It’s apart of a series! You should read twilight first. When I first read it I couldn’t "

"@debra_wolf Yes! The entire series is like that, you just want to keep reading to see what happens next, lol. I hope you get to read it. ☺️"

"I don’t really have one.. yet"

"Yes!! I just lovee the series! The booke are so much better than the movies!"

"Same!! The 1st in a series is always hard to beat!"

"Mostly liked the parts after she became a vampire."

"Ikr"

"Absolutely!"

"I haven't read it but all of my friends have. They LOVED it! You should totally read it!"

"One book I loved is unforgotten this book made me go through all my emotions"

"Honestly probably the first one, it was so well thought out. 😄"

"Me and my sister and our mom love breaking down the book is awesome "

"I love this series!"

"It really is! There’s a series of the collection, and this is the last book in the series. "

"your welcome just make sure you read the whole series"

"I think the books are indefinitely better than the movies. I think it is worth a try for sure"

"Breaking dawn is my favorite installment, after that it would be midnight sun :) I wish there was more insight on the Cullens!! What about you?"

"A touch of darkness by Scarlett st. Claire"

"I love the whole series but this was definitely the best one out of all four 💖"

"Currently I'm reading Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty, her books have been hit or miss for me so far. My favorite books are the twilight series and gone girl by Gillian Flynn. How about yours? I'm always looking for recommendations! "

"yeah! you should read them in order though."

"Ooh I’m ruining Midnight sun "

"I would definitely read the twilight series. The books are better than the movies. "

"All of them :-)"

"The crave series by Tracy Wolff"

"I audio read the black dagger brotherhood"

"this book was horrible to get through during Jacob's pov "

"I think it’s worth reading at least once!"

"Definitely!!!"

"If you're into mythical vampire love stories then the whole twilight series is worth the read. "

"It is. I've already read it a dozens time."

"i’m reading the 1st divergent book, it’s really good "

"I love A Court of Thorns and Roses series "

"I honestly think it could've been done a bit better, but still did a good job."

"I read this one when it came out years ago… I read a bit of everything but as far as paranormal books go some of my favorites are the Darkly sweet series, the coven elemental magic series, or depending on your age/triggers the shadow beast series."

"I think maybe ironically. The writing isn’t all that great and the story is… a story. But it’s so nostalgic and this generation really seems to hold onto that. So I think maybe it’ll turn into an ironic classic. Lol "

"i loved this whole series and i’ve gotta say this is my favorite of all of them. the movies, breaking dawn 1 and 2 are so good.#drama #romance #fantasy #action #vampires "

"Love- Th Host, A Fine Balance and The Language of Flowers. Anything by Jodi Picoult and most John Grisham and Nicholas Sparks! 😁♥️"

"Yes"

"Sorry this is late, not right I’m not. I am trying to find a good book"

"As long as you’ve read the first three, yes. It does wrap everything up"

"No problem "

"It’s been years since I have read, but I’d probably say when Bella was gathering items for her daughter and Jacob incase her and Edward didn’t make it. i.e. fake passports and such."

"Kinda like when Edward married Bella and when Bella turned into a vampire"

"I like anything by Natasha Preston. How about you?"

"Yes, it's totally worth it, and I haven't read this book before but at least you should give it a try! @serenabaker "

"Sorry Colleen Hoover, not Brown…"

"Funny story. I have never been into reading. I couldn't get into the stories. One day my friend recommended me reading this series. She gave me the first book. It sat on my shelf for weeks before I even tried to read it. Once I correct it open I couldn't stop. I read it in one weekend and on Monday told her I needed the second book. Because of the Twilight books I'm actually reading books now. "

"My all time favourite book is Memoirs of a Geisha. Most recently I read the Brent Weeks Night Angel trilogy and I was dazzled from start to finish!"

"I read Dracula for the first time this week and loved it! I also read Frankenstein and Candide and enjoyed those books too. "

"I think breaking dawn has to be my favorite from the series! "

"Yes! Soo good!"

"New moon was my favorite of all of them"

"no i don't atm i just recently started getting into books :)"

"There’s this paranormal book about the original vampire myth Vladimir and the main girl character can shot electricity from her right hand and she can see the past and sometimes the future. You better buckle up because it’s going to be one hot steamy ride🥵🥳🥰"

"I’m about to start the girl in the train :) "

"Hmmm currently “Think Like A Monk” by Jay Shetty! How about you?"

"Yes, it is worth the read."

"That comment was meant for you. 😜"

"I read the whole series years ago but loved them! Quick, easy reads. "

"Only thing I didn’t like was how fast the book was moving"

"It has been years since I've read this book but I think you should! I've always loved the series. "

"If you have read the other books in the series yes! "

"Yesss its so good you have to😍😍😍"

"#love "

"@dolphinchick book wise my favorite was Eclipse, movie wise breaking dawn "

"I would have to say the first one is also my favorite but the second one is a close second place!"

"Its nearly impossible to pick a favorite book out of the series, each book is what makes twilight TWILIGHT, but the first book will always have a special place in my heart."

"Alice has always been my favorite from this series"

"New Moon I would say! The struggle Bella has to face, loosing Edward and Jacob finding himself.. alot of growth in that movie."

"Definitely the first one, how the first met and the way he felt so protective of her was amazing"

"Yes, really good!!"

"I liked them all"

"<spoiler>First off...how do vampires have sex without having blood in their bodies? Because...isn't that an important part of sex? And just the thought of Edward having sex talks with Carlisle, Emmett and Jasper? Just makes me laugh so much. Also, the issue of sperm arises. She made it very clear they can't cry tears, but I believe she did mention Bella's mouth watering. Anyway, I figured they didn't have any bodily fluids...But then I remind myself not to try to make sense of all this.<br/><br/>I also figured Jacob & company weren't really "true" werewolves, since they could change at will. Since I'm talking about Jacob, that brings me to imprinting. Okay, so it was a bit weird when Quil imprinted on two-year-old Claire, but Jacob and Renesmee? Yeeeah. Not like I should expect anything less than wtf-worthy from Stephenie Meyer.</spoiler>"

"Eh. After reading the entire series, I think I liked The Host more than any of these books."
