Breaking Dawn

I started this book on Monday and finished it today. I'll be glad to have my life back! Not that I totally got absorbed into the book like I would have liked to have. I mean, I would have read it in less time, except Jake HATES me reading these in front of him (or any book really, when he's around he likes my attention) and I have two little boys with me all day that are basically the same- so I read whenever I could- and only did the basics around the house (I have some cleaning to catch up on).

I really liked the book- in fact it was my favorite of the four. Now if you haven't read it beware- because some spoilers follow.

I liked it because I was worried I'd be reading 750+ pages of is Bella going to REALLY marry Edward, and will she REALLY become and immortal vampire- and frankly, while I've enjoyed the series I didn't know if I could handle so much more of the same... so I was pleasantly surprised that she started off the book with a wedding right at first. I thought the plot was great. I unlike most readers who's reviews I've read DIDN'T see the pregnancy coming, but DID see Jacob's imprinting (once we found out about the pregnancy).

There were things that bugged me of course... but mostly I was able to overlook them.

I didn't think Jacob's voice came through quite as I'd imagined- but I loved his "book".

I REALLY liked the new Bella. Much stronger, and less annoying.

I even liked the ending- it was perhaps too much of a "happy ending" and so might not make as good of a movie- but it was what I WANTED to happen.

I won't go on and on.... but I just had to briefly write about it since it DID take up many of my hours this week!
