*SPOILERS* Breaking Dawn



Ok, there aren't a lot of spoilers in this, just a few. The thing is I am only to page 100. But, some things have been spoiled for me already and I really just want to rant about how much I am not liking this book.

First of all, I read all of the other three books in about 2 days each. I have had this one for 7 days and gotten only 100 pages in. That could be enough there, but I will not leave it.
When the book cover was released I was very disappointed. It just did nothing for me. I decided that I may like it after I read the book. Maybe it will make sense. Well, I don't know about that, but so far I still hate it.
So I start reading the book and was surprised at how quickly it jumps into the wedding and honeymoon. I really thought there would be some life threatening dilemma that would prevent it from happening right away. But, no things go a little too smoothly. Meyers seems to be in a rush to marry them off so we can finally get them in bed together. And no fan can blame her, I mean really, that's what most of us have been waiting for, right?
Then it happens and, wait...now they're waking up the next morning? Where were the good parts? Ok, I know it's a YA book, but people, there are way more gratuitous scenes in many YA books. I'm not asking for an erotic tale here, but there was more detail in the kissing scenes from the previous books than that. For crying out loud, give me something here.
The next part is when I really start getting irritated with the story. Suddenly she's starving, eating enough for two people. Like I don't know where this is going. And thank you Facebook, I find that my pregnancy suspicions are confirmed. Come on. The next day? Give me a break. Well, when she finally get him back in the sack, because he doesn't want to hurt her, we get no more details. Does Meyers not know how many women are longing to live vicariously through Bella? I admit, I am totally Team Jacob, but Edward is pretty darn hot.
This is where I have stopped reading. But again, thanks to Facebook, I begin wondering about Jacob. Werewolf pedophile? I know where this is going. And a friend confirms suspicions again.
*sigh*
I will keep trudging through. I can't not finish the series. I'm sorry Steph, it just isn't doing it for most people. I have been a great defender of her work, but this one falls way to short. If I change my mind when I'm done I'll let you know. Until then....

This book also really annoyed me, for the same reasons. Although I kind of liked the Jacob/Renesmee thing (but can you think of a more annoying name than Renesmee?). You probably mentioned it on FB, but did you ever finish it?
