Book reviews: Breaking Dawn, by Stephanie Meyer

by Pauline

Created on: March 05, 2009

"Breaking Dawn" is the concluding chapter of the teenage vampire saga "Twilight" which tells the forbidden love between vampire Edward Cullen and mortal Bella Swan, written by international best seller Stephenie Meyer. Will the couple finally find the happily ever after ending that they were looking for? Of course they did.

Bella and Edward are about to get married. Despite Bella's initial hesitation to the thought of getting married at the tender young age of eighteen, she concedes primarily because this is the only condition Edward has given her before consumating their relationship and turning her into a vampire. The wedding went smoothly, thanks to Edward's sister Alice who took care of all the wedding preparations.

Both Edward and Carlisle initially agreed to terminate the pregnancy. Bella was wasting away because of the baby, it was eating her alive. She sought the help of Edward's other sister, Rosalie, who was desperate to have a child of her own. They both protected the unborn baby, despite the damage it was doing to Bella's health. She soon gave birth to a beautiful daughter, whom she named Renesmee. However, Bella lost so much blood after giving birth and was already dying. Edward had no other choice but to turn her into a vampire.
