Breaking Dawn The Twilight Saga Book 4 Stephenie Meyer Books
I read this series a long time ago and I was reading it again for the 2nd time. I was ready to read the whole entirety of the book. To my dismay when I opened the file on kindle it said it was only 294 pages. I remember the book being massive and full of a lot of things. Upon further investigation, this kindle version has ONLY the Bella sections and according to a quick search the actual book is over 700 pages. Where can I find a kindle version of the complete book? and if that does not exist, how can I get my money back?Tags : Amazon.com: Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4) (9780316067928): Stephenie Meyer: Books,Stephenie Meyer,Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4),Little, Brown Books for Young Readers,031606792X,Fantasy - General,Romance - General,Social Themes - Dating & Sex,Marriage,Paranormal fiction,Supernatural,Supernatural;Fiction.,Vampires,Vampires;Fiction.,Washington (State),Werewolves,Werewolves;Fiction.,Children: Young Adult (Gr. 7-9),Fantasy & Magic,Fantasy & magical realism (Children's Teenage),Fiction,Fiction-Fantasy,Horror,JUVENILE,Juvenile Fiction,Juvenile Grades 7-9 Ages 12-14,Love & Romance,Monograph Series, any,TEEN'S FICTION FANTASY,United States,Vampires; Werewolves; Alliances; Life choices; Love; Romantic dilemmas; Relationships; Immortality; Love triangles,YOUNG ADULT FICTION,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Fantasy General,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Horror,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Paranormal, Occult & Supernatural,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Romance General,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Romance Paranormal,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Social Themes Dating & Sex,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Vampires,Young Adult FictionParanormal, Occult & Supernatural,Young Adult FictionRomance - Paranormal,Young Adult FictionSocial Themes - Dating & Sex,Young Adult FictionVampires,Fantasy & Magic,Horror,Love & Romance,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Fantasy General,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Horror,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Paranormal, Occult & Supernatural,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Romance General,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Romance Paranormal,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Social Themes Dating & Sex,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Vampires,Young Adult FictionParanormal, Occult & Supernatural,Young Adult FictionRomance - Paranormal,Young Adult FictionSocial Themes - Dating & Sex,Young Adult FictionVampires,Fiction,YOUNG ADULT FICTION,Children: Young Adult (Gr. 7-9),Fantasy & magical realism (Children's Teenage)
Breaking Dawn The Twilight Saga Book 4 Stephenie Meyer Books Reviews
Every single one of the books in this beloved series is absolutely stunning! This fourth and last one wraps everything up in a very satisfying way, while delivering a solid story in Meyer's signature style, which is so riveting, it continues to gain new fans for the series even though this edition of the last book was published in 2012. The last movie was shown in theaters in November of that year.
Edward and Bella's storybook wedding at the Cullen house, and their subsequent honeymoon on a lush tropical island off the coast of Brazil (Carlisle's gift to his wife, Esme), mark the very romantic beginning of the novel. Everything is deceptively peaceful....
Then Bella becomes pregnant, thus setting off the novel's central conflict, for the child grows very quickly, putting her life in danger. Edward and Jacob both want her to have an abortion. She refuses, enlisting Rosalie's help in keeping that from happening.
Of course I loved this novel! The details involved, Meyer's meticulous care to make sure all threads were neatly tied up in the end, are nothing short of masterful! As was apparent from the very first book, her characters are thoroughly fleshed-out, her settings beautifully described, and each event in the story seamlessly leads up to the next.
Bella finally comes into her own in this novel. All her clumsiness is gone; she is now as graceful as a gazelle. And, as a newborn vampire, she's also stronger than even Emmett, easily beating him in several arm-wrestling contests, much to his chagrin. Yet, she's still the Bella that all of us fans have come to know and love, who is heroically self-sacrificing, deeply cherishes her loved ones, and who now turns into a fierce protector of her unusually gifted daughter.
One of the things I especially admired in this novel was Meyer's depiction of a young woman who resolutely refuses to abort her baby, even though the pregnancy endangers her life. This is evidence of Meyer's very strong pro-life stance, with which I wholeheartedly agree. It's also beautiful to see how all the members of the Cullen family do everything in their power to make Bella comfortable during her unusual pregnancy.
In fact, the Saga's overarching theme is the sanctity of human life. The Cullens, just like the Quileute werewolves, are totally committed to protecting humans at any cost, each in their own way. Life is inextricably entangled with love, and this love is a living force that, in turn, makes life precious.
The setting of Forks -- which, in this book, is the only location in which all the action takes place -- is perfect for the unfolding drama. The lush, green forests, the meadows, the almost permanently cloudy skies....all form an appropriately turbulent backdrop for all the ensuing events in the novel. Furthermore, Forks is where it all began, in the first book, so this last novel brings everything full circle back again.
I think that Meyer's solution to the love triangle of Edward, Bella, and Jacob, which took central stage in the third novel, Eclipse, is absolutely brilliant. It's clear evidence of her inventive power, and ties things up very nicely. Some have criticized it as being a little creepy, but I totally disagree. Yes, it's unusual, and totally unexpected. But that's precisely why it's so very perfect. Also, it allows Jacob to go back to being Bella's best friend, which is what he was to her in Twilight, as well as at the beginning of New Moon, the second novel in the series. In other novels, such triangles have usually been resolved through the violent death of one of the people involved. In keeping with her overarching theme, Meyer has chosen a totally original resolution -- a non-violent one.
This was my third reading of the novel, and it surely won't be my last! All of these characters are now like family to me, and so, I feel very strongly tied to them. I love them all -- except for the evil Volturi, of course, although, as villains go, they are truly magnificently depicted. Thanks to Meyer's skillful, psychologically informed writing, I know them all so well -- their dreams, motivations, thoughts, feelings. I will always return to this book, as to the preceding three in the series, in order to become immersed once again in this lushly romantic, incredibly compelling story!
Sorry. This is a review of the audio book. I had to return it as soon as I started. I do not enjoy performance books and this borders on it. I like a properly read and narrated audio book, and not some version where the conversations are acted out without accompanying written text. The first two books are read properly, but the Eclipse and Breaking Dawn audio books use two voice actors and edit out that part of the narrative normally used to describe the nuances of the spoken voices. That's abridged, in my opinion.
I feel the best books of the twilight series are the last two, in between the two the conclusion is the best of the series. this is because in the last book of the series Bella is not so much of a blank slate as she was in the first two books. Where her obsession with Edward and his flawless face was annoying because it distracted from having any real meat to the story in the last two books we see her world expand. She becomes a much more sympathetic protagonist to a hero in the last book. We see traits of a personality come out that make her stronger and deeper. When this happens The Love Story actually becomes interesting rather than annoying.
It takes some patience for readers who are not 14 to 15 year old girls to get to the last books. The first two books are clearly aimed towards those age groups. For older young adults they would be a lot of cussing and much more sensuality.. For the most part it is a very clean book series with a chaste love it doesn't go beyond kissing for the first three books. In the last book the sensuality is increased slightly to the point that you know what is going on but there's no graphic description outside of metaphors and feelings. The series is still aim toward the younger crowd and really is more of a introduction for young readers in to the genre.
The ending of the book series feels somewhat appropriate for what it is. The series as a whole is not full of action or real danger. Everything that occurs that puts a protagonist into danger seems to come about through happenstance, accident, or misunderstanding. There's no real consistent or engaging antagonist to the series. For the majority of the story those that would be considered the antagonist make brief appearances that for the most part last a chapter or less. The danger happens and then it is over. This last book will promise a real rough and tumble ending but deliver something much more poignant if a bit less satisfying for readers of other genres.
Stephenie Meyer still makes it complex and interesting while ending her series on a strong note that makes me wish that she continued to write in this world. I have yet to read The Chemist but I have read The Host, her gender swap version of twilight, and of course The Short Life of Bree Tanner. I found that she has improved in her skill and her stories are much more engaging. In her gender swap story she managed to make the character that took the place of Bella who is named Beau into a more rounded character an interesting personality. The character of Edyth who took the place of Edward also felt more dangerous and complex. While in The Host she still had a love triangle at least it had a twist that made it interesting. It felt real and both the protagonist in the story we're so sympathetic that punch you right in the feels.
Why the twilight series may not be my cup of tea necessarily it is well written and so long as I acknowledge it for what it is and who the target audience actually was the story is quite enjoyable. it is a good story and series to read for those who want to expand their palate or just to come away with their own opinion about the series rather than hearing others. Stephenie Meyer's wanted to write a love story in the first book that was about the obsession of first love with some paranormal traits within it. It was targeted towards younger girls and was written to their level. As a series progressed Stephanie Meyers wrote the story to an increasingly more mature audience as the characters grew and the audience expanded.
I will say for writers or aspiring writers Stephanie Meyers does have a style that is very clear and draws the reader in. In the first two stories she did leave Bella as a blank slate making it easier for the reader to slip into her shoes but also making the character more of an outline than an actual person. Depending upon the genre and the audience this can work and it's interesting to see even if it's not necessarily enjoyed.
I read this series a long time ago and I was reading it again for the 2nd time. I was ready to read the whole entirety of the book. To my dismay when I opened the file on kindle it said it was only 294 pages. I remember the book being massive and full of a lot of things. Upon further investigation, this kindle version has ONLY the Bella sections and according to a quick search the actual book is over 700 pages. Where can I find a kindle version of the complete book? and if that does not exist, how can I get my money back?
