Esme is my favourite.

This is a response to Twilightical Anticipation. So if you didn't like that post, don't read this one.

I finished Breaking Dawn a couple days ago. I tried to make it last as long I could since it is the last novel in this saga (though Stephenie Meyer already announced a "reference" companion to the books, it will be all about the characters and out around the same time as the Twilight movie).

So. I have heard that sooo many people didn't like this book. AT ALL. And I can definitely see why that would be the case since it is unlike any of the other books. She kind of mangles the characters to make them fit into the end she wants. And a lot of people are seeing it as unrealistic.

Here is where I laugh because it is a book about vampires. I mean come on people, of course it's going to be far fetched. Were you expecting normalcy?

I actually enjoyed this book and it has taken it's place as the second best book in the Twilight saga (behind the original Twilight). I actually enjoyed how she resolved the conflicts set up in the previous books. And I don't think she mangled the characters but instead made them more complex, which I found fun (although just a little confusing).

One thing for people who haven't purchased and started the book yet but plan to: there is a little explain-the-vampire-covens guide in the back of the book DO NOT read it until the novel suggests you consult it around page 600ish I think.

Let me know when you guys have read it! And what you think! I promise not to rant about this stuff again until the movie comes out and I go see it like eight times. You'll come, si?!
