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?!

Listen to the music of the moment.
Listen to this song and you will feel 56%* better than you did before you watched it. That's a pretty big jump considering it's only three minutes and forty-one seconds of your life.

Twilightical anticipation.
Okay.
I am saying this right now before I get any farther than the book sleeve and the opening acknowledgments of Breaking Dawn: I have high expectations for this book.
Which means I will inevitably be crushed because no book can possibly reach what I have conjured in my head.
Nonetheless, I am so far ecstatic with what I've read (instead of dedicating the book to her family or friends she dedicates it to her all time favourite band ever, Muse, which happens to be one of my all time favourite bands).
Though I'm already confused because apparently this is the conclusion?! Or so it says on the book sleeve... But she did say she way going to rewrite the first book from Edward's perspective which is going to AWESOME.
Oh, and this book is the biggest of the big. 750 pages, yum yum yum!
Since maybe two people read this far (and probably neither of them understand) I am going to end this abruptly now and will let you know how it goes when I'm done.
