Luckily, Elizabeth Hand is more mature than me and summed up the series, along with a review of Breaking Dawn in The Washington Post. Warning...it contains spoilers, so don't read her review if you want to suffer through the torture of reading Breaking Dawn on your own. I wholeheartedly agree with her, especially when she says, "The most devoted readers will no doubt try to make excuses for this botched novel, but Meyer has put a stake through the heart of her own beloved creation."
Alright, devoted readers. What's your excuse?
Thank you thank you for that link. Now I know I won't be reading the books....
ReplyDeleteI stumbled onto your blog whilst looking for what other people thought of the book. I did review it on mine - it took a while because I couldn't think of anything nice to say either but people kept asking because I'd been so excited for the book.
ReplyDeleteYuck. Wretched book.
You're most welcome, Rebecca. It was a terrible disappointment.
ReplyDeleteLaura,
I just read your review and agree with all of your points. Wretched, indeed.
Phew! I was surprised by how many people came out to tell me they liked it. I'm sad I can't think of anything I liked...
ReplyDeleteDid you read The Host?
