Cons: Bella is so darn whiny. Entirely too long and slow in place.

Pros: I finally like Bella!
Cons: Alice and Edward lose their personality, story goes a few hundred pages too long

Pros: satisfying conclusion, Seth Clearwater, literary alchemy
Cons: some gruesome scenes, a couple elements that turned many off

Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final installment in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series, hit shelves in the summer of 2008, just about a year after the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. ...

Pros: Engaging, fascinating read that ends the saga brilliantly
Cons: It's over?!

Ooh, how to write this without giving anything away. Ok, first of all, I'm assuming you've read the previous three novels in this series, so if you have not, there may be some spoilers, but I won't give anything away from this most recent and final book ...

Pros: Mostly entertaining book with returning characters.  Bella not as annoying.
Cons: Few things will upset some readers.

When I finally picked up Twilight by Stephenie Meyer in the fall of 2008, I did enjoy the book though I didn't think it was as great as many other people claimed.  It did take ...

Pros: ties up all the loose ends while leaving the story open
Cons: too neat, borrows too much from Anne Rice

I came late to Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series, so I missed the furor, but was able to read all four books back-to-back. While not necessarily the intent of an author, reading a series in order without stopping allows for more comparisons ...

Pros: Jacob gets to tell story, not as much whining from Bella, more action
Cons: childish antics by some and whining

Like most people I have mixed feelings about the last novel in the Twilight series. The jumps, changes in person (from first to third), and oddities leave me to ponder the answer to the conclusion Stephanie Meyer came up with. In the ...

Pros: This book had me reading non-stop!
Cons: Nothing

Breaking Dawn (published in 2008) is the fourth and last book in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga.  I will say that after reading the previous three books, Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse, this is my ...

Pros: Edward and Bella live happily ever after...
Cons: ...the book makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.  The entire story is a "con" (read review).

Spoiler Warning: This review reveals major details about the book's plotI read all of Stephenie Meyers's Twilight books within a span of about a week last summer.  The series, as  a whole, was fairly inconsistent- the ...

Pros: Jacob
Cons: Stuck in Bella's head, Awful writing, Too repetitive, Slow start, Predictable

If you haven't read my previous Twilight series reviews, it may benefit you to read them so you know where I stand with this series.As with all of the other Twilight books, I didn't enjoy this one. However, this fourth and final installment in ...

Pros: A resolution to the Twilight Saga (well, sort of)
Cons: Sex-obsessed, violent, implausible, and overly long

In Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga, Isabella (Bella) Swan is caught in a supernatural love triangle between the dazzling vampire Edward Cullen and Quileute werewolf Jacob Black. In Twilight, Bella met and fell in love with Edward, and throughout the ...

Pros: Jacob, lively book compaired to past two, the gothic feel of the middle

Cons: lots of sex (not suitable for young adults)

Pros: Last book; Didn't have to buy it
Cons: Too many to name

First, one needs to catch their breath instead of going on a screaming fit about how much wasted time was used to read this book. Diehard fans of the series will love whatever comes from Meyer’s pen. With every page that was turned, one could not think ...

Pros: Considerable length, inclusion of interesting characters.
Cons: Amateur story lines and clumsy phrasing

I read the first three books online in place of doing an assignment (I am exceptional at procrastination). While reading each of these I was struck by how unbelievably like fan fiction the books seemed to be - not just because of the black words on a ...
