So how are you guys enjoying it..? Every girl i've talked to is seriously let down over it. They all felt like the author was grasping at straws.. introducing to many obvious plot devices.. and in general that the book was a flop.

It's a shame -- they loved the other books.

my wife tells me that news on a romance blog is that there are lots of returns from people unhappy with it.

One can return a book once they have read it?

I have not started to read the book yet but my visiting teachers said that they heard that it wasn't as good as the other three either. My words are if something isn't broken don't fix it. I hope I am not disappointed.

I have also heard it is not as good...but I've heard that about movies that I really loved too. So I want to read it myself and decide.

I actually liked the book. It was not quite as good as the others, but still good.

I really liked Breaking Dawn. In my opinion it is just as good as the first two. It follows the plot with no "flash backs" or "recaps" to explain things.

Jean Aul did this in her last book. If you took out all of the flash back explanations the book would only be about 50 pages. I was so disgusted.

But Meyers kept the plot line going smoothly and all of her characters stayed true to form.

I have read a lot of comments stating that 'My Friend says it is bad', yada, yada, yada. NOT one of the comments said: 'I think this is bad' - big difference don't you think????

Berry, Pammy - read the book. I believe you both will enjoy it.
