Okay I'm tired of waiting for my daughter to finish the book so I can start. I'm picking up my OWN copy tonight.

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.

So Iggy...did you finish this one in a day too? hahaha What chores didn't get done this time. Just teasing ya.

Pammy, I am a woman, I can multi-task. While the dishwasher, washing machine and dryer are doing their thing, I read.
I can also hold a book in one hand and push the vacuum with the other and still read the book. I read while I eat my lunch at work. I wish there was public transportation to and from work, because I could read then also.
It took me two days to read and finish it by the way. I also wish that when they release a new book in hardback that they would release it on CD. I so like to listen to them.

Breaking Dawn CDs are available for about $60. I got about 200 pages into the book and decided that I didn't want to read anymore. My sister assured me that I should continue with it. I am now almost finished and glad I stayed with it! :-)
