I understand the next novel is about the beginning of the "brewing storm" in the lives of the protagonists. It's going to be called Breaking Wind. Supposedly, a large and spicy Mexican dinner figures into the plot.

I just finished Breaking Dawn last night. I was a bit disappointed in this book. The others I couldn't put down. This one took me awhile to get through. Over 700 pages that probably could have been 300. The ending was very predictable and boring. Well now I can move on to some of the other books mentioned in the Book Club forum.

From my sisters and female friends all around..

The first 2 books were really good. The 3rd came to a screeching halt (it appears the author was grasping at straw).

I'd say read it -- but don't have high expectations.

I actually really enjoyed the 1st and 3rd. The 2nd to me dragged a bit as it got us ready for the 3rd. The 3rd left us wanting the 4th..but again as I mentioned earlier. I was very disappointed in the 4th book.

My daughter showed up the other day with the first two books and said YOU HAVE TO READ THESE!

The thing is, my daughter does not enjoy books that much, as her tastes are very quirky: Hunter Thompson, Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting). Also, she is not a fast readers.

Yet she had finished the two books in a week! I was astonished when she told me that. So, I guess you guys knew what you were talking about after all.

Book one.
