Soap Opera-ish; Disappointing
I must admit that I was one of those screaming girls last night (early early early this morning!!!) who had to be one of the first in line to purchase (PRE-purchase!!) "Breaking Dawn". I wish I had gone to bed instead!
Being a new fan of the "Twilight" series (and loving EVERY page of Twilight, New Moon (even the part--parts--during which I cried), and Eclipse), I cannot find the words to convey how truly disappointed I was in Breaking Dawn. The plot--disappointing and frankly, a little disturbing and pat--the characters--dull and sorely one dimensional.
The book seems to retain only a little of Stephenie Meyer's voice--as if she was rushed by a deadline or some other force to complete this fourth installment.
Sadly, sadly for her fans....
