Ah, where do I begin? I thought Meyer shouldn't have even written this book. She should have ended the third book differently and just let the story be. I'm sorry, but I can't buy that Edward can't shed a tear but can father a child. How in the world does that happen? Also, the whole honeymoon just seemed...weird.
I really disliked the fact that she got pregnant, and that the baby was killing her. Honestly, I wanted them to take the baby out of her and kill it. I couldn't believe they all just sat back and didn't do anything. And then, while I was hating the baby still, everyone loved the baby! And what was with the name? Renesmee? How do you even pronounce that? And then it just made me even more mad that Jacob imprinted on her. It just kept getting better and better, or worse and worse. Although I was very glad that Jacob wasn't in love with Bella anymore so she couldn't keep hurting him. That was one of the good things about this book.
At the end I was all geared up for a big fight and was disappointed. It was like there was this big build up to nothing. At least Bella was a lot less annoying once she was a vampire, but it seemed like as soon as she became immortal that she was all mature and wise and wasn't Bella anymore. Don't get me wrong, I liked the vampire Bella better, but I just thought the whole book was unnecessary.
P.S. I did like the end of this book more than the beginning. I was skeptical at first, but I'm glad Meyer ended the story the way she did (even if it was a little too much like a fairy tale). I have also heard that she may write a story focusing on Renesmee so that would be interested to read.

I actually liked "Breaking Dawn" better than I had anticipated, even though I agree with pretty much everything you said. I think it's because I had such low expectations and was NOT excited about Bella and Edward getting married and her turning into a vampire and I felt like things worked out better than I had hoped. It was a little to neatly packaged in my opinion and I very much agree about the lack of action at the end.
I agree with everything you said. I did like Bella better as a vampire, just because she was actually not such a wimp and whining about becoming a vampire so much. It bugged me that Jacob imprinted on the baby, whose name I will not write out since I am sure I will spell it wrong. I don't think I could read a book written about her. Every time I try to read her name, I stumble and have to reread it. It is exhausting! I acutally hadn't thought about the fact that he has no fluids in his body and he can produce a baby. Not much continuity there. And I didn't think there was enough action at the end, either. Sorry my thoughts are so random and all over the place. But at least you can say now that you read the series. And I am glad I am not the only one who felt this way about Twilight.
