review : breaking dawn

i'd have to say i wasn't disappointed by the final chapter of the twilight saga - in a way, it was a fitting conclusion and most of what i have been hoping for had closure.  i was thinking though that there were some parts of the book that felt like it was being stretched out particularly at the beginning.  i was happy to see that bella was no longer the wimpy, hapless girl she always seemed to be the first 3 books.  i'm happy that the edward-bella-jacob story was laid to rest.  c'mon, was there anyone seriously rooting for bella & jacob to end up together.  it was bella-edward all the way.  that was the whole point of book 1 (twilight) wasn't it?  to condition us to the whole "meant to be together" forever for bella & edward crap.  i would have settled for a climactic battle scene but the confrontation towards the end sort of left a little more to be desired for.  i almost feel bad that i don't have anything more to read tomorrow since i've been reading the books one after the other for the past four days.  i think the "sweet valley high" feel of the book stopped at the third book and the fourth book was darker and more serious than the rest.  it would be thrilling to see it the big screen but i bet we'll have to wait six or more years to find out.
