"Breaking Dawn" by Stephenie Meyer
I'm sorry to say but I was very disappointed with Stephenie Meyer's book, Breaking Dawn which came out August 2nd (yesterday).
I didn't even finish the whole book. I dumped it right when I knew I was uninterested - it wasn't worth my pushing myself to read it to think it would get any better.
Why does this always happen? I cannot understand...all these good books turn out to be flukes once they reach the end of the series.
One of the problems with the book is that it was hard-to-follow and disjointed in some areas. One minute it was following one character the next it was following someone else. The little "surprises" did nothing to make the story more interesting - actually it sounded as if we sped through five more chapters that I never had a chance to read.
Secondly, it was boring. Very boring and slow and the climax was on "low". It wasn't speeding up. It was actually very predictable (which made it less enjoyable for me).
Thirdly, it sounded more like a pumped-up children's book. 5th grade dialogue with 8th grade plus subjects. Not good. Never works. Never will. If you're making a book for a young adult then make it sound like a young adult book, and this is I mean the way it is written. I like a little challenge when I read. It makes it more interesting, y'know?
I give this book a 0/10. I am just going to be honest this was a fluke. Some may differ in their opinions but I am looking for a real story. Not something that's been recycled 10,000,000,000 times. And this is not something based of what the book is about. Just the way this book was written did not appeal to me. It sounded rushed. Stephenie's first two books (Eclipse was kind of weak for me) had that "different" feel to them but as the storyline progressed it didn't do so well.
If you like this story then that's fine. But unless you've read Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse you may be a little lost. Oh well, I'll just have to find a new author!
