'BREAKING DAWN': HOW DOES STEPHENIE FEEL ABOUT THE CONTROVERSY?

‘BREAKING DAWN’: HOW DOES STEPHENIE FEEL ABOUT THE CONTROVERSY?



Q. How do you feel about the Breaking Dawn controversy?

A. It’s a hard thing to have people unhappy with you, but there’s nothing I can do. Either Breaking Dawn entertains you or it doesn’t. If I could go back in time, knowing everything I know right now, and write the whole series again, I would write exactly the same story. (The writing would be better, though—practice makes perfect.) This is the story I wanted to write, and I love Breaking Dawn. It’s everything I wanted in the last novel of my saga. People’s reactions don’t change that.

  1. Joan responded:

    I LOOOOOVE BREAKING DAWN!!
    WHO DOESN’T?? I DON’T SEE WHAT ALL THE COMOTION IS ABOUT.. BREAKING DAWN IS VERY ENTERTAINING, UNLIKE ECLIPSE..

  2. Michelle responded:

    What did you think of Breaking Dawn? Was it the ending to the saga that you had wished for? All the books are my favorites but this part of the saga is the fulfillment of Edward and Bella’s love story. I love it and would not change anything.

    How did you feel about the controversy that surrounded the book? Do you feel that some of it was unfair to Stephenie? I think it was unfair, although people are entitled to their opinions, it is Stephanie’s book and story to tell.

  3. TwiMom817 responded:

    Breaking Dawn was my favorite of the books so I guess you can say yes I think it was a great ending to the saga.

    I feel it was unfair to Stephanie the controversy. I believe she had that because so many young teens read the book. But people have to realize that the book progressed the right way and not just teens were reading the series.

    If you feel that your child is too young than they don’t need to read it.

  4. Jackie responded:

    Breaking Dawn was perfect. It was original, unexpected and intense. Stephenie couldn’t have written a better ending, in my opinion.

  5. katieg responded:

    loved breaking dawn…just needed more volutri action. i thought the obsession would end last fall, but it has & like many am eager to see new moon. we thank you stephenie meyers for bringing us edward & bella. go pattinson & stewart-this nc mom thinks you both are great & wishing you the very best in life.

  6. jtrs98 responded:

    Breaking Dawn I believe is the crown jewel of the saga…
    The progression was beautifully written and I wouldn’t change a single thing about it. The controversy is unfortunate but it was Stephanie’s story to tell…I believe she did a phenominal job on the whole thing.

  7. Chris responded:

    One thing she said made sense, she never intended the books to do so well or get read by anyone but herself. So all in all if some people aren’t happy with Breaking Dawn that’s just the way the ball bounces.

    I think I lucked out - I didn’t read the books until this year. I didn’t have to wait in-between release dates and I only knew about the books because of the Trailer for the movie in 2008.

    Breaking Dawn is a weird book. And personally it took some turns that I didn’t expect and so it didn’t sit right and I still don’t know if it does (reading the series for the 3rd time and on Eclipe) but maybe the 3rd time through will settle in. The book is realistic as far as “life just doesn’t always go the way you want it to”. And some questions get left unanswered. That’s reality. I wanted Bella to have both Edward and Jacob and tried to figure out how this could work morally or if I could accept it immorally. hahahahaha… Jake would’ve taken her vampire or not.

    At the moment I’m very PRO Jake. And a friend actually called me a traitor today when I told him that. =)

    Stephenie: Wherever you are, Thank You from my soul for all 4 books that have been my dearest and deepest friends in 2009. *MWAH*

  8. Nic responded:

    I personally loved it. But, I was sad to say good-bye to the characters that we know and love! I wish there were one more book! I just want to know how Renessme does and if the Cullen’s stay in Forks. Oh well, maybe I’ll live…lol!

  9. gc responded:

    to say that you dont like bd is like saying you just dont like the saga! its there story and its great i had soo much fun! i liked it a lot!!!

  10. Melissa responded:

    In an earlier interview, when asked if she would change the ending with the non-actional volturri confrontation, Stephanie said that she believed there could not have been a “battle” without deaths on both sides. It would have been too graphic and too sad of an ending. I think she’s right! The confrontation was intense even without death and destruction.

  11. twilighter13 responded:

    I think that Breaking Dawn was great so I dont know why other are making such a bigg deal. But i kind of wish she continued the series with Bella and Edward well really with the whole cullen clan.

  12. Kate responded:

    on one hand hand, i did wish at the end, there was an actual fight between them and the volturi, sorta having a little more action, but on the other hand, if that had happened, SOMEONE would have had to die, and even though people were upset with how it ended, they have to understand that to make it erupt into a major fight at the end, someone (or some people) would have had to die, and i think fans would have been more upset about that, because everyone has a favorite character, and what makes this series so unique is that EVERY character is loved by someone, would we be happy as fans if the major fight had happened, turning into a totally epic battle, but then esme had died? or emmett? what about if rosalie died? or carlisle? or even edward and bella (who presumably would have died had there been an actual fight because alice’s vision showed that they both WOULD HAVE DIED had the fight occurred), so the controversy is pointless, because you can’t please everyone, there’s always going to be someone upset with an ending to a popular series no matter how it’s written, i personally believe it was a fantastic ending!!! props to stephenie :)

  13. Carol responded:

    I loved Breaking Dawn and it is exactly how it should be, how Stephanie wrote it. It was HER storing and I am truly greatful she chose to put pen to paper and share it with us!

    I will admit the last two pages left me wanting but I see that as another gift Stephanie gave us…the chance for us to imagine what happens next.

    Thank you Stephanie!!!!!

  14. LeslieGrace responded:

    I love Eclipse, Joan, but I can see where the push and pull of Bella could be annoying. However I LOVE LOVE LOVE Breaking Dawn! I think it was a great way to end the stories. I would love the story to continue but I can understand where a break was needed! I think that if Stephenie continued the stories she would have more of a following than ever before! That would be awesome!!

  15. LeslieGrace responded:

    OH and I agree with Stephenie that Breaking Dawn should be made into 2 movies. Because I would love to see the movie done right and for that to happen you would have to separate it somehow. Like possibly before and then after the pregnancy or something! That’s just my thoughts on it anyways.

  16. Helen responded:

    I hated Breaking Dawn.
    I really wanted to enjoy it, I wanted it to grip me like all the other books had, but I just felt as though it was very rushed. Everything that happened at th end of Eclipse and throughout BD was so convenient for all the characters.
    Strange how Bella just happened to have the exact power to compliment everyone else, the exact power they needed.
    And the being able to let Edward into her head at the end… ugh.
    I hated the Renesmee part of the whole story. If nothing EVER changes for vampires… then how did Edward manage to spawn a child?!
    I love The Twilight Saga, but just wish Breaking Dawn was better. Better written, had better plots and events, and wasnt so damn convenient.

  17. taylor responded:

    i think breaking dawn was simply amazing and i think it gave me want i wanted. i knew that the story would end soon enough and im glad the way it played out. im happy its being made into film, no matter what anyone says about the rating or anything for the film with all the ..sex, blood and stuff like that but it’ll be good because the book will come to life

  18. Sarah responded:

    I loved BD, it was my 2nd favorite book of the series. I wouldn’t change anything about it. I don’t understand the controversy. I don’t get what is so bad about having Renesme, I love that character. I hope they green light the BD movie and don’t change it too much from the book.

  19. teri responded:

    I thought Breaking Dawn was amazing. It showed us things we never got to see in the rest of the series. We saw how Bella changed everyone in the Cullen family. Even Rosalie changed because of Bella. All in more positive ways. I am a firm believer that the most poetic scene she ever wrote was in the description of Jacob imprinting. It was perfect. Also I don’t get all the Renesmee hatred out there. She’s a pretty cool character and is a very interesting mix of both her parents. Alot of people are like “she’s a mary sue” well we didn’t exactly delve too deep into her personality or her own thoughts aside from what she showed. So I don’t think we could really say she’s a mary sue when she’s just a lil baby and has so much to learn and grow as she gets older and that’s stuff we haven’t gotten to see.

    The Volturi stuff. I think that was great. Yeah it was a lot of build up and such but also it was from Bella’s POV so of course she always thinks the worst is going to happen (with her luck in the past she’s not wrong to). But of course she doesn’t see herself clearly to see how strong of a protector she’s become. Personally I really cannot wait for them to do a movie of BD and watch Michael Sheen get scared of lil Kristen Stewart. Because that’s why there was no fight. Aro was too afraid of how Bella’s ability gave them the upperhand over the Volturi and Aro would never embark on a dangerous fight if he wasn’t assured of a win.

    Also Jacob’s book was by far my favorite, the chapter titles, the snark, the dog bowl! Come on comedic gold in there! Also the pack mind and Jacob finally accepting his birthright was pretty damn awesome.

    Okay *rant over* lol.

  20. Ermie responded:

    Site busy so I do not know if this reached you???? Trying again.
    I truly loved Breaking Dawn. It was torture to put it down to clean or cook. I think they should make a 3 hour movie out of it. At first I thought two movies but the wait would kill me. What is not to like? Stephenie did a fantastic job. It was a great ending. My huge problem is I DID NOT WANT IT TO END!!! The controversy is UNFAIR,after all it is her story! Great interview by the way.

  21. Rebecca responded:

    Breaking dawn is my favourite out of the series,because i love the action and how you get to see into jacobs mind for awhile and everybody had their happy ending.i would’nt like it any other way it is just perfect its so perfect it is beyond words i think it is the perfect ending.

    p.s im the number 1 irish twilight fan
    why cant they come over here there is loads of fans believe me XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cant wait for new moon in november im going to be crying.

  22. Ermie responded:

    A Quick Back Again. I really like what Teri had to say.
    Another thought….
    I get completely choked up when on page 273 Edward leans his head against Jacob’s shoulder where he’d placed Renesmee (love her name)
    (Jacob in his wolf form)and said “Goodbye, Jacob, my brother…my son.” I love the way they grew in love and respect.

  23. Chris responded:

    Aww Rebecca - I hope they do come over. =) I’m in the U.S. but have a “thing” for Ireland (England/Scotland). So I’m pulling for you and hope they make it over!!

    I too hope they split BD into 2 movies OR just bust out a 6 hour movie. I’ll sit there (with a quick bathroom break)! I Will, I Will!

    Oh and wouldn’t it be lovely if Stephenie decided to finish “Midnight Sun”? Doesn’t the name just roll off your lips? “Oh Edward…”

  24. robin responded:

    breaking dawn was very good, i loved that she was able to give a reason for bella and jacobs attraction being so deep and going no where, but it would be cool to have a continuation of jacob and renesemee. …..
    if people don’t like the way the book is then they should write a book of their own, it’s harder than one might think. so good job and kudo’s to stephenie.

  25. kelly responded:

    I loved Breaking Dawn. I wish also there was another. I am reading the books again for the second time and I will probably turn around and read them again. I have never read a book twice before let alone three times. I loved the whole saga. I wish Stephenie would finish Midnight Sun!! I am so looking forward to New Moon. I agree with Ermie, the movie should be at least three hrs. long!

  26. Marianne responded:

    I started reading Twilight and New Moon just before Eclipse came out. Eclipse is my favorite of the 4 books. When Breaking Dawn came out it was highly anticipated and I couldn’t wait to read it and see how everything turned out. I read it in 2 days, and then the controversy started. I felt bad for Steph. some of the comments were brutal. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion but come on, they were nasty.
    I liked the book because I really wanted a happy ending, for Edward. I know it was Bella”s story but she put him through a lot especially in Eclipse. I really hated her and Jake in parts of that book. Edward put up with so much from her and he was willing to give up everything for her even in the last book. As you can tell I’m a big Edward fan.
    Anyway, they all got their happy ever after, I got my AAAWWW, and an
    addiction to the Twilight Saga.

  27. twilightmama responded:

    I love Breaking Dawn. The only thing I would change about the book would be to reduce the Jacob storyline. I did, however, love how this book tied up the saga- it ended very well. What is better than Bella finding her new life perfect? Knowing that the physical was as strong as the emotional (without eclipsing it…), seeing how well she did in the new life compared to other newborns, as well as how much more healthy the relationship is between Bella and Edward at the end?

    Controversy is everywhere. If people can’t deal with a difference of opinions then they need to go back to grade school. I think Stephenie has handled this exactly as she should.

  28. Tammy responded:

    I don’t know why there would be a controversy at all. The book was absolutely AMAZING! It was my by far my favorite! I was a late comer to the story. When I bought the first book I finished it within 24 hours and then had the rest of the series read in the following three days. I have since read BD 4 additional times. I was sad at the end only because it was over and I would have liked a few more chapters, but all good things must come to an end. I just hope that they make the movies longer to include more of the book…I think these die hard fans wouldn’t have a problem sitting through a 3 hour movie! I know I wouldn’t! Thanks to Stephenie for writing an amazing story and sharing it with the rest of us!

  29. Tausha responded:

    I must admit, I wasn’t to fond of having to be in Jake’s mind, but the story was very good.

    As for the ending, it wasn’t how I wanted it to end, but I knew it would never end the way I wanted. It’s not up to me, it’s up to SM. If I had it my way, Bella would have left Edward, she would have forgotten about Jake, and she would be with someone else. I’m not going to say who though :P

    But over all, I did like the book, and the ending.

  30. Miranda responded:

    I loved Breaking Dawn it was my favorite book out of all of them. I understand people wanted some more action but I would be soo upset of someone good was to die. I loved the fact that she got prego, and I loved the happy ending thats how books should be. I get some people dont like the book but dont talk crap about Stephanie, it s her book she can write it however she wants. Go Steph!! I cant wait for the movie to some out..

  31. Anna responded:

    I thought Breaking Dawn was perfect, I wanted another book to the saga, to see what happens with renesme,charlie and the cullens.
    But Stephenie my grandaughter gave me these books to read while I was in hospital and I never put them down I also read them when I got home what a lovely writer. thankyou from me , my daughter and grandaughter and let the nasty comments “go over the head”

  32. Moonraeven aka Debbie responded:

    Breaking Dawn is awesome just the way it is. I feel that it is up to the reader to interpret the mind and writings of Stephanie. The reader can choose to accept it the way it is written or read between the lines. One can only look and see that it is a fantasy love story and anyone who reads it can identify with one or more of the characters and want to trade places with them. It is meant to capture your imagination and keep you wanting more.

  33. twilighter responded:

    I personally loved Breaking Dawn, I like the ending also but I really wanted to know what happens between The baby and Jacob. Do they end up together or is she with someone else.Well i was still happy with it. Bur I wish there was a Book 5. I love twilight saga, I really dont care for the host.

  34. bec responded:

    i LOVED breaking dawn.
    its my favorite book out of the whole series.
    i do wish that maybe more would have happened at the end, but thats just my imagination running with the book more.
    I wouldnt have changed anything the book. Its amazing and the controversey is stupid. peolpe should just be happy with it. its amazing.

  35. sveta responded:

    i personally tried to imagine how it should end, and i couldn’t think of something better. i wish there was some book5 too

  36. donna responded:

    I wish she will go on about Jacob and Renesmee and tha rest of the pack of wolfs.there is one female wolf does she find her true mate. and does the packs storey go on.

  37. anna polzin responded:

    ok 1st its JUST A BOOK!!!!!!!!
    people need to stop freaking out about it!!
    Its a book go live your own lives!!!
    i like the book but its not my life. come on guys and girls get a grip!

  38. rachael spafford responded:

    honestly, i usually don’t like when characters have babies because it takes the focus off of the characters we used to love and now we all focus on the baby. but i can’t deny that the ending is the best one that we could have had, bella gets edward and jacob gets renesmee. my biggest issue was that if bella picks edward then jacob will be hurt but stephenie meyer fixed that and essentially, everyone’s happy.
    my favorite part in the book is the entire time bella’s sick and then when edward thought she was going to die, i love how he was made into the “burning man”. to me that is the ultimate love, not that romantic romeo and juliet love, that “i can’t live without you or i will absolutely lose it” love

  39. aerialla responded:

    There is a permanent mark on my wall where Breaking Dawn hit it more than once. The entire pregnancy story preposterous. It reminded me of a cross between Alien and the Bride of Chucky. I think Jake’s part should have been left out and Edward’s should have been in it’s place. Edward’s character was put into the background in a story where he should have been at the forefront.

    The ending in one word Sucked. Everything was predictable with no real anticipation or action. There was no climax. It was in fact anti-climatic.

    I have read better fan-fiction versions of the ending than what SM wrote. The whole book should have been edited and rewritten before it was ever published, at least SM admits to part of that. A first time writer writing the same book would have been sent a rejection letter for the mistakes alone.

    I am not sorry if I offended anyone with my comments. I refuse to put SM on a writing pedestal when it is incredibly obvious that she still has a lot to learn about writing.

  40. MonsterMaX3 responded:

    1. I really enjoyed Breaking Dawn, and thought it went a long way towards “closing” all the storylines which were active. Having said that, there were so many wonderful characters, all of which Stephenie Meyer made ME care about, that she’d still be writing if she took all their stories to conclusion. (She could, though, and I’d read them!!)

    2. I think BD is really good as is. After reading it “mumbled #” times, I see minor editing / timeline errors. Not a big enough deal to detract from the storyline, and probably only noticable to someone as obsessive as me!

    3. IMO the controversy was very unfair to Stephenie Meyer. Regardless of what we as readers want to see happen in a story, ultimately it is HER vision, and she should be able to create it however SHE sees it without worrying about her readers, please note that I’m including myself in this group, bashing her for her vision. She created this series that many of us have greatly enjoyed. I think it’s more than unfair that we, her fans, criticize her because her vision didn’t match ours. Again, IMO we should be happy with the hours of enjoyable entertainment she provided us with, without expecting her to pick our brains and perfect our ideas for the characters.

  41. vickyc responded:

    I love breaking dawn ,I Could read it over and over. Stephanie did a great job and I hope that they definitely make the movie.

  42. kijo921 responded:

    First of all… LOVED BD.. LOVED BEING IN JAKE’S HEAD…. hated the name (but I understand why she created it and the importance of it being unique). Enough said about that….

    Secondly, Summit better be stashing some cash up to make ‘Breaking Dawn’! It DEFINITELY needs to be made into a movie!!! At least make it four hours long… it’s been done before…. MANY TIMES! Don’t cut us off, Summit, or you’ll be looking for some seriously CRAZY twifans that will storm the offices! LOL! I joke… but in the same moment, I raise the eyebrow and know that there’s some truth to it, too!

  43. tanisha responded:

    I loved the part with Jacob..his point of view..but that was pretty much the only part i found amazing.
    Otherwise..it was sweet but too much in too little if that makes any sense. Also i felt it lost that “realism” sense the other books had. I felt like Steph kinda got carried away.
    Also it was disapointing that there was no fight. I think the Volturi needed a reminder of what their purpose was..not to control the vampires but to protect their secret and keep them safe. It would have been nice to see the Cullens teach them that.
    Of course..it’s all just an opinion..lol..and with all due respect to Steph that i think is amazing and can hardly wait what’s next on her agenda.

  44. Melissa responded:

    i thought every single word of breaking Dwn was OUTSTANDING!!

    Stephenie Meyer finished it perfectly :)

  45. tam responded:

    i dont care wat any 1 else says breaking dawn was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!so just shut up because you know nothing at all!!!!!!!!!!!!

  46. Mickster responded:

    Breaking Dawn satisfied my need to FINALLY see the END to the love triangle once and for all. Bella and Edward are true eternal love. Jacob is wonderful, but he was not meant for Bella. God bless Stephenie, Rob, Kristen, and everyone who has agreed to do Breaking Dawn the movie.

  47. natalie responded:

    Well i did not really like breaking dawn. My fav twilight book was the 1st one, I thought at frist i would not like it but when i picked it up i could not put it down and stayed up till 3:30am!! What bothered me about breaking dawn is that Bella got everthing she wanted. Her Man, her Best Friend, and her Child. Jake got over her like that. What saved the book for me was being inside Jakes head, his scarcasm, witt and understanding of how crazy everyone around him was acting made the crazyness less maddning. And renessme, OMG renessme. If Vampires don’t change ever then why does she speed grow and then live forever? Wound’nt it make more sense it she grew very slowly (because of her vamp side) but still became old (but slowly because of her mortal side)? I still ♥ the series but BD for me was the best writen of the saga but the one with the worst story.
    All i can say is the happy ending was just to happy. Bella did not have to sacrefice anything to her her ending.

  48. helen. responded:

    All of the pints being raised here are just further proving the fact that everything in BD was so convenient.
    Everybody got their happily ever after.
    It would have been so much better if a main character DID die. Then at least I would have been a little more appreciative of the end to the story.
    In agreement with natalie about BD/renesme/bellas continual stroke of luck!
    BD was one of those books where you just had to accept what happens without any explanation or reasoning.
    I could have told anyone a general plot after reading the first two chapters.
    I hate that Breaking Dawn sucked so much.

  49. julia responded:

    i loved all the books. im just sad that i finished them. breaking dawn was very good,i thought.

  50. kelly responded:

    i think that breaking dawn is an awsome book and i love the ending she is an awsome aurther and i think she’s right if that’s the way she wanted the book to be then we should love it.

  51. Jax responded:

    I adore Breaking Dawn! I wonder if it’s an age thing as the marriage, children and resolution aspects of Breaking Dawn are more in line with my life as it is at the moment (in my late 20s). The earlier books are more set in the pattern of life and experiences of teenagers and high school students, so I can understand if readers of that age are finding Breaking Dawn speaking to them less that the previous books.

    I loved it that Bella got everything that she wanted. Probably again that by my stage of life I’ve had losses and disappointments and it’s nice to have a bit if escapisim in fiction where even when everything looks so black, it all works out for the best.

    I really hope that they go ahead and make the movie. The special effects in it will have to be amazing but I’m not sure how they’ll get Bella ‘vomiting a fountain of blood’ past the censors!

  52. Chanell responded:

    Breaking Dawn for me was a REAL emotional roller coster. It was an entire different reading experience for me then the rest of the books … because I thought it had the most shockers. Thats why I think the book is really good. But the thing of it is … everything happened that I wanted to happen and more, but I liked things the way they were before Bella turned into a vampire. I think the reason why is mostly because of Renesmee. I am still kind of shocked that Edward could get Bella pregnant. But maybe its the fact that they are parents now … idk why but I just think its weird. I also liked their relationship better … maybe its the forbidden love. or maybe I think its sweeter that Edward tries SO hard to be with her and she risks her life for him. Idk I just have MAJOR Breaking Dawn PMS, lol. I cant make up my mind but all I can say is … if you loved the other books … Breaking Dawn is a MUST READ.

  53. Heather TWI-or-DIE responded:

    Ok.. so I LOVE all of the Twilight books..
    And I find them all entertaining, I have read them so many times..
    I lost count after 27. and I’ve read them quite a few more times since then.
    I don’t think Breaking Dawn will be the final book of Bella’s story..
    I mean do you really thing the Volturi are just gonna leave the Cullen’s alone now..
    and even after Bella’s story is done..
    what about Nessie, Jacob.. and the rest of the Wolves, Cullens, and what about Charlie?? come on.. i love the series.
    and i REALLY hope she continues it.. but as of right now…
    everything she has told of Bella’s story is really really good!!!!

    ~Heather~

  54. Twilightus responded:

    The only problem I have with the ending of Breaking Dawn, is just that, it ended! I so want more! I think Stephenie was brilliant in the way she finished the saga! Bella wins! What more could we possibly want? Oh, yes, of course continue the saga; who doesn’t want that? Did she leave the door open? Absolutely! And Stepehenie if you are listening to your fans, WE WANT MORE!!!!!!

  55. ronda responded:

    I LOVED Breaking Dawn! It was Awesome!

  56. Edward's Gal responded:

    Breaking Dawn may be my favorite (if not it’s Twilight). I loved all the little things like the way Edward called her “Sweetheart” (you will notice he didn’t use that name anywhere else throughout the Saga) and little Renemee (so cute!). One of the most important things to me was that he waited to change her untli she dying (she was willing to wait till twenty!). The things I had the biggest problem with were the Jacob narration (Stephenie, can you PLEASE release Forever Dawn??? PLEASE???, the imprinting (kind of weird, and anyway I never really liked Jacob, but that’s just me), and lastly, the way she said she loved Edward just as much as Renesmee (something about her heart swelling) but “held on” to the memory of Renesmee to bring her back from the from the fire. I would have held on to both. The ending was good. I might have preferred a fight but I didn’t want any of the good guys to die (even sadistic Kate). One last thing, if you ever read this, THANK YOU a thousand times Stephenie for the pro-life message!

  57. KateDenali responded:

    Breaking Dawn was the best book of the series. I love everything about it and don’t think anything could be changed. If Stephenie had thought about change *anything* I would have to beg of her NO! NO! NO! the book is perfect.

    Um, Edward’s Gal, Kate was *not* sadistic. She may have enjoyed working with Bella just a little too much (shocking Edward) but she wasn’t sadistic with it. I just wish that Kate had gotten to take on Jane. Jane really did need a taste of her own medicine for what she did to Edward in Italy (New Moon if anyone forgot which book).

    I have read each book six times, am currently on the 7th go round and my co-workers make fun of me for it, but I don’t care! It’s an amazing series and I can’t get enough of it!

    i loved breaking dawn, but i know there was complaints b/c there was no fight scene. I personally didn’t mind that there wasn’t, b/c someone would’ve had to die if that took place. As far as them making a movie, i would love to see them have an alternate ending on the dvd, with the fight scene, b/c i think then it would appeal to both parties. anyone agree?

  59. Lorena responded:

    I only like breaking dawn in the beginning. But I think later on it’s just weird. And I know people will disagree, but I don’t like Renesmee either. I didn’t want Bella to have a kid cause I thought it should have ended with just Edward and Bella. That’s it.

    To say the truth, me favorite book out of the whole series is New Moon.

  60. Becca E Twilight Mom Forever responded:

    I absolutely love Breaking Dawn! it is my favorite book out of all of them. I think Stephanie did great! I would not have it end any other way. I have read it 5 times and am at the end of the 6th time and I never get bored with it,I love Renesmee shes a beauty. The whole book brings together the rest of the books for a fairy tail ending that’s happy! I love the birth part and Bella’s changing. I am however starved for more. I would love for Stephanie to continue writing about Renesmee and Jacob, and if the Volturi ever came back at the Cullens family. The best book series I have ever read, thanks Stephanie!

    breaking dawn is my favorite of the series! i do agree with melissa, that it would be cool if they had an alternate ending, but i would want it to be written by stephenie not melissa rosenburg. it would add a very interesting twist to the film. Go Breaking Dawn!

  62. Judy Bradley responded:

    I loved Breaking Dawn too. It was so good to see Bella being able to feel good about what she could do and developing confidence in herself. I have read the series several times as well as watching the movie. I am going out there myself in a month and I am so excited! Thanks Stephanie, this has added a whole new dimension to my life! It is part of my life now, wish it would continue as it does in my heart and mind!

  63. Cassidy responded:

    Breaking Dawn is of course my favorite of the saga.
    I personally thought every single one was entertaining, nobody should be upset about the controversy.

  64. Genna responded:

    Breaking Dawn is the best book I have ever read.
    Nobody needs to be upset over this ending. I think it ended on a great note. It may have left people wanting more, but that just shows how amazing this saga has been. People need to get a grip and just realize that she wrote what she wanted to write and leave it at that.

  65. Bella-Michi responded:

    I loved Breaking Dawn, but I thought there were too many loose ends left behind when it finished. I’d like to go through the story of Renesmee growing up, and all of her adventures getting big so fast. I think we need more Bella as a vampire as well, because it feels like the story isn’t over.
    I do like the ending Stephenie used, I just think she could continue it. And I agree… she should release Forever Dawn!!!!

    I loved Breaking Dawn!!The Twilight series was great and ended great!!
