Breaking Dawn is the finale to the apparently 'explosive' Twilight saga. As a teenager I have had to live through High School Musical and Justin Bieber, but none has been worse than the Twilight craze. I have struggled to read these horrible novels, and funnily enough, was not able to finish this one. I had stopped reading it for weeks, thrown it across the room, yet it was of no use. My mind could simply not contain any more useless plotlines or ridiculous dialogues.

In Twilight, the whole plot was mainly on could their love ever work? In New Moon, it was still could their love survive all that they had been through? In Eclipse, it was more on should Bella be with someone who she loves with all her soul, but would have to sacrifice everything for (Edward), or should she be with someone who she still loves (kind of), but whom she could just be herself (Jacob)?

In Breaking Dawn, Bella finally seems to have finally stopped wavering, and made a decision. In this instalment of The Twilight Saga, Bella has accepted Edward's marriage proposal. The plan is: get married, have inter-species intercourse during the honeymoon, transform into vampire afterwards, then move to another country. Sadly for Bella, it doesn't work out like that…

She gets pregnant! (Interestingly enough they are all extremely surprised, however, if you have intercourse several times without protection, then what do you expect?) Pregnant with a mutant half-human-half-vampire foetus that slowly kills her. Bella being Bella refuses having an abortion, or to just adopt a child. During her rather surreal pregnancy, the narrative shifts to Jacob, and that in itself destroyed all hope in my life.

During the past novels, Jacob (and Charlie) was the only one who would not self-pity themselves, and he was the only one who would always be the voice of reason. In Breaking Dawn, though he was still the voice of reason, he was so unbelievably self-pitying, that I so desperately wanted him to have an accident which put him into a coma, just to shut him up. If I thought that Bella's narrative in New Moon was revolting, then Jacobs' is nauseating.

After Jacob witnesses Bella's rather grotesque labour, the narrative shifts back to Bella. Now, happy ending? No. The Volturi (whom we met in New Moon) have someone found out about the half-breed and decided to intervene 'for the greater good' (which includes murdering the child so imaginatively named Renesme) so that it (?) does not cause anyone harm. This causes another war with the Cullen's banding together with the werewolves against someone attacking Bella and Edward (+mutant child).
