Breaking Dawn

Last one:

*All these years I've heard the hype over a supposed sex scene. I should've listened to Kaitlyn, my former movie/book screener. As she said, it was all implied.
*I enjoyed reading from Jacob's point of view. Until the birth scene. Parents are worried about the honeymoon? The birth was extremely graphic and disturbing (not a normal human birth).
*And the book gets even more twisted. I feel like there was a huge maturity jump from book three to book four. The first three books were teen romances. The fourth is more adult themed and dark. People say the same about Harry Potter, but I disagree. Harry Potter's knowledge and responsibilities mature as he matures in order to defeat Voldemort. The dark undertones were always there, but were made more manifest as the time got closer for Harry to battle You-Know-Who. However, each book also remains fun and enjoyable for all ages.
*Debating whether or not to finish reading the book . . . nope, not finishing it. I have better ways to spend my time. I'll just ask my friend how it ends.
*Overall: Weird and disturbing.

*Series Overall: The first three were entertaining. I probably would have enjoyed them more as a middle schooler, when I was into teen romances. I still don't understand the obsession in women my age or older. I may watch the first two or three movies, but maybe not. The saga was nowhere near as genius or addicting as the Harry Potter series. Apples to oranges? Maybe. But HP forever for me!
