breaking dawn

Over break I started Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer and finished the whole thing. I thought some of the choices Bella made were interesting. Although they turn out bad at times in the end everything works out and Edward and Bella can live the life they dreamed of together. The choice she made to keep the baby even though it was killing her seemed very dangerous, but the Cullens figure out a way to conquer it and for Bella to survive. However, the only was she is able to survive is to turn into a vampire. Bella also decides, after Jacob forces it upon her, to keep seeing Charlie and just not completely fill him in on all the details that he doesn't need to know. This seems to work out fine. One thing I found very interesting about this book was the point of view change. It starts out with Bella telling the story and whats going on with her, describing her feelings, and then it switches to Jacob. He describes whats going on in the pack and what he sees of Bella. Then in the end it switches back to Bella telling. I thouhgt this was a very interesting thing becuase for the first time in the series the reader sees multiple viewpoints and the author has never done this in any of the other books. It makes me wonder why she decided to now in the final book. Over all the book was very good and I'm sad to be done with the whole series.
