Book Review, Twilight Breaking Dawn
Breaking Dawn: sparking the interest of the mortals and perhaps something else?
Nowadays most people, or at least most teenagers, know a series called Twilight written by a American author named Stephanie Meyer. The last book in the series is called Breaking Dawn, which is getting released as a motion picture in November 2012, while the book was released in August 2008. The twilight series revolves around one major idea: a love story between a human and a vampire. The first three books tells the story of how the lovers – Isabella (or Bella), the human and the dashing 100-year-old vampire called Edward Cullen – met and how they went through many obstacles to continue to be together. The main obstacle is that they are different creatures and it is forbidden in vampire law to be with a human. The fourth and last book, leads the Twilight Saga into its ultimate finale, Breaking Dawn begins with another preface in which our narrator, Bella, once again faced with death. This time, though, it's a person she loves who's about to kill her. She decides that her love for that person leaves her no choice but to sacrifice her life.
The suggested audience, not implying that the people not in this group would not enjoy it, are mature, and are 13 or over. Breaking Dawn implies many mature themes and content, children should not read this unless supported by appropriate parental guidance. Overall this is a glorious book is like a diet of animal blood, which sustains the vampires central to this story, it helps to slake one’s thirst but makes one hunger for more of this delicious papery delight. It has sparkling romance and thick tension supported by a wonderful love triangle. The characters are as gorgeous as supermodels strutting down the catwalk; this is, dear mortals, a novel to DIE for.
Great work, Cynthia. Your review was informative, persuasive and for the most part very well written. You will, however, need to review – and practise – your use of commas, colons and

    The book, Honor and the American Dream: Culture and Identity in a Chicano Community, and the film, Salt of the Earth, both relay to their audience, the pursuit of happiness within the Chicano community in which they live. These works aim to show how Mexican-American immigrants fight to keep both their honor and value systems alive in the United States of America, a country which is foreign to their traditions. The Mexican-Americans encountered in these works fight for their culture of honor in order to define themselves in their new homeland, a homeland which honors the American dream of successful capitalism.…

    Deemed the new modern day Romeo and Juliet, Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight reintroduces the idea of “forbidden love”. However, Meyer’s Edward Cullen and Bella Swan are not simply rewritten versions of Romeo and Juliet. Instead, when comparing these two stories together, the reader can recognize more than the “forbidden love” that occurs between two opposing sides in both books, but they can also use the comparison to understand each character as individuals more thoroughly.…

    The type of readers who would like and understand some aspects of this novel would be in the high school to adult range, including some eighth graders because of the controversial emotions of some of the characters. Furthermore there is some language that younger readers probably shouldn't read, but fit the story. The author was also very descriptive with the deaths and visuals throughout the story are very traumatic. But through the horror, this book will appeal to a large audience of people who favor the science fiction…

    In the end, I still think it’s worth reading. Sure it’s a big book, and has over 500 pages, but It’s worth it. When Bella was trying to avoid celebrating her birthday, I think she should have just lived with it. Sure, she was technically older than Edward by a year, but that’s not a bad thing. When Edward and his family left town, I felt bad for Bella. The one person who made Forks feel completely different to her was gone. The one person she loved more than her parents was gone. When she became depressed, I was feeling sympathetic. When she found the 2 beat up motorcycles and took them to Jacob, I saw a turning point in her depression. A positive one no doubt. Once Jacob finished the bikes and took Bella out for riding lessons, I knew something was different about her. When she encountered Laurent in the meadow, I knew things were changing rapidly at that very point. Because that’s when she first saw the werewolves. When Jacob tried to jog Belle's memory involving his family legends, I remembered that was a reference to a scene in the previous book. Later on when Bella meets Emily, Emily calls Bella the “vampire girl” and Bella calls Emily the “wolf girl.” I’m thinking that was meant to be a joke. When Bella jumps off the cliff, I can see why others were saying she tried to kill herself. Who wouldn’t come to that conclusion right away? When I read that Harry Clearwater had a heart attack, I felt bad for his widowed wife…
