Breaking Dawn was possibly one of the most anticipated books to come out this year, and millions of readers such as myself had hoped for an ending and final book that surpassed the last three in greatness. Unfortunately Breaking Dawn didn’t fulfill the expectations I had hoped it would reach. As if the plot wasn’t bad enough the new characters and old characters were horrible. When reading the end to this saga I felt as if Stephenie Meyer wasn’t there for the final one. I mean the first three books were amazing, and the fourth lacked to even compare. I felt as if Meyer wasn’t even writing this book, and that some other author had taken over and couldn’t grasp Meyer’s basic concepts to this once great storyline. Read More »

Really…. I did manage to finish this book within one day because it was difficult to put down with all the twists and turns happening. This series will not disappoint, as it does not have the cliche, predictable ending that many ‘romantic comedy’ novels do. I loved reading it and I loved Chaz even more than before, given that he was not as important in the other two books. It’s a great read. Definitely worth the money and time. Read More »

This story looks like she is going in a much darker direction. There was not the fun and games like in the first books. I hated the cover, but it alerts us to the change in direction she is going. It appers to me that she is getting marketing advice on how to compete with the likes of Laurell K.Hamilton. I read the Betsy books because it offered a change of pace—it was funny. I will give her next book one more chance.

The author is revealing the character’s own prejudices, born of her culture, not trying to create them in others. He is speaking with authority from his experiences in Africa – just look at his outstanding bio. The story is beautifully told. It’s like reading poetry. There are some hard moments – the storyline of the woman looking for her missing son is heartbreaking. But there is so much humor and wisdom in it. It was alluring and wonderfully entertaining. I haven’t read anything like this in a long, long time. I’m glad I read this book. Read More »
