Breaking Dawn

(There are spoilers if you haven't read the previous books)



The last in the Twilight series, and I would say it's also the best among the 4 books. This book is broken into 3 parts, 1st part is quite draggy I think. It's about Bella and Edward's wedding, and her pregnancy. Part 2 is rather interesting as the story is told with Jacob's point of view. This part is mainly about the conflict between the Cullen (the vampire family) and Quilette (the werewolf family).



Part 3 is why I think this book is the best. Finally the Volturi (the strongest vampire family in Italy) came to kill Cullen family for some reasons which I'm not going to say here. This part reminds me alot of Heroes, in which some vampires possess unique superpower. I think their powers are quite unbalance. On Volturi side, there is one vampire who can silence all your senses, sight, feel, smell, taste, while another vampire can make you burn. As always, there isn't much 'physical' action here as in the other 3 books, mainly because their battle were fought in mind. Eg, one Volturi vampire tried to create illusion of pain on Cullens, but being blocked by Bella whose power is shielding the effect.



One thing I'm quite looking forward to is to see how Bella looks like after she turned into vampire. She is supposed to obtain the 'vampiric' + 'angelic' + 'extremely good looking' face. Also, the Jacob werewolf part should be quite interesting to see in movie.
