Twilight part 3

Spoilers On

Well, this morning I finished Breaking Dawn.
You know how the movie Alien was good, and Predator was good, and Alien vs. Predator was entertaining, but in Alien vs. Predator 2 there was the hybrid Alien/Predator and the movie was crap. Well, in Breaking Dawn there is a hybrid human/vampire, and though I was not a fan of the character, it was not hokey and made the story interesting. In this book, Bella marries Edward and gets what she has wanted since the first book: immortality as a vampire.
The book does something real interesting and tells about three hundred pages from Jacob's point of view, and though I didn't think I would like that, it made me feel better about Jacob, and I would have rather watched Bella's pregnancy from Jacob's perspective then hear about it from Bella's.
I am not a fan of the imprinting on toddlers. I don't think it is necessary, though it made Jacob's story more interesting.
Now, say you are watching Return of the King, and all the Riders of Rohan and the armies of Gondor all line all and are all ready to fight the forces of Mordor. You are super pumped for an epic battle with lots of death and destruction. And then Aaragorn and Gandolf go and talk Sauron out of fighting. That is how Breaking Dawn ends. All the build up for no battle.
But none the less I did enjoy the book and the entire Twilight series. I can't say I have a favorite book, just favorite moments. On of those moments being the gathering of all of the vampires from around the world. That was great.
