READ MORE HERE: knoxnews.com | Book bandit on the run: "I finished 'Breaking Dawn,' the fourth and supposedly last book in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, today. I've been playing around on the Web for a while waiting for election night results and there are a lot of people freaking out about the plot. Most of the articles have spoilers in them, so don't click through if you don't want to know about the plot. Jezebel's writers and audience didn't take too kindly to Meyer's take on vampire family life. A LiveJournal blogger offers a play-by-play that is pretty funny and New York magazine asks 'Did Breaking Dawn Ruin the Twilight series?'
Personally, I chuckled through parts of all of Meyer's books. She is CLEARLY writing for the teen girl set. People can argue all day long about whether Meyer is doing a disservice to feminism, but I assure you, those same women were once boy-crazy teenagers that only wanted to find a true love that would last forever. Is that so terribly conventional? As for the bizarro vampire love plot points, I can admit I was rolling my eyes, too. The epic battle scene was dissappointing as well; I completely agree that Meyer bunted on this one. Was she afraid of dissappointing her fans?"
