New York Magazine’s blog, Vulture, covers the Breaking Dawn backlash (including a “Return Breaking Dawn” campaign launched by a dissatisfied fan on Amazon) in “Did Breaking Dawn Ruin the Twilight Series?”
The answer is, “Yes, for some,” but others like it even better than the earlier books.
A similar hate-it/love-it discussion is taking place on YALSA-BK. It just goes to prove what Edmund Wilson said, “No two persons ever read the same book.”

The book was just over-the-top and didn’t stay true to the characters.
Its disappointing.
This woman is NOT the new JK Rowling. Rowling gave us an AMAZING finale… Stephenie served up a horrible fan fiction like mess.
