How can anyone possibly like Breaking Dawn?

We're not starting this up again, are we? People like the Twilight series, even Breaking Dawn. Shocking right? Just let people like what they like. It's called an opinion for a reason.

Yes, that was me you quoted.

It's clear we have very different tastes. My taste is probably different from most people who visit this spot regularly and I am not ashamed.

Breaking Dawn was my favorite book of the series because some parts were so disturbing.
My favorite books have much more shocking and disturbing twists than Breaking Dawn.
I love books where the girl learns that her brother turns out to also be her uncle, and she just had his baby. Or the man whos only companions are an uncontrolble hoard of man eating rats somehow finds himself tied up and eaten by them.
I love Sweeney Todd because they eat people.
I love Macbeth because what's his name was "utimely ripped from his mother's womb". That's not exactly disturbing, but the imagery suggests otherwise.
My favorite part of BD was when Edward tore the baby from her womb.
Call me unusual and twisted, but I love that stuff.
I love The Killers because of the few songs they have about actually killing people, or being chased by a gun owning Santa Clause, all the while, preaching morality.

Those aware of my stance on the vampires morality may be confused about all this I'm saying, but I do value morality and not killing over eating people.
As long as they do something creepy with the dead bodies, I'll enjoy the murder. Respecting and honoring the dead bodies is boring.

The whole sex being too awkward to read about may fade with maturity. I like that in books too.
The girls brother sneaks into her bedroom and seduces her in the middle of the night. Amazing.

I say BD was perfect because I think it had the perfect mix of morality, imorality, and creepy occurences.
I have an odd taste, which is why I love it.

i don't like it either. i also find it hard to believe that other people found it perfect but i really don't care.. that's their life..they can have their own opinion and I can have mine.

i don't mind grisly and disturbing stuff myself.. Breaking Dawn was just badly written..i also didn't like it that everything went Happily ever after..also the "Edward and Jacob having deals about who would have sex with Bella" was taken too lightly…I don't like that it seems as if Meyer included this bit just to emphasize how Edward "loves" Bella so much he'd let Jacob have sex with her just so she can have the baby she wanted without getting hurt… I think it's another example of romanticizing something which is actually really twisted. And Bella didn't even got angry. For goodness' sake her husband asked another man to have sex with her… she still thought he was the most wonderful thing in the world… bah.


i wouldn't mind if a book i'm reading presents an unconventional idea which deviates from so-called morality but i wouldn't want that book to just take it lightly.. i want the book to make me see differently about conventional things....i wouldn't want the book to use the unconventional idea just so the plot moves and just to make sure every one of the character gets a happy ending or just to make me see how perfect a character is...

Let me spell it for you...

GIVE ME AN O!
GIVE ME A P!
GIVE ME AN I!
GIVE ME AN N!
GIVE ME AN I!
GIVE ME AN O!
GIVE ME AN N!

WHAT DOES THAT SPELL?!

OPINION!

Respect theirs.

People like different things. Deal with it.

I don't know.They have no taste in a good book.

i love twilight but with breaking dawn i was like WTF!! the only part i like was jacob's and that was it i hated bella's part :P

Because not everyone is you (thankfully). They have different tastes, opinions, likes, dislikes.

Why do I have the feeling I've said this to you before?

Just because you do not like something does not mean everyone has to no like it

There's something that we all have, and it's called an OPINION!

No one likes it.

I "like" Breaking Dawn because it's very... interesting. It's my favorite book out of the series, actually. I don't even like the Twilight series, and the messages it's teaching disgusts me, but if you read it just for the story and nothing else, it's actually very interesting. It's also disturbing, but I like a bit of disturbing in a story. A bunch of random stuff happened in Breaking Dawn that I really wasn't expecting, and it kept me entertained. Some parts pissed me off, but that just made it more entertaining.

Well as other people say, it's their opinion but I think that yours is just as important. I'd say that the first Twilight book was okay, it had a good amount of action and not just dialogue. I just found the books boring because of all of the unnecessary things in it. I didn't like Breaking Dawn either. I didn't like how Bella threw away her life for her husband (which was a horrible relationship by the way) and her unborn daughter. I didn't like the whole moral of that. It's like Stephanie Meyer was trying to say that girls should throw away their lives and ambitions and devote themselves to their husbands no matter the cost. It made it seem like your husband (I'm a girl, so I'll be speaking from my point of view) is always before you, no matter what. I didn't like how it was such a bad relationship either. Now I know that those kinds of relationships are really hard to get out of, but come on. She shouldn't have "belonged" to Edward or whatever it was. It was sad because he didn't even have her best interests at heart. He didn't seem to care much about her, he just wanted to please himself and make Bella feel like it was all okay. I just didn't like the books, they're just...not my taste.

Edward and Jacob were making the deal to save Bella's life. The imprinting on the baby is odd, but not much more different than people who fall in love and are seperated in age by 15 years. Bella offers to let Jacob run away with her daughter because she's trying to save her daughter's life. Any parent would do it. I like Breaking Dawn because despite the hell Bella's put through she stands up for herself. She doesn't let Edward convince her to terminate the pregnancy like he wanted.

Personally I thought it sucked and it's pretty annoying when my friend talks about it, but everyone has their opinions, I guess. Buuuut, Deathly Hallows is still better. Lol.

Oh boy, not this, AGAIN?!? People have different taste in things. I honestly don't know why someone would like something where the whole movie can be explained in a two minute trailer. But still...

I loved the first 3, but hated BD. Not for any of the reasons you listed though, so maybe I can explain those :)

"Edward and Jacob were making deals about who would have sex with Bella behind her back."
I don't remember that at all. But why does it bother you? It' just boys being boys.

"She gave birth in the most disgusting way."
Some people might not have minded. It wouldn't have bothered me if it weren't for, well, I'll get to that after.

"They did it like jack rabbits, it was disgusting".
Granted I only read it the once on account of disliking it so entirely, but didn't they only have sex like 5 times in the entire book? D: I don't think that's so much. Especially for teenagers ^_^ Still, some people might not mind that in the least. It didn't bother me.

"Bella had to drink blood when she was still human."
I don't understand your point here, sorry. Do you think it was cruel to her? I thought she surprised everyone by saying that she didn't actually mind?

"Jacob imprinted on the baby."
I thought it was great :D Otherwise he would have continued to like Bella, which would have been a pain :/ Plus, it's not as though he was sexually attracted to a baby. Remember when they describe the relationship as being whatever the imprintee (?) needs at any given stage of life? When she's young, he loves her as a sister :)

"Bella gave him permission to run away with the baby."
Yes. To save its life, right? Weren't the Volturri coming to kill her?

I disliked BD because of Renesmee :\ Not her character personally, but the part she played. I hate children, and I don't like it when characters in books have children, because (as we saw in Twilight) the focus becomes how much the couple loves the child, instead of how much they love each other :( Especially in a romance, the couple should be the absolute centres of each others lives. Renesmee interfered with that!

I don't understand why people are answering with simply the word opinions. lol. I thought that was the point of the question, it was asking for what those opinions were.
Anyway, personally I disliked breaking dawn too, though all of my friends loved it so I guess it really is just a matter of taste. However, my main reason for disliking the book was because I found it incredibly anti-climatic. I was all excited for an epic battle which never came :(. I guess some people might have appreciated that but it didn't work for me.

Because people have different tastes.
I don't like it, but I don't write mile-long questions, offending people that do.
