Why did I pick this book? As with the first three and a half books in this series, I read these books at least once a year. Especially when a new movie is coming out. And since the new movie that is coming out is Breaking Dawn, Part 1, I “had” to read this book. And I read the last few chapters twice. 

Did I enjoy this book? Yes. This is my second favorite book of the series. (My favorite is the first book.)

My favorite part of this book is the climax at the end between the Cullens, their friends, and the Volturi. I know some people think that it is anticlimactic, but I disagree. I found it very good, nerve-racking, and it has me on the edge of my seat every time I read it.

The rest of the book is good . . . I liked the different perspectives during the first half of the book. It’s nice to hear the story from Jacob’s point of view . . . especially since he has a bigger role in this book. (The bigger role I think was great. He stepped up, and it worked in the story.)

Would I recommend it? Yes.

Will I read it again? Yes. Yes. Yes.

About the book – from Goodreads: To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, she has endured a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife to reach the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs.

Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating and unfathomable, consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella’s life – first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse – seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed… forever?
