User blog:Puddinginthesky/Breaking Dawn! What Really Grinds My Gears

Lol, nice title, hm? :)

"In Breaking Dawn, what price is paid? Bella gets Edward. Bella gets Jacob. Bella gets beauty and grace. Bella gets a baby. Bella gets a fairytale cottage. Bella gets all the powerful trappings of vampiric power without all the burden of newborn instincts. Bella gets to keep her human family. Bella gets Meyer's "perfect ending."

The perfect ending comes at what price?

The price is the love story, the plot, and the character development. The price is seeing Jacob turn from a noble suitor who knows when to bow out, into a toddler's pet.

The price is seeing the endearingly vulnerable Bella turn into a perfect shell of her former self.

The price is seeing Edward, who was once a continuously smoldering cauldron of desire, degraded to a level of abject affliction.

The price is watching Charlie turn from a loving and protective father into a "don't need to know" Homer Simpson.

The price is having to stomach a bloodbath,a mutant birth which rivals the absurdity of the alien reptile baby delivery of the "V" TV miniseries of the 1980's. (Remember that one, gentle reader?)

Bella's surrender of her human life to Edward should have ended intimately with his lips caressing her throat, not with fountains of blood spewing from her mouth as Jacob watches." - Amazon.com Reviewer

That all is kinda my opinion on Breaking Dawn, just told by another. I also disliked the anti-climatic ending. But I loved the wedding.
