Meyer, Stephenie Breaking Dawn, 754 p. Little, Brown, 2008.MS, HS - ESSENTIAL
I just put down Breaking Dawn and want to writ the review ASAP. There will be spoilers, probably, so don't read further if you don't want to read them.
I was afraid that this was going to be one more angst-ridden (but boring) fight between Edward and Jacob up until the day that Bella finally made her choice and took steps one way or the other. I was pleasantly surprised to have the wedding over in the first few chapters and as each new twist and turn in the plot unfolded, it all worked well together and felt effortless. Bella's powers and her determination helped turn her from a kind of clinging whining teenager into a confident woman. Very satisfying! There are about one dozen swears (no "f"), some implied sex (the married kind), and a little violence, so be aware that it is not squeaky clean. But otherwise, I hope your library has plenty of copies on hand when the school year begins!
