This is a school project I did a very long time ago, copy and pasted into a star wars format expressing my deep hatred for Breaking Dawn and Twilight, aswell as explaining why I dislike them.

Since the beginning of the semester, I’ve been reading a little book called breaking dawn. I didn’t end up finishing the book, because it’s a pretty girthy book. But I’m not here to spit praises at it like most people. I’m here to tell you why this book is overrated garbage. Obviously, Breaking Dawn is not the first book in the series, in fact, I’m pretty sure it’s the fifth one. But I’m still gonna complain about it, because I spent too many months reading this.
We start off without being introduced to our main character, Bella. Since this book is pretty far into the series, it understandably doesn’t introduce the characters, and it’s probably my fault for jumping into the series in one of, if not the last book. Bella’s throwing a fit about how her fiancé bought her a nice car, and then she goes home to cry about a missing person she barely knows. We’re then introduced to the fiancé, Edward, who’s apparently a vampire. And it’s at this point that I think you’re starting to understand what type of book this is. It’s a teen vampire romance novel. And obviously since I’m a teenaged boy, and not a twelve-year-old girl, I’m far from the target demographic for this series. I think Edward’s supposed to be some sort of heartthrob character, but he’s just kinda annoying to me.
Edward has a fight with Bella’s dad, and then they get ready for the wedding. And if you didn’t believe me when I said this book was a teenaged vampire romance novel, just know that the wedding is over fifty pages! And nothing happens! Bella has a nervous breakdown about getting married, but Edward’s sister basically says “You don’t have a choice, so look pretty” and she’s supposed to be played up as a nice character.
The wedding ends up going fine, and the only thing that made it bad was the fact that Bella was having a nervous breakdown. They start the after party, get in a few dances, talk to a few characters that I assume are important, and then Bella’s called into the forest where another character I feel like is supposed to be important, Jacob, who’s apparently a werewolf because why the heck not, is waiting for her in the forest. Apparently they’re supposed to be friends, but after Bella mentioned the fact that she was marrying Edward once, you know, the reason Jacob was there, he started throwing a fit and tried to kill Bella. What a good friend.
It's at this point that you can probably tell how much of a literary dumpster fire this is, and I probably don’t need to tell you the rest of what happens, but it then goes on to have around fifty pages just talking about their honeymoon, where also nothing happens. Bella throws a hissy fit about how Edward’s being a good husband and is making her food, and that’s about it. The whole time there’s little sprinkles of actual cohesive story and plot, but then it doesn’t go anywhere! Then they swap to Jacob’s POV, remember him, haven’t heard from him in about eighty pages, and nothing happens to him either.
That’s about as far as I read, and honestly, I would have been able to tell you the entire plot by only reading the first ten pages. But that’s Breaking Dawn. Over-rated, and over-appreciated. Do I recommend you read this book? Not at all no. It’s objectively poorly written, and a bad story. That’s it.
