This 754-page book was quite a chore to read. It took me over a month and slowed my book a week reading style down considerably but it was well worth it. It was the best book of the four and the most complex book as well. Then again what else would you expect from 754 pages.
The characters were all well defined if not at times overly so. The action was well paced in the beginning and the story line moved along quite well at first. That is all true until the last quarter of the book.
There were too many characters briefly introduced at the end and the action dropped to a crawl at this point. The last 250 pages took forever to get through and was the only time during my reading I did no look forward to picking up the book again and just wanted the chapters to end.
This book would have been better at about 500 pages the last 250 as I said before were lame and just confused me to no ends. The only thing that confused me more than the last 250 pages was the daughter’s name.
Renesmee is just a mouthful to say. I much preferred her nickname of Nessie. That should not take away from your desire to read this book however. It is well worth the read even if it gets a bit long and slow at the end. It is by far the most superior book of the series and well worth reading the other three.
