Reading this series was an interesting experience. I've always been a fan of the movies. Occasionally, I like watching what I would consider to be schlock. It's a guilty pleasure that thrives on its ridiculousness. Predictably, this reading experience felt as ridiculous as the movies. But I couldn't help myself. As a whole, I enjoyed reading it. It just felt like another way of watching the movies.

Now, I'll admit that some aspects of this story become more disturbing with more detail. I don't think there's any need to elaborate on that front. I'm sure we all think imprinting is gross. 

However, what really stood out the most in this final book was the decision to switch to Jacob's perspective in the middle third. Bella makes the decision to keep the baby despite the risk to her life and against her loved ones' wishes. And then you take that autonomy away from her by showing the events through a male character's perspective. Why have the whole series from Bella's perspective only to rip it from her when she is actually doing something of consequence? I understand that it gave us time spent not sitting around and with the wolves, but it also felt like the character was cheated out of a moment.

I'd only recommend this to people who like the movies. Despite its popularity, I dont think most readers would enjoy this fresh.
