    Yeah, although I didn't like it as much as the others. When I first read the major event (I'm not saying what it is for the sake of people who haven't read it.) I was like "Haven't I read a fanfic like this before...?" It just came off very fanficy at first, but by the end it got better.

    Breaking Dawn was definately the best out of the series... ;D

    T-T *sniffle* i wish she would keep writing Midnight Sun. though...


    and something I've been wondering: What do the covers of the books have to do with the story? Thay're, like, random... And so are the titles... o.o

    I read it the first day it came out. It was all right; but it could of been a whole lot better.

    And just so you know; there's already a topic on this. Try the search option next time.


    I have to disagree, I didn't like Breaking Dawn. It was good and all, but it's at the bottom of my list.

    As for the book covers, I always thought they were symbols.
    Twilight - the apple, the symbol of the forbidden fruit. Bella is considered the forbidden fruit to Edward Cullen.
    New Moon - the rose tainted with paint or blood or whatever it was. I was thinking this was more along the lines of Bella falling in love with Jacob; tainted by him, so to speak.
    Eclipse - the broken ribbon; Bella's heart is broken in two - one half for Edward, the other for Jacob
    Breaking Dawn - the chess pieces; I think that the white queen piece is supposed to symbolize Bella and the red pawn piece is Renesseme.

    I still get traumatized when is gets to the you-know-what scenes *shudders*
    One of my favourite parts is when Bella and Emmet have that arm wrestle XD​

    The chess pieces symbolize Bella. At first she started out as the lowest piece, a pawn, but then moved up to a very high status, the queen, because of the events in Breaking Dawn.

    *before I knew this, I also thought that the pieces symbolized Bella and Renesmee.

    Stephenie said that on her site! ^^ I didn't understand the cover until I read her explination. I had some theories that were close. She really goes deep with her covers. Did you know that the apple on front of Twilight is supposed to symbolize the 'forbidden fruit' in the Garden of Eden? O.o

    Yep! I did! She does seem to really get into the covers. And I love that she actually came up with the ideas!

    Well, all of them except New Moon. She doesn't even know what that cover means because her publisher made that one. >.<

    ...well I really just meant BD. So yeah...hmm, I think it has to do with Bella, like her being all pure and stuff...like white is the color of purity, and I think the red means that it has been tainted with. Or something like that.

    Um, nevermind then. Most people don't really understand my mind...so back to Breaking Dawn!

    I love Jacob and Nessie together!

    i fininished the book [finally] i thought the pieces were bella and edward... as bella was small and weak compared to edward... but your theory makes a lot of sense though

    *i actually thought it was a king

    I really don't like
    Jacob+Nessie. It gives me the hebbie-jebbies when I think of my best friend loving my daughter. O.o (Not that I have one yet. That's a completely hypothetical situation! XD)

    Actually it's not a theory. Stephenie posted it on her site that that is what it means.

    EDIT: To Riku_Gaara
    I have loved that pairing since I first read about it! It is a little weird though! lol

    It's almost like a love triangle. First Jacob loved Bella then Renesmee. And Bella loving Edward. And also, Kristen Stewart is in like two movies now with a love triangle between a guy and a daughter and a mom. What the heck is up with that?
