Breaking Dawn, a little disapointing
Are you like me and disappointed with how Breaking Dawn (Twilight saga) by Stephenie Meyer ended? Don’t get me wrong, I like the books. But, it seemed to end too civil (do not want to give it away). It leads me to believe the next installment should have a little more action. I’ve talked about this with teens at Flora, and they have the same opinion. On a side note I am not a lover of series for books or movies. I stopped reading The Uglies series half-way through The Specials.
Stephenie Meyer was working on the new book, Midnight Sun, until it was leaked on the Internet. She describes was happened and her reaction on her website.
One thing I absolutley love about Meyer is that she is connected with her audience. The fact she puts a music playlist on her website that goes along with the theme of the book is awesome and not to mention just has great music (IMHO).

I wasn’t disappointed with the way the series ended; or is it the end? My students tell me that Midnight Sun was supposed to be a retelling of the story from Edward’s viewpoint, not anything new to the storyline.
I, too, stopped the Uglies series – I didn’t even start Specials. And I haven’t read the third book in Libba Bray’s A Great and Terrible Beauty series – although I will.
I do like series – but I have to be connected to a character in them to keep reading. (Love the Sue Grafton series, for example). The character I cared the most about in the Twilight series was Jacob, though. And come to think of it, I am not thrilled with what happens to him (like you, not giving anything away).
