But this is a book that calls out more for discussion than for review. And I try very hard on my blog not to reveal details that will spoil anyone's reading of a book. Is my review going to be the thing that entices some particular reader to pick up the book, in the face of the media firestorm, and the 2400+ reviews already available on Amazon? It seems hardly likely. In truth, I don't see much point in reviewing this title at all. But I'm sure that my library will be more than happy to have a donated copy.
And of course the day after I finished reading it, the publisher's copy showed up. It wasn't so much that I was dying to know how the series ended, but it was getting difficult not to read spoilers. But it hadn't come, and I finally purchased a copy. And then I knew that the publisher would be sending me a copy, so I waited a few days for that. First I was on vacation, and I don't like traveling with bulky hardcovers. Although the Twilight film saga ended with Edward and Bella sharing memories and telling each other they will be together forever, that final scene would have had a lot more impact had the battle been real.Background: It took me a couple of weeks after the publication date to get to the conclusion of Stephenie Meyers' Breaking Dawn.
The battle would’ve been a very sad one, given that Carlisle and Jasper would have died, but it would have been a much more satisfying ending than the Volturi deciding to leave just like that after all the trouble caused by them not only in Breaking Dawn but in previous books too. The 10 minute-long fight between vampires and wolves ended up being a waste of time, as the writers decided to do the book’s ending anyway, with the Volturi simply leaving. Just as Bella approaches Aro’s head to burn it, viewers are taken back to Alice sharing her vision, and realize that the battle they just witnessed was that: a vision. There are many casualties on both sides, most notably Jasper and the Clearwater siblings, as well as Aro himself thanks to the combined efforts of Edward and Bella. In it, Aro kills Carlisle, which triggers the fight. In Breaking Dawn - Part 2, the Volturi and the Cullens (along with the Quileute wolf packs and other vampire allies) meet in the snowy forest for a battle – but before they start beheading each other, Alice shares with Aro, the leader of the Volturi, her vision of the battle that is to come.
