I mentioned about reading bad reviews about Breaking Dawn over at Amazon(dot)com.
To be honest, my opinions on the book are pretty mixed, now that I've finished reading. The flow of the story is very Stephenie Meyer but the context is a far cry from the first 3 books.
I agree that as an author you could deviate away from the Vampire mythology. But her constant contradiction is a letdown.
Saying that when a vampire is created, his/her body is frozen in time. No hair or nail growth. The female no long ovulates, and the male, well, it's understood that he cannot procreate.
Sure, we have heard of the Incubus, an energy vampire who preys on women to produce their mutant offspring. But Edward Cullen, the dazzling Prince Charming from the Twilight series is not an incubus. So how could he impregnate Bella, especially when his human body stops functioning?!
When Bella gave birth to a Dhampir, an offspring of a vampire father and a human mother. By the way, the author addresses the child as an 'Immortal Child' instead. (Another attempt to deviate from the mythology?)
The Volturi are an arrogant bunch of self-proclaimed police force who tries to keep their secret from the human race.
When they found out about it, the Cullens panic and rush to find witnesses from all around the world for help. The big showdown I had expected turned out into several pages of *gasp* conversation!
The backlash from other disappointed Twilight fans are getting worst. I understand why. I'm not even rushing to go for a second read, like the first 3 books.
PS
I was watching the Men's 400m Individual Medley this morning. No surprise that Michael Phelps got gold. The narrator made me laugh when he said "Thank God someone wore other than black(pants) this morning."

I watched the boxing at 2 today, one sided and no knockouts like yest, interesting nonetheless...
