Breaking Dawn Backlash - No Spoilers
This is a response to the first post here, but amazon are saying I can't reply because I haven't bought anything..
I'm sorry but Breaking Dawn was not 'badly-written and poorly-edited garbage' I know alot of people will probably hugely disagree with me, but it wasn't. It may not have had what you wanted in it, it may not have had the right outcome or enough violence, or enough whatever it is you maniacs are moaning about in it, but you can't say it was badly written. If you want to return your book then that's fine, but stirring up what is really a hate campaign against the publishers and Stephenie Meyer is stupid and disgusting.
Would you make this much fuss over another book you didn't like? NO, it's because you know that there is a lot of publicity and interest around these books and this author, or is there another reason? Why is everyone making SO much fuss, just over a book they didn't like. Yes a lot of so-called twilight fans [even though I can't see how some of you can call yourselves fans after the utterly offensive backlash that has been going on] don't like the book, but why so much backlash...you wouldn't get this if a few people picked up the same book randomly and didn't like it.
FINE return your books, at least then we might hear the end of your whining and moaning about it.

I'm just fed up with everyone! Yes, one particular aspect of Breaking Dawn was slightly disappointing, but otherwise - the other 98% of the book - I really really liked. I have had to give myself some time before picking it up again, but for the most part I thought it was a brilliant story. I loved the character development....some more than others. I loved some of the events that happened...
The one thing that annoyed me...truly hugely annoyed me, but that didn't mean that I am going to start burning the book. I just can't believe how huge fans of Twilight and Stephenie Meyer have so suddenly, and so quickly turned on her and the books...I seriously HONESTLY cannot see what is so awful about the books...I mean the people I have talked to, my friends, have all like it, they have said it wasn't what they expected [but was it really what anyone expected? Certainly wasn't for me] but they liked it for the most part. And the bit I had issues with none of them had picked up [or it wasn't a major issue for them]. So I don't get what is so dreadful about the book. I think that a few people have hated the book, some people have seen the reviews before/whilst reading the book and it has affected their opinion. Basically the negativity has spread like wildfire, and there seems to be no stop to it.
I don't care if you don't like the book, I don't care if you want to burn it [it's your own money you're wasting] or return it. But I do care when people turn on Stephenie Meyer and start saying she is a shit writer and she sucks. I'm sorry but the book was not badly written, none of her books are...quite the opposite really, and you cannot say that just because you didn't like the way the plot went.
GET OVER IT.
Stop your bitching and moaning and leave the rest of the twilight community in peace.....PLEASE.
