  • jacqueline:

    cangrats to stephanie. im not really shocked, fans definitely show tyheir support when it comes to staphanie and twilight.

    and i know, children’s book??? can you see a 6 year old girl reading breaking dawn and actually understanding and empathizing with bella, thats kinda weird. i would call the book more as a young adult to adult novel.

  • Taryn:

    Haha, they do realize there’s a LOT of sex in that book, right? Oh, well. Congrats!

    CONGRATS TO STEPHANIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BREAKING DAWN ISN’T REALLY A CHILDRENS BOOK BUT OH WELLS IT’S A TERRIFIC BOOK ALL THE SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALONG WITH THE OTHER 3 BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

  • Cali:

    ok i already left a comment ^^ but i just wanted to say that yeah, BD…a children’s book? come on! theres a ton of s e x in there, and i cant imagine someone under the age of ten reading it. i know an eleven year old who has o.O my school librarian says its for 9-12 GRADE, which makes it an official young adult book. who cares tho, right? i got my principal to read them. BAHAHAHAHA. it was hilarious. she was hooked, as im sure anyone reading this is. ok so this is a pretty long comment, especially for a second one xD. anyway, ILY STEPH!!! KEEP ON WRTING MIDNIGHT SUN!!!

  • daniela:

    yay i actually voted for breaking dawn twice!
    :D

  • Vampire K:

    Go Stephanie!
    P.S. Daniela Hernandez HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!: )

  • Karen:

    Congrats I cant wait for that movie have read book twice Breaking Dawn makes the whole Twilight saga it will be the best ever. Again congrats. Oh dont let them mess that movie up

  • twihard:

    Thats great, congrats, Stephanie! But… well Breaking Dawn isn’t a kids book… although I’m all for people reading the twilight saga (coz it is AMAZING!), it really annoys me when I see 10 year olds reading it. Anyone with me?

  • Rose:

    first three books: AMAZING AND AWESOME BEYOND BELIEF!!!!!!!!!!!
    Breaking Dawn : lost everything and sucked. Its not a children’s book and quite frankly it doesn’t have the same characters of the characters in the first three. oh well, my opinion. dont comment on this if you disagree, I know many who also hate it.
    BUT FIRST THREE ARE FREAKING AWESOME!

  • Jacs:

    Sorry I agree with Rose..Loved the first three books but I’m afraid I was totally bored with Breaking Dawn.. and as a mom, Bella’s little baby was freaky and over the top, uncomfortable read for me. But I’m still a fan.

  • Rose:

    YES! think you JACS for agreeing with me! Renesmee was freaky and quite fankly and disturbing little creature. Now I’m not a mom, but the baby was a wrong thing to add. Bella and Edward wouldn’t have been so stupid either.

  • Rose:

    sorry, I meant *THANK not think. lol
