In the explosive finale to the epic romantic saga, Bella has one final choice to make. Should she stay mortal and strengthen her connection to the werewolves, or leave it all behind to become a vampire?

When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?

To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs.

This astonishing, breathlessly anticipated conclusion to the Twilight Saga illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic.

It's here! #1 bestselling author Stephenie Meyer makes a triumphant return to the world of Twilight with the highly anticipated companion, Midnight Sun: the iconic love story of Bella and Edward told from the vampire's point of view.

Can't put it down

Amazonで購入

I read this on my flight from Australia to Japan. Just couldn't put it down to the disapproval of my better half who decided to sleep as I wasn't with anymore...I was there with the Cullens. If you have read all the other books I know you are going to buy this book. If you haven't just order the set like I did after watching the first movie. You won't regret it. Books are always better than the movies.

My most favorite book of all four.

This is the book where even the dreams I've never thought possible or can justify happened. It is all in one. Romance. Thriller, Suspense, Horror, Drama, Action and even Comedy. Yes, definitely Comedy.I still laugh my self to death even now when I remember. It is also the longest of all four but the book that I enjoy reading over and over again. I couldn't stop reading it until I memorize every words.

I believe that this couldn't be more perfect than it is and there is no way I could wish for things to happen differently. It's a book where every good guy ended happy in ways you couldn't possibly imagine.

TwilightからBreaking Dawn。
最初は初恋のドキドキ感９：ファンタジー１と言う感じから
最後はファンタジーの世界へ。。。という感じでした。
スイートなハッピーエンドっていうよりは、ファンタジーだったんだな。。。トワイライトって。
って思い起こさせる１冊でした。

Breaking　Dawnは、他の３冊とは違って途中、中だるみ的なダラダラ感がありましたが
まあまあ一気に読めました。

読み終えてしまった今は、さみしい気持ちがします。
が、映画が楽しみです。

作者のStephenie Meyerさんについては、メタフィジクスな事、知っておられる人なんだなと
ところどころに感じました。
例えば、キラユーテ族の伝説やwerewolfではなくshapeshifterだったということ、なるほどな〜と思いました。

作家のゲリー・ボーネル氏が著作でshapeshifterの女性に会った事があるという話がありました。
その女性は鳥にシフトできるそうです。

話はそれましたが、トワイライトには全体的にそういう他にはあまり見られ無いエッセンスがあったので私にはおもしろく感じました。

読む前は、シリーズの性格上若年層向けHarlequin Romanceだと想像していたのですが…

前半は「年齢認証が必要」とまでは言いませんが、ちょっと若年層向きでない話題で当惑しました。なので、期待せずに読んだのですが、後半は家族愛について考えさせられるような、意外と深い内容でした。
18歳以上の読者にお勧めだと思います。

面白かったことはは面白かったですが…‥

2008年8月15日に日本でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

この1年、第4巻が出るのを楽しみに待ってる間、"もしかしてああなって、ああなってこうなるかも…‥、でもそんなすべてOKなんてなるわけない"って思ってたとおりに話が展開し、驚きました。
まさにアメコミを読んでる気分でした(作者はアメリカ人ですので、無理もないですが)。
何でもあり、結果ハッピーだなんて。3巻までを読んでると、もうちょっとシリアスな話を期待したんですが。

これなら3巻の最後をもう少し何とかして、あれで終わった方がよかったのでは？とも思います。その上、細部それぞれは結構面白く飽きることはないのですが、750ページは必要なかったのでは？と、ややくどいように感じました。でも、これでEdward・Bellaともお別れだと思うと、750ページ、まあいいかと許しちゃいます。

4巻の話の展開にはいまいち納得してませんが、ここまで期待も持たせてくれた3巻までの作者の努力に感謝し、Edward達との別れを惜しんで、星4つとします。

失業期間中に時間つぶしに4冊一気に読みました。
突っ込みどころは満載ですが現実逃避にはもってこいのお話でした。

新婚旅行の行はエドワードとベラの関係は急に中年夫婦のようになってがっかりしましたがベラがヴァンパイアになってからの二人の関係は素敵だと思います。
結局エドワードもベラがヴァンパイアになってからのほうが楽しそうだし・・・
とんでもなく都合よくすべてが丸く収まる物語ですが、「おとぎ話」だと思えばそれもありですね。

How bad can the writing be when you can't put the book down?

2012年2月19日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

This review applies to the Kindle version of the book, purchased through Amazon. This review contains SPOILERS, so if you don't want to know the ending, don't read it. I have to admit that I never read the other books; just watched the movies. I was curious to read the end as I felt that Breaking Dawn 1 didn't end in the right way (Avatar anyone?) However, curiously, when Bella opens her eyes in the book, it was the exact center of the book. I was an English teacher and promoted as an attorney because I was the best writer in my government unit. I did not find the writing terrible, especially as I read the entire book in one night - couldn't put it down. To me, that is good writing. I have a sneaky suspicion that I wouldn't have liked the earlier books. As for "fading to black", this generation has no appreciation of the power of fade to black. Who wants to read all the details of someone else's sexual experience. I think there was plenty of information on the sex as a vampire. In Stephanie Myer's world, becoming a vampire cures all ills, so why not clumsiness too? Of course, her world has nothing to do with the traditional vampire and werewolf legends, the one thing about the series that I didn't like.

What the nay saying reviewers didn't like was, in part, what I did like. I really didn't need to read a full description of a dress. I have an imagination and like to use it. The one thing I agree with is the lack of any anger, disappointment or trying to talk an 18 year old out of getting married. However, as I was married at 19, without too much angst from my parents, it didn't seem as strange to me as it might otherwise have been. Also, Bella is definitely painted as quite obstinate and her father probably knew it was no use so why ruin her day?

The way Stephanie gushes over how beautiful Bella is when human, the transition to vampire beautiful really isn't all that much - no more zits, discoloration of skin, dark circles under eyes, etc. I'll bet that vampirism would actually cure a double chin, but Bella didn't have one as a human. As a woman, I know that there are times I look awful and times I look spectacular. I suppose if I turned into a Stephanie Myers vampire, it would be the spectacular that showed all the time. Also, apparently, there is a glow to the sparkly skin she created for her vampires. I also know that when a woman is graceful, it affects the entire way she looks and is perceived. So, when turned gets rid of your clumsiness and you before graceful, that affects your look as well. A lack of specified description of Bella (other than beautiful) lets the reader use his or her imagination.

You younger generation need to learn that sometimes what isn't spelled out is better than seeing or reading every little detail. Your imagination brain cells have atrophied. You no longer think imagining is a good thing. Watch Casablanca - it's in black and white - and see how affective a movie with no screen sex but plenty of passion is.

Now to the final point - everyone gets what they want and no one has to suffer to get it. Did you not read the part about Bella's suffering that didn't show because of the morphine? Even the movie tried to pick up on that. Apparently, Bella suffered quite a bit to become a vampire. Then she wasn't allowed to see the baby she nearly died for until everyone else said it was ok. Especially as she is described as the strongest of the clan, if I were Bella, I'd have thrown everyone into walls to hold my own child. I can't imagine that even Stephanie's newborns would drink the blood of their own children or parents. Remember, newborns are strong because some human blood remains. Apparently, in Bella's case, some humanity remained as well. Perhaps this was because she spent so much time with Carlisle. How easy did you you think it was for Bella to turn her back on the hikers while hunting? Part of why she was able to do it was because they might have been someone she knew. If she could do that, do you think that she would want to feed on her own child? What if someone put your favorite food close enough to you so that you could smell it, but you knew you had to eat tofu. Could you easily turn from one to the other? These are subtleties that I think the younger generation just doesn't get. Vampires are not supposed to get tired, but Bella had to concentrate so hard in training with her shield that she was exhausted (until she actually got it). Have you ever had to work at something so hard that it gave you a headache or made your body tired? And, even when she "got it", how easy do you think it was for Bella to shield an entire army while facing the Volturri? This is a woman who barely had time to enjoy all the pleasures of her change when she had to abandon them to prepare for a fight? How easy was that? Furthermore, all you males and childless females out there, how easy do you think it is for a mother to prepare to send her child away to keep her safe, especially when she had had such a short time to enjoy the child?

These are not being burned at the stake or losing Edward prices she had to pay, but they were difficult, subtle, pains that hurt almost as much. There was also the pain of thinking Alice was gone for good when Alice was her best friend in the family? Imagine seeing Rosalie, whom you knew wanted to keep the child as her own, was always allowed to hold the child before Bella could? Imagine having the greatest sex in the world and the ability to never get physically tired, but you had to stop to take care of your child. At least at night the child fell asleep so you could go back to sex without feeling you were neglecting her (although the book does describe the mesmerizing feature of Renesmee - that you could watch her sleep for a long long time).

While Bella didn't have to give up Charlie, it's made clear in the book that he would love her no matter what her circumstances were, but just wasn't ready yet to have more than Jacob's transformation ability to deal with. After all, he had dealt with Edward, Carlisle, and Alice in earlier books. And he did rebel when he said "no more lies" because he knew the child wasn't adopted but was Bella's. OK, it might have been interesting if Renesmee tried her hand on your face communication trick on Charlie, but he might have dropped her. It is true that Renesmee's understanding of when she could do things and when she couldn't (and why she couldn't have human blood) is a little out there; but then Stephanie's entire concept of the vampire and werewolf world's drives me crazy, especially as the vampire in love with a human and living in a human world was done so much better by the tv series Forever Knight. If you have never seen this series, rent it or buy it and see how it can be done and still stay true to the real vampire legends. But if you are going to accept Stephanie's world, which you apparently have if you've read the earlier books, then the final book makes perfect sense.

Without having read the earlier books, my thought is that Stephanie Myers grew as a writer rather than the other way around. I look forward to seeing how the screenplay incorporates all of the action and subtleties of the end of this book.

RoyBoy and LuLu's mommy

It is what it is...the final chapter of an author's vision...

2008年8月15日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

People, it's juvenile fiction. I didn't have a way that I had envisioned for it to all work out. I've had a true best friend of the opposite sex, been in love with my soul mate, had children... and to me, all the plots, story lines and character developments were not THAT unbelievable. It basically just depends on your point of view and you personal life experiences. It's all subjective.

I liked the first three books, thought the characters were interesting and engaging and I wanted to see the author's vision for how their story ends (or continues indefinitely...or whatever). It's not my book. I didn't write it. I don't wish that I could change aspects of the book to fit what I would have preferred. It is what it is...the final chapter of an author's vision.

To have a child with your soul mate is an unbelievable occurrence. It's life changing. Period. You no longer are the same person. You ARE a protector. Everyday, even in mundane tasks. OK, Bella changed. She grew and matured, much faster than she normally would have had to with all the supernatural catalysts in her life. I expected it. Rejoiced in it with her. I was happy for her in the end. Even with the maturation of her character, she was always considered "special." The first three books gave us this insight with her natural ability to shield her mind from supernatural powers and the enormous capacity for love, regardless of circumstances (Edward, Jacob, etc.) There's been a lot of flack about this natural extension into her immortal life via the "love shield" as some would call it, but it's really a logical and natural extension of Bella herself...It would seem illogical and too convenient to me if it hadn't been such a deeply rooted theme regarding her character in the first books.

I dunno, I guess I don't get all the intense criticism.

To say that she got it all without sacrificing anything is laughable. Bella, as the heroine, went through a lot. Either she was battered, bruised and fighting for her life or she was so emotionally torn up (and not just for Edward...), she couldn't function. In every book she faced (and barely escaped) near death experiences. There were two in this book with the pregnancy/immortality and the Volturi. I'm confused; did people not want her to survive somewhat unscathed? I thought that was the point of a good love story/soap opera. You endure a lot for your happily ever after.

The whole thing about marriage at age 18 was a sacrifice for her. It's not what she wanted. It was a concession for her. She didn't really want kids, but when faced with the real alternative of a child growing in her womb, she changed. Nothing wrong with that. I thought that was very realistic.

Bella never wanted to be taken care of. Another concession on her behalf. Ok, he's rich, but what hero in a fantasy love story isn't? I would have found it more unbelievable if he had lived a century and hadn't found a way to acquire wealth. If she gripes in the beginning, she will have lots of time to get over it and deal with it. Also believable.

I really didn't want to hear full details about Edward and Bella's sex life. The innuendos were enough for me and perfect for general young adult fiction.

To me, the book sends a message that young love, marriage and sexual intercourse come with heavy consequences, BUT if you can work through the issues, it can work out in the end. But again, it may not be the best choice. I may be alone in this, but being severely bruised up during sex, getting violently ill and turning up pregnant unexpectedly, and having the baby tear your body up from the inside out does NOT paint a pretty picture of early marriage, intercourse and the birthing experience. Not to mention the myriad of issues the actual baby caused once born. If I was a teen, I would be like "Dag...I thought it was going to be so different, like sunshine and roses once she got married to her true love, turned into a vampire and had a baby..." Yeah, it turned out great in the end, but not before a lot of physical pain and mental anguish. Just like life can sometimes be. Again, I thought this was pretty realistic.

I thought Edward was doing what he thought he had to in order to preserve Bella's life that hung so precariously in the world of nearly indestructible immortals. When he had to, he offered her choices within the boundaries that would still keep her safe. She wasn't immortal. She needed help and protection to stay alive. If he was so controlling and manipulative, he would not have gone along with her wishes to have the baby. Most times he felt helpless.

I'm glad Jacob found his true soul mate. I'm glad that it happened to be Bella's daughter. The biological aspects of imprinting to me dismissed the notion that Nessie was Jacob's second choice. Imprinting goes above and beyond the human notion of love as demonstrated by Leah and Sam. Yes, Nessie is an extension of Bella, but he imprinted with her because it was their destiny. He still loves Bella, but it pales in comparison (much like what Bella may have felt for Jacob while with Edward). His focus is now the child, but again he obviously still cares for and loves Bella. It's convenient, I know, but it works for me. Not implausible.

Sheeesh. The characters in the story went through an awful lot to get to where they ended up in the end. Everyone struggled and everyone sacrificed. Physically, but most importantly, emotionally. Everyone. No one escaped unscathed in some way. To me, this made the ending all that much more satisfying.

This book is still all about choice and sacrifice. Not only of the central characters, but of peripheral characters (vampires, wolves AND humans) some newly introduced in this book. EVERYONE had choices to make, central to their survival. Some were easier than others, but still all made choices.

I hadn't planned to write this much, but the thoughts came easily, so I did...

Again, I think it's subjective. Many people have strong feelings about the characters and how they believe the story should end.

Read it for yourself and decide. I'd also recommend reading the first three in succession before you read this one. I did. I was surprised at the elements I missed the first time around or had forgotten about. The story felt more like a natural continuation and I relied on printed words to fuel my thoughts about the book rather my somewhat distorted memory of the first three.

I am an eternal optimist. I love the underlying theme of hope. You may struggle fiercely through the night, but joy will (and SHOULD) come in the morning. The title was extremely appropriate...

Breaking Dawn: an opinion in 10 parts

2008年8月3日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

**Spoilers Inside**

I highly anticipated this book (probably most people who have posted reviews did as well). The book brought on several emotions for me which I will break down in detail. I will not recount the entire plot of the novel, only key points to make comments on.

1. The wedding - the wedding was beautiful and I was glad to see that Bella finally saw her human self as being beautiful. It was nice to see Jacob back, but he did ruin the mood once Bella mentioned the honeymoon and that angered me. The wedding and reception were shorter than I would have like it to be, but there were more important story lines to explore.

2. The honeymoon (part 1)- I thought Meyer did a fabulous job of conveying Edward and Bella's intimacy without being smutty. She reinforced the sanctity of marriage before sex which I believe is a fabulous message to young readers.

3. The honeymoon (part 2) - I was livid once I realized that Bella was pregnant; and, honestly, it was obvious that Meyer would go in that direction from all of the foreshadowing in Eclipse and in Bella's nightmares. I was horrified that a. Bella wanted to keep the baby and b. she ran to Rosalie for help. I could not refer to the baby as such, instead I deemed it vampire spawn. I felt that Edward was a blubbering idiot during this section and I wanted to smack both him and Bella and tell them to pull it together.

4. Jacob's section - I was so extremely angry and frustrated with Bella that Jacob's voice was immediately refreshing. His quips between him and Rosalie kept the mood light when everything else was not. I love that he matured in this section and was not the egotistical idiot that I once deemed him to be. I rooted for him as he took charge and took what was rightfully his - his postion as Alpha. I do admit that the imprintation on Renesmee was a complete and utter shock to me. Given the circumstances it is strange, but it also made complete sense. By incorporating the imprinting on Renesmee into the storyline, it opened up the communication between the wolf packs, allowed for peace to finally come between Jacob and Edward, and created a solid alliance between the wolves and the vampires. As for those who believe that this imprintation promotes pedophilia, I believe that they are misunderstanding the delicate balance and nature of the situation. Yes, Renesmee is just a baby, but no, Jacob is not thinking of her in a romantic or sexual nature. Jacob is first and foremost a guardian and a soulmate. He is not rushing her to grow up, but encouraging her to enjoy her childhood. Jacob will remain a teenager until he decides to give up his shape-shifting ways. Renesmee will become a full grown adult in just seven years and then they can live their happily ever after. For now, he is more a body guard and friend than a lover.

5. Bella- Not exactly the transformation she had in mind, but her tranformation took place because it needed to and not only because she wanted it. It was nice to Bella finally believe in herself and not rely on others. I really felt that Nessie and Bella's relationship was not as close of a bond as it should be. I also felt that Edward seemed somewhat detached from Nessie, and not very fatherly. I was relieved that she did not have to hide from Charlie and that he was somewhat in on their secret life, but I couldn't help but think - what about Renee? She is barely mentioned beyond the wedding. Poor Renee. I was, however, extremely excited to finally see Bella hold her own and become a stronger character once she transformed. I thought her power was amazing and for once she was the one who saved the day.

6. Renesmee - What an awful name. I get that it's a combination of Renee and Esme, but it's still hideous. I hope that fans do not become inspired to name their daughters after her. I did not want Nessie (a name even worse than Renesmee) to be born. I thought she would be an evil spawn that would destroy the characters I have known and loved. Once she was introduced, I, like the characters in the book, melted. How could you not love her? Yes, the Jacob imprinting was weird, but it gave Jacob a purpose in life and created an improved alliance with the Cullens and a reconciliation with his own pack. She was the key to pulling together the vampire clans to prevent the destructions of the Cullens. I really would like to learn more about her character and to see her grow...a Meyer spin-off perhaps?

7. Alice's role- I was aggravated that Alice did not have a voice throughout most of this book. I enjoy Alice's character and thought that she really did not have much purpose in this novel. I was extremely angry when she and Jasper left, but I had a feeling they would be back. Alice quickly redeemed herself in the final chapters, but I still hold a slight grudge.

8. The vampire clans - It was extremely interesting to meet the characters that had been mentioned previously but not introduced. With their help, Bella was able to become the strongest weapon in the group - for the first time. I thought the scene with the Volturi would have turned more violent and found myself somewhat disappointed that it did not turn into a showdown, but I was happy with the end result.

9. The happily ever after - Yes, this story had a happy ending. Did anyone remember that Stephenie Meyer's favorite author is Jane Austen? Austen was also a firm believer in her characters getting whatever they desired. Meyer's ending was no different. The characters had conflict in all the books, but it was resolved. Any conflict, no matter how large it may seem can be resolved. Yes, everything worked out conveniently well and there is no longer discord. The overwhelming theme was not that you do not have to make choices in life because everything will work out for the best, but rather, love does conquer all. It is a universal theme - with love anything can be and is possible - isn't that a lesson we can all agree on? Instead of a bloody war torn ending, there was a peaceful resolution - we can only dream of this happening more in real life. Yes, everything worked out for our beloved characters. What else was to be expected? This was a fantasy, no, I'm wrong - this was a FAIRY TALE! How could a reader not expect all the pieces of the puzzle to fit together when all along it seemed like a fairy tale - the knight in shining armor, the damsel in distress, the evil Volturi...(Meyer makes several allusions to literary fairy tales). Readers need to remember that this is not a work of nonfiction. It is not a work of realistic fiction. It is a fairy tale and everyone got their happily ever after.

10. I am going to miss these books and these characters. May they live forever on library shelfs and in the minds of their truly devoted fans. Bring on Midnight Sun!

Such a good series. Kinda think the films ending is better but still a cool ending. I'm sure I will read this series again somewhere down the line.

Although I went to the release party, I pre-ordered my copy on Amazon and had to agonizingly wait until yesterday for my copy to arrive. Curiously, I checked to see how many stars readers were giving this book, and was horrified to see just how many 1-stars it had (and this was hours after its release). I didn't read the reviews but was prepared for the worst.

I just finished reading it.

Let me first say that I read books for enjoyment, not to analyze them for messages they may be sending out to readers (I'm an English major- I reserve that stuff for work not pleasure). I noticed that people complain a lot by the decisions Bella makes and how the author is somehow `copping out' by giving her "everything" she wants in the end. Readers should remember that these characters are fictional. It seems kind of silly for me to judge their decisions as if they were real. But you must take a character's personality, their character, into consideration with their decisions. Some reviews made it sound like Bella simply wanted to have her husband, become a vampire, and have a family; and that it all turned out that way so easily for her made this book terrible. (Can't imagine what those reviewers have to say about classic fairy tale's endings where princesses always end up with their princes.) It's not that Bella simply wanted these things and then BOOM she got them. She was a zombie for months in New Moon, willing to commit suicide to distract Victoria in Eclipse, risking her life to reach Edward in Italy, agonized over and over countless times about the pain she was causing, or the pain she was feeling. She suffered through a lot and fought pretty damn hard to try to acquire her dreams, bring happiness to others, and feel happy herself. Personally I am very glad she got her happy ending! Wouldn't it just break your heart if our endearing Bella suffered through all that to only fail at the end and conclude her story alone and miserable trying to put up a facade to keep loved ones from worrying about her?

Something that really bothers me is when reviewers say things like Stephenie Meyer let them down or disappointed them! As an aspiring writer myself, such remarks really irk me! Real writers, who truly enjoy writing, don't write to please readers. They write for themselves; they write because they enjoy the process and enjoy giving birth to these amazing stories and characters. Some writers don't want their work read. They don't want the attention or the criticism. If Stephenie really wanted to, she could have easily milked out these books, have the love triangle last longer. She would have made a lot more money and fame. But that wasn't the goal here. If Stephenie ever reads this by some off chance, I'd like to thank her for publishing her work. She has a gift for storytelling, and I was impressed not only by the compelling fluidity and vividness of the way she tells stories, but of the endearing characters she creates and the way that they grow and develop as the story progresses. I admire all that she's done and if I happen to disagree with anything in her books I'm certainly not going to complain to the author that she's a let down and a cop out.

I think Breaking Dawn was well written and holds the same style as the rest of the series. True it is a little fast paced at times when suddenly a week or month has passed here or there. I was a little thrown off by the sudden perspective change to Jacob 100 pages in (but in terms of storyline, the plot would be impossible if it remained in Bella's perspective, or shifted to anyone but Jacob, because until Jacob went to the Cullen's house, the characters were at a standstill in their situation). Readers have judged Bella for getting married at eighteen, for deciding she wanted to live a little longer because she discovered her sexual relationship with Edward, or because she became so maternal when she found out that she was pregnant. Bella's always been a mature character and became a legal adult. She knew she wanted to spend her life with Edward and had both his love and support as well as that of his family. In that circumstance, being so sure, why is it wrong for her to marry him? If she thought that once she became a vampire all her senses would change and she wouldn't be herself again for a very long time, is it wrong for her to want to stay human a little longer to enjoy her new physical relationship with Edward? I myself don't plan on having kids yet, but if I loved anyone as intensely as she loved Edward, the thought of having his child (after discovering it was already conceived) would not really freak me out after realizing it was possible. She loved Edward so much and here she had the opportunity to have his child- an Edward Jr.

I don't know, but it seems to me that some of the complaints on why this book is bad seem to be thought only from what the reader him/herself perceives to be the action they would or should take were they in that position without considering the characters themselves or the world they live in.

I think all Twilight fans should give the book the chance it deserves. Watch how characters grow and come together. Don't analyze it as promoting wrong messages to teens or judge a character's actions. Just enjoy it for what it is- a well-told and creative story.
