    The fourth and final chapter of Stephenie Meyer's TWILIGHT series is sure to please readers.

    Bella has a tough decision ahead of her: eternal life or death. Should she live forever with the love of her life, her
    fiancé and vampire Edward Cullen? Or should she choose life -- and maybe her best friend who is completely in love
    with her, Jacob Black -- and face death that will eventually come?

    That is the big decision that Bella faces, but of course the road down the path to the outcome isn't easy. Many events
    happen that alter Bella's life forever, leaving both the reader and Bella dazed.

    BREAKING DAWN ends the series very nicely. Throughout its seven-hundred pages, the reader is engrossed in the
    drama and action-packed tale of an ordinary girl in a pseudo-ordinary world. The reader should be cautioned that fits
    of increased heart rate and frustration might raise the desire to hurl the book across the room while reading this last
    installment of the very popular series.

    While some could argue that there is simply too much "drama" -- so much at times that it seems another book may
    have been of better benefit to the readers' health -- the book is nevertheless entertaining and delightful.
