 BREAKING DAWN
• BREAKING DAWN is the fourth and second to final novel in The Twilight Saga by American
author Stephenie Meyer. Divided into three parts, the first and third sections are written
from Bella Swan's perspective and the second is written from the perspective of Jacob Black.
The novel directly follows the events of the previous novel, Eclipse, as Bella and Edward
Cullen get married, leaving behind a heartbroken Jacob. When Bella faces unexpected and
life-threatening situations, she willingly risks her human life and possible vampire
immortality.
• Breaking Dawn was released on August 2, 2008 at midnight release parties in over 4,000
bookstores throughout the US.[1] From its initial print run of 3.7 million copies, over 1.3
million were sold in the US and 20,000 in the UK in the first 24 hours of the book's release,
setting a record in first-day sales performance for the Hachette Book Group USA.[2] The book
was highly successful, selling over 6 million copies in 2008, and was the third best-selling
novel of 2008 behind Twilight and New Moon.
• Unlike the series' previous two entries, Breaking Dawn received mixed reviews from critics. It
is also the most controversial book of the series, as adult themes and concepts are explored
more directly than in its predecessors. However, the novel was awarded the British Book
Award for "Children's Book of the Year". It was translated in 38 languages with rights sold to
over 50 countries. The book has been adapted into a two-part movie, with the first
part released on November 18, 2011 and the second part released on November 16, 2012.
