Breaking Dawn Summary of the Book
The story Breaking Down is divided into three invidual books. During part 1 we read about Bella’s wedding and marriage to Edward. They spend their honeymoon on a remote island near the coast of Brazil. During their stay, Bella’s wish comes true when she and Edward make love. Shortly after, Bella becomes aware of her pregnancy when she misses a period. She contacts Carlisle who confirms her suspicions, the couple make plans to return soon after. The fetus develops rapidly, an occurrence that prompts Edward to request she gets an abortion. Unperturbed, Bella resists his pleas and contacts her friend Rosalie, who has wanted children for a long time.
Part two is written from Jacob Black’s perspective, it documents the pregnancy of Bella right through to the birth of her child. The werewolves in the novel are unsure of the child and fear of the danger it poses prompts them to make plans to kill Bella to prevent it’s birth. Naturally, Jacob is strongly opposed to this and revolts. He cuts all ties to the pack and forms his own alongside Leah Clearwater and Seth. Four weeks after conception Bella gives violent birth to the child. In the process she loses a great deal of blood and suffers multiple broken bones. To save her life Edward is forced to embrace and turn her into a vampire. Immediately after the birth Jacob imprints the newborn baby girl Renesmee.
The final part of Breaking Dawn reverts back to Bella’s view point, continuing her story as an excited Vampire who enjoys all the abilities it brings. Irina, another Vampire mistakenly identifies the baby; she believes Renesmee is an “immortal child, one that has been changed to a Vampire. An act the Volturi outlawed previously. Irina informs the Volturi of the act, they then decide to destroy the Cullens and baby Renesmee based on Irina’s allegations. To prove their innocence and save the life of their baby daughter the Cullens gather vampires to stand up as witnesses and help prove to the Volturi the child isn’t an immortal child. The ploy works, the Volturi realize they have been lied to by Irina and immediately sentence her to execution for the mistake. She is killed shortly after. Despite the news of the childs true nature being revealed they are still unsure as to the threat the childs existence brings to the secret lives of vampires. Soon after, the arrival of Jasper and Alice, who too had a human-vampire child return. They prove the child presents no threat with Nahuel, their 150 year old crossbreed son. The Volturi see the truth in these words and promptly leave, safe in the knowledge that vampire-human crossbreeds can co-exist without bringing any undue attention on the vampire’s existence. Bella, Edward and their daughter Renesmee return safely to their home.

Actually it isn’t Jasper and Alice’s 150 year old crossbreed son. It is a vampire scientist’s son who sleeps with women to create a superhuman race. Jasper and Alice never had a child.

i love u twlight saga

This was the perfect summary of breaking dawn it didn’t tell to much of what happens in the book, but it tells just enough to get you interested in reading it. I have not read it yet because im still on the 3rd book, also because i just recently started reading the series. Overall this was the best summary i have read all day, and you should try writing your own vampire books because the way you formatted this was just absolutly perfect.
November 24th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
This is a really good summary of the book. It gave me what i need it to want to continue reading the book. I started “Twilight” on Nov. 15, 2009., and finished “Eclipse” Nov. 22, 2009. So I started “Breaking Dawn” that same day. All four books will be done in less than two weeks. For me that’s a good sign, because in my family, I’m the one that despises reading. (LOL)

hey… u have lots of translation errors
November 27th, 2009 at 11:16 am
Awsome.. I just finished reading Eclipse..Cant w8 to start reading this one.. But mostly cant w8 4 the movies !!
November 27th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
i dont think that bella and edward made love at all that cause bella’s pregnancy. the book says that Edward does not want to make love with her without turning her into a vampire cuz he does not want to hurt her..thats why they are looking for answers of why this impossible things happened to bella existed.
December 5th, 2009 at 5:41 am
oh my gosh the twilight saga was really good..i love it..especially the breaking dawn..i cant wait for the movie of this…
December 10th, 2009 at 11:40 pm

Breaking Dawn is split into three separate parts. The first part details Bella’s marriage and honeymoon with Edward, which they spend on a private island off the coast of Brazil. Two weeks into their honeymoon, Bella realizes that she is pregnant and that her condition is progressing at an unnaturally accelerated rate. After contacting Carlisle, who confirms her pregnancy, she and Edward immediately return home to Forks, Washington. Edward, concerned for Bella’s life and convinced that the fetus is a monster as it continues to develop with unnatural rapidity, urges her to have an abortion. However, Bella feels a connection with the child and refuses.
The novel’s second part is written from the perspective of wolf shape-shifter Jacob Black, and lasts throughout Bella’s pregnancy and childbirth. Jacob’s Quileute wolf pack, not knowing what danger the unborn child may pose, plan to destroy it, also killing Bella. Jacob vehemently protests this decision and leaves, forming his own pack with Leah and Seth Clearwater. Bella soon gives birth, but the baby breaks many of her bones and she loses massive amounts of blood. In order to save her life, Edward changes her into a vampire by injecting his venom into her heart. Jacob, who was present for the birth, almost immediately “imprints”—an involuntary response in which a shape-shifter finds his soul mate—on Edward and Bella’s newborn daughter, Renesmee.
The third section of Breaking Dawn shifts back to Bella’s perspective, finding her changed into a vampire and enjoying her new life and abilities. However, the vampire Irina misidentifies Renesmee as an “immortal child”, a child who has been turned into a vampire. Because “immortal children” are uncontrollable, creating them has been outlawed by the Volturi. After Irina presents her allegation to the Volturi, they plan to destroy Renesmee and the Cullens. In an attempt to survive, the Cullens gather other vampire clans from around the world to stand as witnesses and prove to the Volturi that Renesmee is not an immortal child. Upon confronting the gathered Cullen allies and witnesses, the Volturi discover that they have been misinformed and immediately execute Irina for her mistake. However, they remain undecided on whether Renesmee should be viewed as a threat to vampires’ secret existence. At that time, Alice and Jasper, who had left prior to the confrontation, return with a Mapuche called Nahuel, a 150-year-old vampire-human crossbreed like Renesmee. He demonstrates that the crossbreeds pose no threat, and the Volturi surrender. Edward, Bella and Renesmee return to their home in peace.

Luz I love your story a little better GREAT JOB
January 17th, 2010 at 1:23 am
bella just loves to be in this triangle relationship. she just can’t let go, so annoying
January 28th, 2010 at 4:51 pm
yeah, um alice cant have children…many errors in your summary…i would advise actually reading the book, which explains everything…
“haze”, bella and edward made love..trust me, i read the series 2 times and breaking dawn 3 times…and edward said that they would try to..er..make love…
“algal”, renesmee does grow fast(renee+esme), but it would be years before she was an adult..jacob will be like a best friend to renesmee, then he will be her boyfriend when she is old enough, they are perfect so she won’t want anyone else. while renesmee is a baby, jacob will be like her awesome big brother.
<–lol
February 10th, 2010 at 4:03 pm
Ok, the summary in general is great BUT there are a lot of details you are still missing. Luz your summary was really better than the one written in blue. I think I could give a better summary but maybe in a few days it will be ready.

Where is Dr. Van Helsing and his wooden stakes when you need him? I keep thinking that a girl that is in love with a vampire and best friend is a werewolf should have a big L for loser tattooed on her forehead.

So do u guys think they r gonna make any more movies after breaking dawn??
July 21st, 2010 at 9:28 am
I totaly and completely love the twilight series.
the only thing i dont get is that renesmee is only a baby and it says that jacob imprints on her. then it says that renesmee is a vampire when she is born bt isnt that impossible since when your a vampire you never look any older like u freeze. rosalie said that in Eclipse after she told bella that she imved her.
July 22nd, 2010 at 7:24 am
