Done...finally

Just like seemingly all of the free world, I've been reading the Twilight series and tonight finally finished the final book. Here are my thoughts on the series:
For a book that droned on for 750 pages, it ended rather abruptly. As though the author received a phone call from the publisher indicating the book must be completed by the end of the day. Hurry up, wrap it up and put a bow on it. Just like the other books, we are tortured with painful details about insignificant thoughts but when the real action starts, she quickly moves on. Some characters I liked more than others and while I won't go into a detailed character breakdown, I will just share that I believe the character development was minuscule at best. And in my ever humble opinion, I believe stories that end "and they all live happily ever after" belong in cartoon form and preferably with the charming addition of a nameless prince. For those of us who have moved on from such fairy tales, please provide a little more substance.

The end.

I to was hoping for a tragic ending...Breaking Dawn could have ended at the end of Jacobs part and I would have been much more pleased! Does that make me a horrible person? :)
