If I ever wanted anyone to be permanently horrified at the very thought of being pregnant or giving birth, Breaking Dawn is what I would give them. It should be handed out to hormonal teenage girls everywhere.

ETA: You know, you think you're prepared for Breaking Dawn because you've read about it. BUT NOTHING PREPARES YOU FOR IT. GOD IN HEAVEN, WHAT IS THIS WOMAN ON? It must be good stuff. Possibly she shares a dealer with J.R. Ward.

ETA 2: I just... Look, there's no words for any of this. I think I might need therapy after this. There's only so much the human mind can take.

ETA 3: I think after this it will be time for me to read Proust. And perhaps some Pindar. Yeah, impossible Greek might have a chance to make my memories of this fade. OH GOD, PLEASE MAKE IT STOP.

ETA 4: After Pindar maybe some Lucretius. I won't skip a single line about atoms smashing into each other. Maybe that will stop my mind screaming at me?

I think the worst thing is the the nomming of Bella's belly isn't actually the worse or most horrifying part of the book.

I can't decide if the worst thing is the baby's name or the imprinting at birth. Or is it something else?

So far it's the imprinting. And perhaps the hunting scene. I mean, the demon child birth is just regular horror - the rest of it is something else entirely. WHAT THE HELL? EVEN THE TODDLER IMPRINTING DIDN'T PREPARE ME FOR THIS.

Okay, now it's the baby reacting to being imprinted. HOLY GOD IN HEAVEN, WILL THIS NEVER END?

The most frightening thing is that these books are considered wholesome just because there's no premarital sex.
