Cabin Fever - Breaking Dawn

I went with Jenicee and Cho to Jenicee's cabin, down south.  Our goal was to read Breaking Dawn (the 4th book in the Twilight series) and finish it before returning home.  It was a nice break to know that I didn't have anything to do...Jenicee was ahead of us, so she was trying to keep busy cooking and cleaning and asking us what was happening until we caught up to her. 

Apparently I read differently than they do.  I am not interested in all of the little details, so I read over them quickly and my goal is to finish the book, not ingest the deeper meanings.  I have the ideas of characters in my head and I don't think they are anything like those in the book.  I tried to pay more attention to the looks of the characters, this book, so I wouldn't be so lost when the movies come out.  Alice is not a blonde, Rosalie is not a brunette, Edward is not really tall and big with short black hair, I think that is everyone I'd messed up.

I'm not sure if I liked it or not.  It went totally (TOTALLY) different than I thought it would.  I felt a little like deja vu from book 3 (Eclipse).  I won't write anything more, incase some crazy hasn't already finished it ;)

....I have no frame of reference. I think Twilight is a book written by some Mormon author that every relief society and YWs group has to read as part of their curriculum. Am I close?
