Read the First Chapter of Stephenie Meyer’s Breaking Dawn!

Book Cover:  Breaking Dawn by Stephenie MeyerWell, it’s not the entire first chapter but it’s the beginning! You can read the beginning of Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer at Entertainment Weekly.

So head on over to whet your appetites and get your hormones going.

But check back here tomorrow, because guess what tomorrow is? The unveiling of the book cover and yes, the entire first chapter! Why tomorrow? Because that’s when the Eclipse Special Edition comes out. Have you ever seen such a fuss over a book cover? Even, I want to know what it will look like.

Pre-order Breaking Dawn through Amazon and the Eclipse Special Edition through Amazon (because I know you want the Team Edward and Team Jacob tattoos). I have a feeling if you want to read this one before it’s spoiled for you, you’ll have to buy it. There are already more than 1200 holds for this at my local library. Plus, it’s only $12.  Hardback.  Not bad.

  14. I adore the Twilight Series! They are my favorite books forever! I only got a peek at the first chapet to Breaking Dawn and I have been begging some one to take me to Borders so I can finish reading it!

    For all of you who don’t know… you can find the first chapter of Breaking Dawn in a special edition Eclipse.

  15. Has anyone ever wondered what life would be like for Bella if she chose Jacob? I wonder if she would be happier… I know I wouldn’t! I want Bella to stay with Edward but I feel bad for Jacob (even though he bugs the heck out of me).

    I’m going to go crazy if Stephenie Meyer makes Bella choose Jacob for some random reason in Breaking Dawn!

    on July 1st, 2008 at 4:06 pm
  16. If Bella and Edward don’t say together I swear I’ll stab someone. I will contiue looking for the first chapter of Breaking Dawn since this retarted page didn’t help AT ALL!

    on July 1st, 2008 at 8:26 pm
  17. Rihannabanana - Well, what this “retarded page” tells you is that if you follow the link (bolded above) to Entertainment Weekly, you will in fact see a sneak peak to the FIRST CHAPTER OF BREAKING DAWN in full for your reading pleasure! Try reading the content and you’ll see that you’ve indeed found what you’re looking for. Happy reading!

    on July 1st, 2008 at 8:40 pm
  18. i cant find the first chapter ANYWHERE! i need help. but i love the twilight series sooo much. im obsessed. im going to read the first chapter of breaking dawn at the bookstore this weekend but i want to read it soo bad that i cant wait till then. ughh.

    on July 2nd, 2008 at 7:07 am
  19. I dont know what to feel. I just finished Eclipse, and I cant stop crying but I am so happy. But I love Jacob Black SO much and I really wanted Bella to pick him, but I also love Edward and want her to pick him……. gggrrrrrr. Bit I more empathise with Jacob because.. well I think he seems more human than Edward, but maybe its because he is feeling the pain of Bella not choosing him, and I would probably like Edward more if Bella chose Jacob. I just want to read the next book!!! Ive read the 1st chapter and the 1st chapter of Midnight Sun (p.s does any1 know when that will be published) and I love them so much… AND THE MOVIE. I just feel sick because I sont know what happens next. I think I might start at the beginning again…

    Note: It is a violation of copyright law to post the first chapter of Breaking Dawn. Stephenie Meyer isn’t even allowed to have it on her own site. That’s why the link is above in the post to read the first chapter. I never had the first chapter written out here and I don’t intend to. Follow the link to read it. PLEASE DO NOT COPY AND PASTE THE FIRST CHAPTER INTO THE COMMENTS HERE!

    Thank you.

  26. thanks again (: ^^^

    on July 14th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
  27. What I think we all need to realize is this: EW has put out a “sneak peak” into the first chapter of Breaking Dawn. Follow the link in the post above and you can read that. If you are looking to find the entire first chapter of Breaking Dawn online, well, bad news, you simply can’t. Why not? Because it’s a violation of copyright law. Anybody heard of that? I had a commentator copy and paste the entire first chapter into the comments here. It was up for about a day before I was able to delete it but Hatchette Book Group was quick and I was up against legal repercussions. So that’s why you won’t find anybody posting it.

    If you would like to read it, I suggest you go to your local bookstore and read it. OR just wait for another 20 some odd days because the entire book will be out before you know it.

    on July 14th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
  28. ashl3y (Edward/Jacob love) - I clearly state in the post that it is a sneak peak. I apologize for the confusion. Hope you are able to read it soon.

    on July 14th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
  29. This is stupid.
    Where is the REAL first chapter.
    Whats the matter with you?

    on July 14th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
  30. Megan - What’s the matter with me? What’s the matter with you? I don’t know how many times I can state the following: it is against copyright to post the entire first chapter of Stephenie Meyer’s Breaking Dawn. Follow the link to read a preview, visit your local bookstore to read it in Eclipse, on second thought just buy Eclipse or seriously, just wait it out.

    Am I beginning to sound like a broken record?

    on July 14th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
  31. OMG
    I just can’t wait for BReaking Dawn to come out
    I read the first chapter int eh 3 min. it was actually out

    on July 19th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
  32. hey i am so excited for the first chapter i feel like i am going to explode waiting for it. When is the whole first chapter going to be on the website? I am so excited to read it I just love these books!!!!

    on July 19th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
  33. I’ve looked everywhere for the 1st chapter of breaking dawn i don’t think she really can post the whole 1st chapter. It is so sad i really looked forward to reading it.

    on July 19th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
  34. Heart Pounding
    blood pumping
    seisure throwing action!
    Be patient little grasshopper. We understand that the cliffhanger is killer, but can we All pick a side? How do you feel when the choice is now between you & your destined other half? If I put myself in Bella’s shoes, well to be honest its hard for me to see why the girl kept such a close relationship with Jacob even though she was committed to Edward. I am hoping reaaally hoping Stephanie can make this next book a masterpiece, with all the fans she has from my angle she looks she couldn’t afford a little disapointment. I won’t even go there. But from one fan to another can’t we all agree Stephanie has been the one person to enlighten our lives? Please never forget this woman.

    on July 24th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
  35. hi i love the twilight series i really want to read the whole first chapter i keep reading the books over and over so pretty please tell us where we can find the 1st chapter

    on July 25th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
  37. Andrea - You can find the first chapter at the end of the new edition of Eclipse which you can find at your local bookstore. Just another week and we’ll get to read the whole thing!

    on July 26th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
  38. 1 week!

    on July 26th, 2008 at 8:49 pm

  43. i can’t find it anywere either and Natasha Maw you are really bugging me with all your good girl stuff

    on July 28th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
  44. Alice - I know, I know. But seriously, somebody typed in the entire first chapter as a comment and I was immediatly notified by Hatchette Book Group (S.M’s publisher) that I was facing legal ramifications. Seriously, why would I want to do that? No choice here.

    on July 28th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
  45. I know i believe you but when you’re at home in constant antisapation you kinda get a little bugged when people aer telling you you can’t read it untill the day of (which i don’t get my copy untill the 6th)it kinda bugs you
