I, too, have finished reading the book. I don't think there was anything graphic enough to justify not adding it to your collection, even in a middle school. Meyer did do a good job at letting the reader know what was going on without giving any details of a graphic nature (other than several pieces of destroyed furniture). It brought to mind the romance scenes in old movies where the screen faded to black and left things to your imagination. >>> Pat Hoppe <Marbeth2@AOL.COM> 08/06/08 10:05 PM >>> Good Evening, I just finished reading Breaking Dawn. I couldn't put it down. Meyer knows how to write a story! I won't go into lots of details because I don't want to spoil the book totally for readers. Edward & Bella marry, make love, and so on in the book. Stephanie doesn't use any graphic language to describe the events. Yes, this book is more mature than the other 3 books. I have concerns about placing it in my middle school library. On the other hand, I know Twilight readers will demand the 4th book. Is there a way to have it in my library? I don't want to be the book police, but I know it should be restricted in some manner. (please don't stone me) Do I use a permission slip for check out? Any ideas on how to handle this situation? Thanks so much for any advice.
