Book Reviews of Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)
Book Review: It made me fall in love again!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book awakened my long stilled heart and reminded me of the joy of falling helplessly in love. Even though I am in my 50's, I could clearly relate to the characters. I once again felt passion by falling in love with Edward. I think the mass hysteria preceding the movie's release says volumes about the book and its affect on the hearts of women around the world. Millions of women around the world fell in love again through Bella's eyes. What a powerful wonderful emotion to feel again! Thank you Stephenie Meyers!Book Review: Just Like Falling In Love
Summary: 5 Stars
I really felt like I was in high school again with a huge crush on a mysterious and most beautiful guy ... a wonderful chase ... and I fell madly in love.
The only bad part about the book was that it left me frustrated ... No adult moments in this book for teens. But it most definitely teased me.
I have since read the rest of the books in the series -- almost done with Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final book. None of them are as good as Twilight. In fact, now that the romantic chase is over, I'm pretty bored. But I keep reading because I desperately need that closure ... What happens to Bella and Edward?
As for what I've seen of the soon-to-be-released movie: the casting is all wrong ... the movie is never as good as the book. Don't let the movie ruin it for you. Read the book first.
Book Review: my favorite book
Summary: 5 Stars
As a female high school freshman, I automatically fell in love with Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Although the first few chapters are slow it's not long until you can't enough of this action packed love story. At first it just seems like a simple high school relationship, on her first day, Bella Swan develops a crush on her mysterious lab partner Edward Cullen. That crush quickly develops into love and Bella and Edward and faced with a dilemma. Edward is a vampire that thirsts for Bella's blood and as much as he'd love to taste it he won't because he loves her. As Edward gets used to his thirst he only falls more in love with Bella. Like any girl my age, I love a good love story but this book isn't only a romance novel. Twilight is also full of action and suspense. Shortly after Edward and Bella fall in love they're faced with a problem, James, another vampire, wants to kill Bella and won't stop hunting her until he does. If James kills Bella then Edward will be alone forever. If James kills Edward then Bella will be alone. You can't put down the book because you want them to be together so bad but you don't know if both of them will make it. Edward and Bella's story will make you wish you could fall in love with a vampire. Stephenie Meyer does a fabulous job at writing, you actually feel like you're living the story. Twilight isn't a very challenging read but it's definitely worth it. Everyone can relate with this book. It is my favorite book and if you read it I think it could become your favorite too!Book Review: Why is the author even compared to Anne Rice?
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the worst book that I have ever read in my life! Belle is so pathetic and weak. The first 8 chapters (300+ pages) are so incredibly boring and they all revolve around Belle being enamored by Edward (in which he hardly makes any appearances). Not only do these events occur, but it gets old reading about Belle talking about the stupid rain CONSTANTLY. The rest of the book involves Belle being rescued over and over again. The characters in this novel lack so much character.
Just the idea of a vampire in high school makes me want to laugh up my insides. THIS IS NOT A BOOK FOR VAMPIRE LOVERS!!!! Believe me.
Book Review: One of the worst books I have ever read....
Summary: 1 Stars
I read this book a few months ago purely out of curiosity. I had noticed it was getting quite popular and was often compared to Harry Potter. I have been a huge Harry Potter fan for the past eight years, so I was interested to see what the two had in common, and why it's so popular. I'm still searching for the answer to both of those questions. It was seriously one of the worst books I have ever read.
It was not a challenge at all to read, which I suppose could be one of the reasons why it's getting a lot of hype - even the slowest of the slow can understand it. The plot has potential, but over 80 percent of the time, I felt like I was reading a fan-fic written by a thirteen-year-old based off a bigger, better novel.
Also, another thing that really bugged me was the vampire traits. I understand if Meyer wanted to change things up a bit from the normal, stereotypical vampire, but a writer has to keep some elements the same, or else people will have no idea what they're talking about. I mean...come on... Body glitter? Seriously...
Good try, Stephanie Meyer, but you're not Rowling, no matter what your naive, teenage, desperate, female fan-base may say.
