The Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer

This book deserves 5 stars

I definitely loved all three of the books. It’s so passionate and shows how involved the two main characters are. As for Bella (the human), her being so `plain’ just shows the readers that even someone as beautiful as Edward can fall in love with anyone. So basically it’s just proving that it depends on your character and I think that’s a good message to send out to people. So, if you like romances, this book is defiantly for you!

This book was really amazing, I felt in tune with the main character/narrator, Bella. I couldn’t put it down, it was most definitely a page turner! P.S. The next book in the series is called New Moon!!

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

This book deserves 5 stars.

I really liked this book, I only wish I could have given it more stars. It’s about this girl who goes to stay with her father in Forks, Washington (her parents are divorced). Her life is very dull until she meets a very good-looking boy. He saves her live countless times (she’s very clumsy) and she begins to fall in love with him. Then he reveals a very big secret about him and his family: they’re all vampires.

This book deserves 1 star.

If there was an option of giving negative stars, I would. Anyone who has read quality literature like from Anne Rice, Laurell K. Hamilton, or Kevin Brooks, knows that this series is nothing to be amazed with. The main character is flat and has no real personality. Everything is cliche and predictable. The character’s backgrounds aren’t told until the third book in the series. The word “eyes” can be found on every page at least once. And I don’t know about you, but if I found out my friend was a vampire, I would not respond with something like “Oh really? That’s cool. I’m going to google vampires to see what you are really about.” And my personal favorite, when vampires go out in the sunlight, they shimmer. They glitter and sparkle! It can’t get any more queer than that.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

This book deserves 1 star.

“Don’t get me wrong, I love a good vampire book, but this novel was one of the worst I have ever read. The plot was predictable- of course the vampires were Edward and the outcasts in school who everyone was afraid of. Even though there was nothing remotely special or interesting about the main character, Bella, somehow it seems that every male who comes in contact with her falls in love. No plot or problem is introduced until the last hundred pages. The events range from Bella tripping, Edward saving her, Bella almost getting hit by a car, Edward saving her. See a pettern emerging? The only character who had a personality was Jacob- the werewolf. The title has nothing to do with the book. Meyers focuses and repeats the same exact description on almost every page- eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes. Putting a unique spin or twist on vampires is fine-for example, having them fly, grow more powerful with age, read thoughts, etc. However, every vampire book still holds true to one main fact-that vampires can’t go in sunlight! Because, after all, they’re VAMPIRES! In Twilight, the only repurcussion for stepping out into the sun is glowing and glittering. Overall, the book is a total cliche and a complete waste of time. It’s popularity definitely procedes it. “

Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

What is it about vampires that people find sexy? I’ve never quite understood the fascination with being made the meal of a blood-thirsty creature of the night. Anne Rice certainly made a career out of showing the exotic side of vampires, and now Stephenie Meyer has done the same thing for the young adult audience.

This series is quickly becoming a juggernaut. If it will ever overtake Harry Potter in terms of ubiquitous popularity remains to be seen, but these books are insanely popular. Eclipse is the third in the series, and like Harry Potter, they must be read in order. Twilight, New Moon, and now Eclipse follow the exploits of Bella Swan, who moves to Forks, Washington, to live with her sheriff father. Once in school, she becomes enamored with a family of extremely beautiful brothers and sisters, and begins a relationship with the most beautiful, Edward. This relationship is immediately the only thing in Bella’s life, and all of her other relationships are jeopardized. Edward’s desire for Bella goes beyond just her personality, as it turns out he’s a vampire, but they manage to make it work. That is until they have a big dramatic break-up, Bella runs off with a friend of hers, Jacob, who turns out to be a werewolf. Thus, the horrible question is presented: which creature of the night will she chose to love?

More bloodsucking fun!
