BEST BOOKS EVER

2008-07-22
I am 34 years old so these books are not just for young adult. I have been addicted since the first book (Twilight). I recommend them all in order. I would not consider myself an avid reader or a vampire fan - I finished the first three books in less than a week!

Loved It!!!

Sad

When I stumbled upon Twilight I thought had found a rare gem. Finally, something worth reading amidst the mediocre offering of late. It didn't even bother me that I am 30 and these books are marketed towards teens because Stephenie Meyer's writing style relates to just about anyone.

I loved loved loved Twilight. The personalities of all the characters and the interactions between Bella and Edward were great. Bella's quirks and her clumsy moments had me laughing out loud. I finished Twilight in a couple of days and rushed out to buy New Moon.

New Moon I thought was excellent and I credit the author for having the courage to be different. Yes it was a very hard book to read because it was all about Bella's agony over losing Edward but to me that further built upon how they were soul mates. I could also relate because who hasn't experienced the sheer desperation and pain of losing a loved on. I thought that New Moon went beyond just a mere continuation of the story and focused more on the character's feelings and solidified Bella's and Edwards love in preparation for Eclipse.

Eclipse I'm so sad to say ruined the beauty and uniqueness of the first two books. What was once a beautiful story about true love facing insurmountable odds was turned into some bizarre, trite, ambiguous love triangle. The enduring love that I found between Bella and Edward in the first two books was absent and reduced into something that had to be worked out. Why does Bella have to be in love with Edward and Jacob? Did that add another dimension to the story that I missed because to me it was pointless, whinny, a bit disturbing, and basically destroyed the storyline. Moreover, no character or story development was present in this book. I'm still going to read Breaking Dawn to see how it ends and I really really hope that Stephenie Meyer doesn't let her loyal fans down.

On another note, I read Stephenie Meyer's new book The Host and it is one of my absolute favorite books of all time. Read it in one sitting and I thought it was brilliant. A love triangle was present in that book as well so perhaps this is something that intrigues the author, however in The Host it worked.

I'd also like to say that I am giving this 2 stars because although this book is a shadow of her first two books Stephenie Meyer's writing is still impeccable and draws you in no matter how bad or inane the storyline is.

I Love it!!!

I am in love with this series- TOTALLY. I can't wait, one week to go for the release of Breaking Dawn. I can see her writing Bella's first year as a vampire, her marriage and so much more. Stephenie Meyer is an incredible writer who weaves an epic story with characters that you know so intimately. What more can I say?

Awsome book!

This is an AWSOME book! It began a bit slow, but it was not long before I could not put it down! Now I have read all three and can't wait to get the 4th in the mail from Amazon! I love romance and Sci-fi and this series has them both. Now my husband is reading them too!

Words Cannot Describe

When I went to the bookfair at my school, I was anxious to buy a new book to read, as always. This time, I wasn't exactly sure what to get. I asked my librarian, and she suggested Twilight [that was the only book out at the time.] Since reading Twilight and New Moon, I've never ceased to be enchanted by Eclipse. It's the kind of book that I read in a day or two, and go to bed, and the next day I start all over. I never get tired of it, and I don't ever think I could. Eclipse has everything that could interest someone in the literary department; romance, drama, action, mystery, fighting; it has it all! I would recommend this book, and the rest of the series, to you, and to all of my friends. And, believe it or not, you learn a lot too! I really think that Eclipse, tied along with Twilight and New Moon, is the best book I have ever read, and I've read over 1000!

the third

I read Twilight, as well as New Moon and moved on to the third book in the Twilight Saga, and as always didn't know what to expect, but was eager to read to find out what happens, almost a mystery intertwind.

Must keep breathing.....

In my opinion, Eclipse was the best book from the Twilight saga thus far. I'm still trying to catch my breath!!!
