Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

Breaking Dawn
Stephenie Meyer


OVERVIEW
I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen. You may BITE your bride. After their fantabulous wedding, thanks to Alice, of course, Edward and Bella fly over to Brazil, Esme's Island to be exact, for their oh-so-short honeymoon. Why is that? When changes in Bella's diet occur, there's only one explanation for it, Renesemee.





REVIEW
I've read so many thoughts on this book, I'm kinda unsure of my own, but here goes nothing. At the beginning of Breaking Dawn, it was VERY VERY BORING. Especially when it got into Jacob's book. [MAJOR SPOILER] After he imprinted on Renesemee, things started heating up, but the fire never really did start. I honest think it was really stupid for Bella to get pregnant. Like I get how it all adds up and everything, but I just felt that was like a last resort kinda thing. [SPOLIER ENDED.] I am happy with the way Stephenie ended the series though. I also am upset that it's all over, because like Harry Potter, it's just one of those series you never want to live to see the end of. Over all, Breaking Dawn was just an OKAY book. It was definitely NOTHING compared to the original, Twilight, which is and always will be my favorite of the sega. So for now, I'll be looking forward to Midnight Sun, hopefully, Mrs. Meyer will be able to continue and finish the complete book, despite what happened.

I GIVE THIS ONE THREE THUMBS UP

Turn of the Werewolf

New Moon
Stephenie Meyer

In this amazing sequel to the beloved series by Stephanie Meyer, we are better introduced to the character, Jacob Black. In the previous book, Twilight, we all knew that Jacob had a little crush on Bella but, unfortunately for him, all her attention was devoted to Edward. In this book however, lucky for Jacob, he just happens to be there when Bella is in dire need of a friend and Edward is no where to be found.

Its senior year and everything seems to be played out perfectly. Bella seems to have let the incidents of last spring pass smoothly, her and Edward share most all of their classes together, and her other friends now share the lunch table with her, Edward and Alice. Bella’s birthday is just around the corner, and she’s the last person on earth who wants to celebrate. To her, that just makes another year that she’s older than Edward. But the Cullen’s don’t let her sorry attitude stop them; instead, they throw her a party. Unfortunately, it doesn’t last very long, Bella, being clumsy as usual, mistakenly gives herself a paper cut while trying to open her gift….

A few days after the incident at Bella’s birthday party, Edward decides he needs to have a talk with her. After Edward tells Bella that “we” have to leave, she’s trilled, thinking that he means him and her. After the real meaning dawns on her, she is far from trilled. She starts crying and pleading for him to stay, but as he puts it, he has no choice. The months after Edward leaves are really a blur. Bella IS a walking ghost; she doesn’t know how to lead a normal life without him. He WAS her life.

On a day out with Jessica, Bella realizes that if she puts herself in danger someway, or acts stupidly, Edward speaks to her. After that day, she goes about her way to do anything wild and dangerous, just to hear his voice again. She goes out and buys a pair of broken down motorcycles. She goes to Jacob, hoping that he’ll fix it up for her and later on, teach her how to actually ride it.

She and Jacob become pretty good friends now. She spends all her time over at his house and watches/talks to him while he works on the bikes. They get to know each over pretty well and become best friends, even though Jacob wants more. Everything seems to be going pretty well, till everyone starts talking about the mysterious bear in the woods. What could it possibly be? Now suddenly, Jacob doesn’t want to hang out with her anymore and won’t talk to her or anything. What could she have possibly done to deserve such treatment?

After one of her crazy stunts, Bella gets an unexpected visit from Alice Cullen. Before they have enough time to celebrate her visit, they get some really upsetting news. Edward was gone to see the Volterra, the head vampire tribe, and it seems like the only person who can save him is Bella. Will she and Alice get there before Edward does something to get himself killed?

In this book, Bella goes through more changes and challenges than bearable. Will she be able to pull through it all and come out to be the person she once was before it all happened?

I would recommend this book to all fans of the Twilight series, fantasy lovers, and every one 14+

Lust and Love

Twilight
Stephanie Meyer

Before you read this novel, know that you will not be able to eat, sleep, or go to the bathroom until you have turned the last of the pages. This is an invigorating pages turner that will leave you on the edge of your seat and pull your body, mind, and soul from the real world before you realize it. Consider yourself warned.

After years and years of living with her mom in Sunny Phoenix, Arizona and visiting with her dad during the summers in Rainy Forks, Washington, Isabelle “Bella” Swan decides that she’s tired of it all. In that great decision, she also decides to move in with Chief Swan “Charlie”, her dad.

The first day in Forks is very dull, she and her dad don’t really have much to talk about and the gray weather isn’t doing much to help. Her first day of school however is nothing like what she expected. She knows to keep to herself since she’s the new kid on the block but her classmates have something else coming for her.

As she steps into her classes, all heads turn her way but she only turns her head towards one person in particular, Edward Cullen. Edward Cullen, among his brothers and sisters are the most attractive people in school. Unfortunately, for us humans, they keep to themselves and no one else, at least until Bella is painted into the picture. Edward, being the only single person in his family, is immediately attracted to her smell, as dangerous as that is to both Bella and his extra special family. In no less than a week in Forks, Bella, thanks to Edward, cheats death a number of times. As they spend more time together, they quickly fall in love.

In this stimulating, charismatic, tantalizing vampire fantasy, Bella and Edward find out that they need more than their love for each other in order to survive in this entangled world of vampires and humans.

I would recommend this book to kids of all ages who love fantasy… vampire fantasy. Also to all girls 14 and up because, as odd as this might sound, it wasn’t the story line that hooked me to the book but the irresistible character, Edward Cullen.

She Loves Him, She Loves Him Not. Who Will She Choose?

Eclipse
Stephenie Meyer

With Twilight being all about Edward and New Moon circling around Jacob, you and I both can guess who Eclipse revolves around. We guess right, arch-rivals Edward and Jacob.

Senior year is assumed to be the best year of high school but you know what happens when you assume right? All it’s really done is put a lot of stress on Bella. With Edward back in the picture, you’d think everything would be just peachy but it’s far from that. Bella has a lot on her mind, from graduation to her love life. But with Bella’s luck, we all know there’s got to be more than what meets the eye. She’s can’t just get away with senioritis alone, and she doesn’t. With the Vulturi’s upcoming unexpected visit, Bella thinks she’s more than ready to become a vampire, but does she really know what she’ll be getting herself into? Like that isn’t enough paranoia to make her go crazy, Victoria forces herself into the already filled up canvas. Won’t she just get a life and leave Bella alone? Now, the werewolves and vampires join forces, with only their love for Bella keeping them from taking a go at each at other, to fight off Victoria and her amateur army. Bella is terrified for both the lives of Edward and Jacob. I guess she cared for Jacob more than she thought, but could it be love?

I think that Bella really grows up in the book. She is faced with a lot of decisions that no one her age should have to make but she does the grown up thing. I just hope she made all the right decisions.

As I read Eclipse, Stephenie Meyer painted all the words in my mind with excruciating detail and I loved every minute of it. This book was a real page turner. Even after reading he last page, I sound myself searching for more pages to turn to. I can’t wait till Breaking Dawn. I would recommend this book to previous fans of the series, and vampire fantasy loves.
