Stephenie Meyer’s Books

When I first came to CDS, I kept hearing the words Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse over and over again.

“Have you read Twilight?”

“No, I didn’t but I’m going to. It’s out.”

 “Oh Twilight’s good, but you should read New Moon. It’s great.”

My first thought of the books was that it was a requirement to be read in science class. I thought my classmates were studying about the moon or something. After a while, having seen that my science teacher talked nothing about moons at all, I figured out that it was just a pleasurable book that the girls were reading and loving. So in a few weeks I lost interest in the book and day after day, whenever I went to the library, I paid no attention on Twilight.

Then, one day, it just happened. My attention was caught. I wanted to see what kind of book had enhanced the whole middle school girls in a daze. I wanted to know what made the girls go Edward this and Edward that and oh poor Bella and such and such. I stopped by at lunchtime to borrow the book and thankfully it was there. On my first look I had thought, “Wow, what a nice cover.” Although I shouldn’t, I often judge a book by its cover. Whenever I look at a book, fifty percent depends on how good the cover is and the other fifty percent is the description of the book. Good covers just catch my attention right away. For a book to be a good cover for me, it just has to be really something that pops out from the others. When I go to choose a book to read, that book has to have this really great cover that just stands out. So after reading the review and admiring the cover, I borrowed it out.

And I have never regretted it since. The Twilight series is a book of every girl’s dream. Who wouldn’t want to be in the place of the main character, Bella, as she swoons in the arms of Edward the Vampire and Jacob the Werewolf? Who wouldn’t want to experience the life of an adventure where your life dangles in a thin string while you wait for your hero to come and save you? Who wouldn’t want immortality with the perfect boy and the perfect family? For Bella, as much as she attracts danger, everything is just there in reach for her. Who wouldn’t want to dream of a life like Bella’s?

Twilight is a book about an ‘ordinary’ girl named Isabella Swan who wants to be called Bella, moves to a small town called Forks. In less than a day of her school year, she already meets Edward Cullen, the handsome and mysterious youngest son of the Cullen family who seems to be very attracted to her smell. As you may have guessed, Edward is the vampire of the story and as the story develops; their love for one another grows stronger while running for Bella’s life.

I recommend you to read it because this is certainly one of the greatest book ever made. Stephenie Meyer, the author of the three books, is currently writing another book, this time, instead of Bella telling the story, it is Edward’s turn. If you go to www.stepheniemeyer.com and under Twilight Series, you can read the first chapter of the Midnight Sun.
