Twilight Series - Stephenie Meyer


Twilight
Stephenie Meyer

I prefer not writing a review of it, however, it is really fascinating especially for the teenage girls and female readers who like vampires. I read that out of curosity and am so glad I did. I am now hooked to the entire series.
The story full of romance, suspense, some thrills and gore about a mortal falls in love with a vampire which makes me crazily flip the pages. A book I literally read striaght through without stopping and I get immersed. Now I am pretty sad since I have strong eagerness and thrist for NEW MOON and ECLIPSE( the continua of Twilight book series). I will buy them tmr anyway. I still have one-month holiday to go and sure they can kill time:P
What I like most is the detailed descriptions of the characters' motions, it seems that I can feel and imagine them. The story line is really awesome.

And yesterday I watched the movie with my mates. What attracts me is the gorgeous face of Edward Cullen, absurdly handsome, a cool guy indeed . In fact I like the actor- Robert Pattinson who appeared in the film - Harry Potter as Cedric and felt such a pity when knowing he ''died'' so soon.
Frankly speaking, the movie is not as good as the book except the visual enjoyment of Robert since lots of details missed and some contents were modified when making it debut on the screen. But still, it is a good movie.

Definitely a page turner and easy read. HAHA, Alright, maybe I falls in love with Edward Cullen.:P


New Moon

Originally I thought it might disappoint me because I am not interested in the relationship of Jacob and Bella. But still, I was immersed when I moved on reading. For the part of Volterra, it is still fascinating and also anxious.

However,I am not satisfied with the preface, it made me feel confused rather than curious. The prefaces of Twilight and Eclipse are much better. Apart from that, the part which Jocab hid himself due to his transformation being a werewolf can be kept shorter.
When Edward left, I feel awfully sad. The wait for his return was excruciating. But once Edward came back, ,Bella cast Jacob aside like an old shoe. I feel pity for Jocab now.
Overall, I think Stephenie Meyer is quite a successful author.Through her words, I can feel what the characters were doing. Simply speaking, she made them REAL!!!! That's why I am obsessed with it.
Although I can predict Eclipse most likely mentions the conflicts of the relationship among the three characters,

I am wondering how it goes.





Eclipse

I think Eclipse is much better than New Moon in comparison apparently .Initially, I was worried about whether it would disappoint me as it might be worse than New Moon. Overall, it is not bad ( I am glad about it) :P

Btw, I enjoy the preface especially the poem of Fire and Ice...it is remarkable, make the entire extraordinary, I read it for thrice to think about the implications behind it......
I really appreciate the author described every motions, emotions and the thoughts of the characters as exquisite as usual... it has taken me a longer time to read it since I want to taste each of the words, it was still enjoyable although my eagerness is to finish it as soon as possible

I like the latter half of the book, the parts regarding the compromise of Jacob & Edward, the war between sadistic Victoria, newborn vampires & the alliance of werewolves, Cullens and finally the coming of Volturi as well, these all thrilled me
Now only the final one-Breaking Dawn left, I am reluctant to leave it, but meanwhile I will be busy with something else. I am sure I can't finish it before the semester starts as it is the thickest one among all. I don't want to rush through it because it would be a waste to do so

I have to confess that I don't really like the heroine-Bella, she is too fragile, too awkward, what she did was only worrying without helping much...and I am also surprised that the ways she treated Jocob & Edward ...she went overboard sometimes...



Breaking Dawn

It is the most fascinating one interconnecting with lots of romance, suspense and humanity. I bet this one is the best throughout the Twilight Saga, therefore I can't help complimenting it
Breaking Dawn is my favourite one, my degree of liking of the entire series as follows:
Breaking Dawn> Twilight> Eclipse>New Moon= Midnight Sun
Originally, I don't want myself to spend my whole precious holiday on the series but it seems that I can't resist the temptations......they are really fabulous
Caution: if u are a fan of Twilight and don't want to know the ultimate result of the story, please don't read the following or else u may lose lots of fun
The creativity of the author amazed me; there are several scenes out of my expectations:
1. Bella being a newborn vampire in a weird way – pregnancy

2.The extraordinary health conditions of a pregnant human who has an immortal inside her

3.the inborn talents of Bella and also her unique baby

4.The tactics used by the Volturi to destroy Cullens and ultimately what and who saved Cullens
5.Jocab ‘s whole pack are not werewolves but shifters

6.Parts of the story was written in Jocab’s perspective instead of Bella’s
But still, I guess right about whom Jocob would imprint and let the story come to the happy ending
I like it most because:

1.I am impressed by the logic flow throughout the stories , I almost clapped my hand when I read those regarding the numbers of chromosomal pairs of each kind and the thick membrane around the baby which is as hard as vampire skin which ultrasound cannot work

2.It leaves lots of ‘’guessing games” underneath for the readers to ponder until they get the answers from author eventually

3.I don’t want to say about this part here ( but I am sure Joey knows what I mean, it’d better keep it as a private joke anyway)
But one thing I am always conscious:

There is no “Edward Cullen” in the world, it is impossible to be so perfect without any flaws…uh… really miserable. If he is real, it worths doing what Bella did. Stephenie somehow convinced me being a vampire is much better than being a human.

Ironically, he only appears in novel, merely a fantasy of every woman

I hope the author continues writing this masterpiece.It will only make me thrist for more as I am always enchanted by something mysterious, supernatural and weird.

Midnight Sun (Draft)


Someone will immediately read it if he/she is a fan of Edward Cullen. I am one of them. It is good to expose Edward's mysterious mind especially good for satisfying the curosity of readers. However, the storyline is the same as Twilight,this makes it less interesting. I don't know male readers will enjoy it more than the Twilight. But for me, Bella's perspective is better as it leaves the space for female readers to have their imagination about Edward.

I would rather Stephenie continues writing next book after Breaking Dawn than finishing this one. But for sure, if she can also finish it as well, it will be the best.
