4 Breaking Dawn


This is the last book following Bella's journey from normal human to possibly vampire? I can't really say much more than that; you don't want me to give away what happens (even though I pretty sure everyone knows).

Other than being a boring book, this book celebrates the insensitivity that comes with being a vampire. Disemboweling people is just part of the job, it seems. There is a lot of talk about Bella and Edward's (momentarily forgot his name) sex life, so if this bothers you...

Well, um, Edward is really committed to Bella for better or worse...?

BORING! The third book was so good because Edward was so completely committed to Bella's well being. It was also almost ruined because of Bella's consistent insensitivity and stubborn stupidity. In this book Edward fades into the background in favor of Bella, so the book is an emotional, illogical mess.

3 Eclipse


The last book left me yelling "MARRY HIM YOU IDIOT" (sorry to those who haven't read it and whom I just ruined it for) and wondering if I should even read the third book. Thankfully I had already ordered it and so I let it be. Because this is the best Twilight book.

It's the usual. And Bella is even more insistent the her and Edward have sex (you would think she only liked him because of his body...Probably true, that and he can make her a vapire) Lots of killing of bad guys by good guys (good thing?), and humans by vampires. Kinda disturbing that their best solution is death.

Okay, I'm not 'in love' with Edward, but he really is the best character. He shines (hehehe) in this story with selflessness and true love for Bella.

So I liked this story the best because it was about the stuff I find most interesting. Human relationships and how they change over time and with stress. I really loved Edward's and Bella's reaction to the troubles they face together. They are both so determined to stay together forever. If that's a good thing or not, they don't seem to care.

2 New Moon


So everything isn't perfect for the star crossed (what does that mean?) lovers Bella and Edward. In fact, things are so not good that Edward decides that Bella is really better off without him. Edward desperately doesn't want to leave, but he's so dangerous. Bella goes off the deep end.

Well, the book is kinda about blood sucking vampires, if that bothers you. Kinda the sames stuff as last book. And Bella lies to her dad a lot about just about everything. And she just can't function without Edward, LAME!

Ummmm, Jacob is a good friend. Edward is just trying to do the right thing.

I really didn't like this book, it was just a long book full of nonsense. It was way too long, like wading through pitch. There really isn't a story without Edward. He is totally the best character, and since Bella is his opposite, she really ruins the books. Which is too bad, because she's the one we're suppose to be rooting for...

1 Twilight


Sooooo, disconnected teenager that I am, I just read Twilight. Anyway, Bella is just trying to keep her life on track in a world that seems to try and force her off. Then she meets Edward (sad, but I had to think for a second) and she falls in love with the beautiful, yet odd, ummm, guy.

So, as most of you probably know Edward and his 'family' are vampires, they just live off of animal blood. So if you think vampires are the root of all evil (like my mom), don't read this book; there are better ones out there. There is some swearing... And Bella seems kinda obsessed with sex...

Really Edward is the best thing about this book. He's actually a good guy, a real gentleman. When Bella gets out of control, he's there to bring things back. And he genuinely cares about her. That's why a billion girls love these books.
I thought this book was fine, a romantic one time read. But it's completely overshadowed by the third book.
