Blog #7

I finally finished Stephenie’s Meyer’s Eclipse! It was really good, definitely better than her second book, New Moon. After reading Eclipse it was obvious to see that New Moon was more of a transition from Twilight to Eclipse. But I still think my favorite out of the whole Twilight Saga is Twilight. It is a perfect mix of action, romance and creepiness. I can’t wait to read the next book, Breaking Dawn and also see the movie that is coming out soon. I guess you will just have to read them to truly understand what I’m saying.
In Eclipse Bella has a lot to worry about. Whether it’s hiding from a murderous vampire that is just waiting for the chance to suck Bella’s blood and win vengeance for the murder of her partner or her on going decision of life with Jacob or eternity with Edward, Eclipse is never boring. With a mix of suspense and romance, Eclipse is sure to keep the pages turning. I am not going to give anymore of the book away, all I’m going to say is, WOW! It doesn’t disappoint.

I really like Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga. It isn’t hard to understand why the books became so popular. I mean the writing is great; it keeps the reader wondering and, in return, interested. Also, aside from the fact that most of the characters are vampires or werewolves, the characters are easy to relate to. From the clumsy, emotional teenage lead character Bella to the short-tempered, childish Jacob, it is safe to assume Meyer put a lot of thought into her characters and their similarities to modern teenagers. If you haven’t read the series yet, I would highly recommend you pick up a copy.

Blog #3: An Addiction

Dear Stephenie Meyer,
I am a huge fan of the Twilight Saga! I have read Twilight, New Moon and I just started the 629-page book, Eclipse. When my good friend recommended the books I was a bit skeptical, I mean how good could a vampire love story be? But I was interested; so many girls and even some boys at my school were reading the books. A few days later, after purchasing Twilight from Target, I had already finished the 468-page book. The plot may have pulled me into this newfound obsession I had towards the books, but I think the way you wrote is what turned the obsession into an addiction. Although the books are long your writing is definitely not boring. The events of the book, however small they may seem, come together to form a seamlessly passionate story about a girl and a boy fighting against all odds to stay together. While reading the books I wondered how you came up with such a plot. The books are unlike any thing out there. I think that is why so many people are eager to read Twilight and the 3 other books. They contain so much drama, action, suspense and romance; it is hard to put them down. With the much anticipated movie coming out and the large amount of attention the books received, has your life changed? Do you ever regret publishing the books or is the fame and attention the reason you wrote the books in the first place? These are just a few of the many questions I have and probably many other readers would love to know and understand. If you are willing I would love to hear back from you.
Sincerely Kyra Swenson,
An adoring fan
