Twilight

Lately I have been reading, a lot. A few months ago a started reading a series of books called the Twilight Saga. These books have gotten really popular lately; there is even a movie based on the first book coming out. There are four books in the series so far (the fourth one came out on August 2nd of this year): Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. I have read the first three and I am in the middle of reading the fourth at the moment. Here is a little bit of what each book is about.

“In Twilight, Bella Swan’s move to Forks could have been the most boring move she ever made. But when she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Bella.

Star-crossed lovers Bella and Edward return in New Moon to find themselves facing new obstacles, including a devastating separation, the mysterious appearance of dangerous wolves roaming the forest in Forks, a terrifying threat of revenge from a female vampire, and a deliciously sinister encounter with Italy’s reigning royal family of vampires, the Volturi.

As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger in Eclipse, the third novel of The Twilight Saga. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?” – (http://www.thetwilightsaga.com/)

I could not find a summary of Breaking Dawn that does not give away too much so here is what the summary says on the actual book.

“To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her  profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, she has endured a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife to reach the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or pursue a fully human life has become the thread from with the fate of two tribes hangs.

Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecendent events is about to unfold with potentially devastating and unfathomable consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella’s life – first discovered in Twilight, then scattered in New Moon and Eclipse – seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed . . . forever?”


I would definitely recommend these books for anyone.

    My GF read those books, she talks about them all the time. I’m not gonna read the books myself though, they’re kinda focused on the love story between the main character and the two guys… Edward and Jacob I think. I like vamps and werewolves and stuff though, so I’m looking forward to the movie.
