The "Twilight" Series

Hello blog viewers!
I think I have decided to blog about the Twilight book series (not just because that is what are teacher had had for an example but because that's all I can think about because I have read the first two books, Twilight and New Moon, and I am almost finished reading the third book Eclipse). I know that I didn't know much about this book series until just before the "Twilight" movie came out into theaters. I really enjoyed reading the first book, I had gotten into it right away which is different for me because I haven't really enjoyed taking the time to sit down and read a book for entertainment.
I am going to try really hard not to tell you about the entire Twilight book because I am sure some of you viewers have seen the movie but I will tell you about the main key points. As you know, Bella Swan has moved to Forks, WA from Phoenix, AZ and meets Edward Cullen who she finds out to be a vampire. They become really good friends after awhile into the story and later become more than just friends. Bella gets to know Edward very well and discovers his entire family are a group of vampires who do not act as the vampires we see in the movies but what we would call "vegitarians" or vampires who do not hunt humans but hunt animals for nourishment. To get straight to the end Edward and his family saves Bella from a blood thirsty vampire who wants to hunt Bella down and kill her for just the fun of it.
I feel that if you like to read and like the suspense and the intensity of a good book, you should sit down and read this book.
I would love to hear or read what you think of my blog and tell me your thoughts and feelings. If you would like to know more about the Twilight series, here is a web site to help you out: http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilight.html.

  1. I've only read Twilight but I got New Moon (the second book in the series) for Christmas and i'm excited to start it, as soon as I finish the other two books i'm reading :). I loved the book. It had something for everybody. It had suspense, romance, a little comedy, it was dark. It had vampires, humans, wolves, and other interesting twists and turns.
    I don't think the movie did the book justice, however. It didn't do enough explaining on different subjects in the book but it was a pretty good movie. Hopefully, with the next movie it will do a better job explaining more aspects of the book.
