Twilight Saga ***

Ok so Twilight was one of my most resent reads. I finished reading it a few months ago. I originally posted a blog on myspace about it. I have edited this one just slightly.

At first I was hesitent to read it based upon the descriptions my friends had given me. It seemed a little to adolescent for my tastes. Plus I have this thing against people who make things more exciting than they really are. However, I decided that I might as well read it before the new movie comes out.

I was surprised at how much I liked the first book, which was BRILLIANT! I read it in about
15-20 hours. I just fell in love with Edward and his family. Bella seemed so real to me. Once I was done, I thought I was hooked. I went out and bought the last three books all at once. I had to go to three different Walmarts just to find them.

The second book I was not so impressed with. I cried when Edward left. I was also angry that the author took him away and put in a selfish character like Jacob. The second book just went by in a daze until Bella decided to jump off the cliff. I found my self board with the book. But I had hopes that Edward and family would return. Sure enough I was right.

The third book seemed kind of like useless filler. I HATED the tog of war between Edward and Jacob. Jacob was too selfish for me. I don't see how Bella could have forgiven him for forcing himself on her the way he did. Then for her to forgive him so quickly, after he apologized to her. Bella became a little too weak willed for me.

The Third book was just a little too much. The lack of any real detail when it came to Edwards and Bella's Intimacy was driving me crazy. The fact that the author is more than likely Mormon was keeping out the stuff that would have made the book better. Then there was that HUDGE section for just Jacob. I could have cared less. It didn't do any thing for story except make the book longer. Then came Nessie. I didn't see her coming but everything that followed behind was WAY too predicable. I knew by the end of the book every thing would turn out alright, but that wasn't exactly the way I wanted it to end. The last book was better than the two in the middle however. I am glade that the author ended it where she did. I don't think I could stand another book.


Over all I give the series a 3 out of 5. The first book and originality is the only thing that saves it.
