Twilight

Twilight By: Rebecca

Do you like books about vampires? Well if you do, you should read the book called Twilight by Stephenie Meyers. I loved this book because it is about a vampire who falls in love with this regular girl. The vampire’s name is Edward, and the girl’s name is Bella. This was the best book I have read despite how many pages long it is. The book is a total of four hundred and ninety eight pages long and is written in first person point-of- view. Even though it is a huge book, it will keep you on your feet, and you will never get bored.

This book is mainly about this girl who unexpectedly moves from her mother’s house in Arizona, so she can live with her dad. She has to go to a new school and make friends all over. When she finally gets to school, she notices this boy at lunch. At first she doesn’t know what is so strange about him. She took time to sit down after her home work and begins to figure it out. After finding out that he is a vampire she confronts him. At first he tried to deny it but then just comes out and tells her that she was right. Then she starts to like him even though he is a vampire. The thing I liked about the plot is that she loves this vampire but she has to be careful. If she is not cautious, he could bite her and suck all of her blood out of her body and she eventually will die. With this story it didn’t really remind me of any events that has happened in my life. The only similarity is she had to go to a new school and I did too.

Edward Cullen is the vampire in the story. He is unfriendly until you get to know him. On the other hand Bella Swan is kind all the time and never gets as mad as Edward. Bella is a strange girl to understand. She is so reckless all the time. For example she is always falling and scrapping herself up. Edward on the other hand is always saving her or preventing accidents that involve her. Edward shares his house with five other vampires. Their names are Emmet, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, Carlisle, and Esme. My favorite character from the book is Alice. She is Edward’s sister. She is overly nice and has black long hair, pale skin, and emerald colored eyes. She acts so like me too. She is always very shy and gets annoyed easily. In fact she is small figured like me. Only three of the vampires possess powers Alice can predict the future, Jasper can make people change their emotion, and Edward can read peoples minds. The whole family act like Esme is the mother and Carlisle is the father. They pretend to be related so nobody knows their bloodsuckers. But the catch is they signed a petition with the werewolves that they can’t suck human’s blood or they will be forced to hunt the vampires down and kill them.

With out a doubt I would recommend this book. I would tell people who like stories that will keep entertained and who love fantasy book to check it out. If you ever have to do a language arts project I highly suggest you read this book because it will not bore you out of your mind and it’s a cool subject. Once you start reading this book you will not want to put it down. It has a great story line, and, if you ever read it, I hope you enjoy it.

Nicole Harrold Book Evaluation First of all, the book I was reading was called __Twilight__. This book was by Stephenie Meyer. I would definitely recommend this book to any person who likes romance and likes to read about vampires. On a scale of 1-10 I would give this book a 10. I gave this book a 10 because I like to read fantasy and I thought that this book was very descriptive and it always kept you reading. Also, the plot in this book was very unpredictable and mysterious. I could never predict what was going to happen in this book because when I finished a certain reading I could never picture what was going to happen. For example when Bella went to play baseball with Edward and his family and I couldn’t predict what was going to happen during and after the game. I think the exposition of the book was when Bella first met Edward because that was when she knew something was going to happen while she was in Forks. I think the rising action of the book was when Bella and her outrageous friends go to Port Angeles and Edward saves Bella from being in huge trouble with some bad people. I think the climax of this book was when Edward told Bella that he was a vampire. Also, the falling action of this book was when Bella goes and finds James to stop him from hurting Bella’s mom. Finally, I think the conclusion to this book was when Edward took Bella to the prom and he kissed her neck instead of biting her. For this book I thought the conflict was when she found out Edward was a vampire. I think this because when she found out all kinds of trouble started appearing. For example when she went to save her mom, James beat Bella up. Next, the main characters of this book were Bella and Edward. Although, there were a few more characters such as, Charlie, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, Jasper, Mike, and Jessica. My favorite character in this book would have to be Edward Cullen. He is my favorite character because he saved Bella twice and because he was kind, nice, and thoughtful. Also, he is my favorite because he showed Bella things that made her live her life and not be shy. To describe Edward he has golden brown hair, hazel eyes, and sharp teeth. For example in the beginning of the book when Bella first arrived in Forks she was shy when she went to her knew school she was sort of acting weird around the other students. My least favorite in the book had to be Victoria or Laurent. They were my least favorites because they really didn’t do much in the book and they weren’t very described well in the book as well. Also, they were bad and tried to kill Bella. There were multiple settings to my book, but I am on mentioning the two main settings. First, the main setting was in the woods or around the woods. My opinion on this setting is that it was exciting and described the forest. For example when Edward and Bella went into the woods they were laying on the “fresh” grass and they laid there for like three hours. The other setting in this book was in Bella and Edward’s school. My opinion for this setting is that it was sort of boring because nothing really happened in the school, but yet it was explained so much in the book. I could think of many themes for this book, but there is one that really stands out to me. The theme that I really like is, “You never give up on someone you love.” I think this is the perfect theme because in this book Edward ad Bella risk everything for each other. For example near the end of the book Bella leaves a note for Edward that says she has to save her mom and she doesn’t want any help from Edward or his family. Also, I think this theme is the perfect choice because Edward saved Bella from being by bad people and he saved he from being threatened or killed by James. Lastly, I would recommend this book to any person who likes reading. Also I would recommend this book to other readers because it was a truly awesome book and I think a lot of people will read this like they already are. Finally I think this book gave a lot of details about the characters and you could actually see what was going to happen. This is what I think of the book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.

Sarah Swengel L.A – Mrs. Brown – Pd. 4/5 February 03, 2009 I read the book __Twilight.__ This book is by Stephanie Meyer. I would defiantly recommend this book to someone else because it is an outstanding book. I think anyone would enjoy this book. On a scale from 1-10, I would give __Twilight__ a 10. I think it deserves a 10 because this is the most interesting book that I have ever read. I think the author wanted to write a different kind of book than every other book. So far, this is the best series I have ever read. The plot of this story is that a 17-year-old girl, Bella Swan, moves to Forks, Washington into her dad’s house. She starts school at Forks High School and meets a boy named Edward Cullen. Edward is avoiding her; he tries to switch the classes that he has with her. Bella doesn’t know why he’s doing this; after all, she is just a stranger. Later, Bella and Edward suddenly start talking and become friends. Bella meets a few other people at school she becomes friends with too. Bella finds out that she likes Edward more than she had thought. Bella starts to think that there is something different about Edward. He tells her to tell him her theories. But she is way off. Pale white skin, his beauty, and his eyes that change from butterscotch to pitch black. She later finds out that her boyfriend is vampire. To continue, the main characters in the book __Twilight__ are Bella, Edward, Charlie, Alice, Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, and Jacob. My favorite out of all of these characters is Alice. I think Alice is a very safe vampire to be around Bella. She is very nice and worries a lot about Bella. She also loves to have fun and has a good sense of humor. She can see the future. She also doesn’t remember her life as a human. My least favorite of this list of main characters is Rosalie. I think Rosalie is jealous of Bella because Rosalie wants to be a human again. I think Rosalie wants to hurt her, but she is afraid to because Edward might get really mad and hurt her back. The setting of the story is mostly in Forks, Washington. Bella now lives there, but she doesn’t like it much. It rains all the time and usually is dark and cloudy. She is used to Phoenix, where it is bright, sunny, and doesn’t rain often. She doesn’t like the smallness of the town. My opinion about the setting is that I wouldn’t want to live there because I like it where you get a lot of sun and it’s bright. I also think the Cullens live there because they don’t want people to see them in the sun. When vampires are in the sun, their skin glitters. The author described the setting to make it sound like Bella thought it was a horrible place to live. The theme of this story is that Bella is trying to find a way to survive and figure out how to deal with Edward and his family. It’s hard enough that she have to live when they’re there, but when they leave, she will have an even harder to live. She can’t tell anyone their secret. She also can’t stand not being around Edward every hour of the day. Bella said that she wants to be a vampire so she could be with Edward forever. In conclusion, I would defiantly say that you should read this series if you haven’t yet. My friends suggested it to me. The told me how good it was, so I wanted to read it for the Buddy Books. Once again, I give this book a 10. I would recommend this book to others.
