Well, I started reading something Thursday, April 24th. That's right-- I read a book. And it's called Twilight. I picked this book up from the beggining that morning and was through to page 30 in one period at school, and thought, "This is interesting" And by the end of that night, I was through to page 200. Do you really want to know what this book is about?-- I bet some of you already know though. Twilight is about a girl named, Bella, whose mother and father get a divorce, and when her mother gets remarried, bella decides to move up to Forks, Washington to live with her father. Bella goes into her new highschool thinking she will be the average girl everyone ignores, but instead every boy crawls over her. She doesn't really care about any of that either, and then she see's an odd family at a nearby lunch whose last names are the Cullens and each one is very beautiful, and the particular one she see's is Edward. But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen. For Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. He's nothing like anyone she's ever met, period. He's intelligent and witty, and he seems to see straight into her soul. In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance - unorthodox because Edward really isn't like the other boys. He can run faster than a mountain lion. He can stop a moving car with his bare hands. Oh, and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. That's right - vampire. But he doesn't have fangs - that's just in the movies. And he doesn't drink human blood, though Edward and his family are unique among vampires in that lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. Somehow or other, they will have to manage their unmanageable love. But what will they do when Laurent and James, the Cullens' mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for Bella? A modern, visual, and visceral Romeo and Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair - between vampire and mortal. This love story isn't like anything I've ever read, or seen. It's two people who aren't supposed to be together but are anyways, not considering Edward can't kiss Bella in ways a normal couple could, because he has to control the part of him that lusts for Bella's blood.
Okay, So I read Twilight from Thursday morning until Saturday night when I finished it. And I started the Sequel called, "New Moon" Sunday morning, and quickly had it done by Monday night, and to me that's really good considering New moon is 563 pages.
After I read New moon, I needed more. I then bought the third book, called, "Eclipse" Eclipse was by far my favorite, and I started it Tuesday at noon, and had it done by Wedensday Night. And it was a total of a whopper of 629 pages. And you ask, "What could carry on from a plot like that into Sequels?"
Well, There is almost suicide, proposals, death, love triangles, action and battle scenes, and Vampire Smex...? Yeah, haha. I wouldn't read Eclipse unless you are 13.
Twilight is an amazing story, and much to suprise, it put Harry Potter to number nine when Eclipse came out. http://youtube.com/watch?v=kiq3qbmK8Z0 That'll just give you a clue how popular it is.
And boy's have probably heard girls say, "Oh my Gosh! Edward Cullen is amazing. He is so dreamy! I want to marry him!" Yeah, even though he's fictional, he's my dream guy.
- And the Twilight Movie Comes out December 12th-- Trailer: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xBvOhfL4mYw
EVEN IF you are a boy, you should read it. I garuntee you, if you pick up the way Edward Cullen is, you'll have girls crawling all over you. And ecspecially if you love romance, you should read it. (I like Twilight better...Than Kataang. Wow that hurt to type) Twilight sure helps with AWS too. I dread the wait till July for Avatar, but right after Avatar ends, the 775 page fourth Twilight book will be out in August, called Breaking Dawn.
Oh, I leave for the Bahama's on a cruise saturday, wish me luck and safe travels, haha. ONE MORE DAY OF SCHOOL LEFT! We don't get out till Thursday, but we don't go to school on Memorial day, and I don't have to go to school Tuesday or Thursday because exams I don't have to take, and so Wedensday is my last day : D
Btw, it's in the 80's now in Southwest Virginia, yay. I love it, because 80 degrees is the most comfortable weather ever. It's supposed to be 86 today 8) But, I was outside reading Twilight yesterday, and got burnt so bad, it's not even funny, haha.
