Ok, I’m going to write a few book reviews over the next couple of days. I read a bunch1 this past summer and would like to share my opinion of them. I’m going to start with my favorite series I read over the summer, Twilight.
“Twilight” was written by Stephanie Meyer. It’s the first book in the series and it’s also going to be in theaters in November. Some people have called it the next Harry Potter. I’d have to disagree with that, but I will say that this series is worth every minute that it takes to read it.
The basic premise of this series is that a girl enters into a secret world of vampires and “werewolves.”2 She shows no fear of this new world and that’s easy to see because you’re constantly in her thoughts. The author does a great job of letting the reader know the mind of the main character. Just the concept of vampires gets me interested, but her writing style kept me hooked.
My wife originally had been loaned this book by a teacher at the school we work at. She read it and started saying how good it was. I couldn’t help myself, so I started reading it. From the first chapter, I was hooked. I went through the first 3 books rather quickly. The fourth book, “Breaking Dawn,” hadn’t come out yet. As soon as it did, I had it in my possession and, well, let my wife read it first.3 Then I read it.
The fourth book is more mature than the first 3. And it’s not as action filled as the first three. However, it was the most enthralling book of the 4. In my opinion, it was a masterpiece of emotion and drama with tons of the good stuff thrown in too.
I highly recommend this series of books to anyone. For more on them, visit Stephanie’s site.
