Book Review: Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

November 19, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Breaking Dawn was so much better when I read it the second time.  The first time I read it, I loved part 1, was shocked for part 2, and disappointed for part 3. Part 1 is still my favorite.  The wedding and honeymoon are pure bliss to read.  Bella's reaction to the honeymoon (where she's ... Read More »

Book Review: Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

November 10, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 4 Comments

I feel like the subtitle for Eclipse could be "Let's Feel Sorry For Jacob." I can't help but think that Jacob (in real life anyway) wouldn't be comforted by his ex-girlfriend that he still can't have.  But that's just me.  Of all the books in the series, this one is by far the most romantic. ...

Book Review: New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

November 3, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

This book drags. Don't get me wrong - I can relate a lot to Bella in this book. Oddly enough, my first break-up felt the same way. Her bitterness especially about how love gives someone the power to break you really gets to me.  However, there isn't much plot and even the conversations seem to take ... Read More »

Book Review: Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

October 27, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

My sister was reading this book in high school and when she told me it was about vampires, I was seriously concerned that she had gone all goth on me. To make sure she wasn't reading weird stuff, I decided to read it and to my surprise, I loved it. The part that I loved ... Read More »

Book Review: The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide

October 25, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

I'll be honest, this is not very interesting to read cover to cover, but it does have great information about the saga that any fan would love to read. My favorite part is the interview with Stephenie Meyer at the beginning. It was inspiring to read about how she didn't write to be famous or ... Read More »
