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: Austenland by Shannon Hale

November 15, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

A clever mix of escapist fan fiction and a modern re-telling of Jane Austen. When I found out that Stephenie Meyer was making this book into a movie, I HAD to read it.  My first thoughts were that (1) there is no conflict in this novel and (2) that this novel is purely escapist. As ... 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: Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

November 8, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

I read this book mainly because it was talked about a lot in Eclipse.  I was shocked by how dark and Gothic it was.  I can't imagine what people must have thought when it was published.  If I could pick two words to describe Wuthering Heights it would be "passionate" and "bizarre."  I've never read ...

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 »
