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 »

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: Remembrance by Michelle Madow

October 26, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 5 Comments

Remembrance  is like Twilight meets reincarnation with a nice masked ball. I thought it would be historical fiction, but it wasn't. It was more like a supernatural romance, kind-of. What I'm trying to say is that it was a unique fantasy romance. At the beginning, it reminded me a lot of Twilight and I thought with ... Read More »
