Reading is a passion of mine that I have always enjoyed. My discovery of a book called Twilight deepened my love of reading by engaging my interests in the forbidden love between a male vampire and a human girl and his undeniable urge to taste the blood of the girl he loves. Being that he has never experienced the taste of human blood, makes his struggle of his love for Bella more bittersweet. His fight to keep others from harming her has turned into his most difficult task as well as challenging himself to not have to choose between first blood or first love. Keeping such a huge secret in a small town has its disadvantages. Such as attending school on dreary day, playing baseball in the rain and feeding on animal’s blood in the woods on sunny days. While the upside of having a girlfriend, is that he has someone to confide his “powers” in. Bella knows that something within her is not quite right and she fights with the idea of becoming immortal to be just like Edward. She seems to find comfort in the thought of becoming immortal. But Edward knows the cruel fate of this decision so he tried to persuade himself against the idea of Bella living forever, even when he is faced with the deadly decision of saving her life by immortalizing her. He faces his biggest challenge when he loses himself in trying to save her life by taking too much of her life. Part of the attraction for Edward was that Bella is a bit of a recluse and deep down, he felt that he could trust her with his secret; Even though he never told her his secret. Bella’s intuitive nature led her to seek out Edwards’s secret when he saved her from being crushed. This book gives a fresh look at a stereotypical story line involving vampires and humans. It takes the “boy meets girl” scenario to a whole new level by taking the average disturbed girl out of the traditional setting and landing her into a new world that she would have never imagined to exist.

ReplyDeleteI was kind of interested in reading this book before the movie came out. Then I started seeing a lot of posters about it, and then I thought that it was kind of too much of a big deal. To be completely honest you re-caprtured my interest on reading the book. I really hope I get a chance to read it before I watch the movi, I prefer reading a book rather than watching the movie based on the book, it's a different, more personal experience.
ReplyDeleteYou said something that caught my attention "Being that he has never experienced the taste of human blood". In fact Edward had. After Carsile changed him he spent ten years with him then went through a rebellious stage where he did infact kill humans. However he only killed ones who were "bad". Once he said something like "If I kill him before he kills that woman than maybe im not such a monster". Ive read the book roughly about 15 time. Horrible, I know. I just thought I would let you know. I enjoy the book too. Ive read the whole series. Great choice to blog about. = ]
ReplyDeleteI had been meaning to read this book. And every one said I needed to read the book before seeing the movie, but I just never got around too read the book. So I went and seen the movie is really cool so if the book is half as good as the movie then I really need to read it. You make it sound really interesting and I think I will take the time to read it.

ReplyDeleteI am so glad you wrote about Twilight! My daughter Alyssa, she is only eleven years old, she is wanting to read the book "Twilight" but I want to know what she is reading and what it's about. You gave me a wonderful insight on what this book is about. I definitely let her read this book. If you are going to read the series please keep me up to date on the book. So please read on. I don't think I would like it but I am also from a different generation or some might say a different century.
