I just finished the most recent book in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. The book is entitled Eclipse, and I have been waiting for it since I finished the previous two, Twilight and New Moon, in December. The books are geared for teenager/young adult readers, but I absolutely love them. I must say that I am so glad that I read New Moon before I came back down to Statesboro, because the book dealt with very emotionally charged situations between the characters. My life began to to turn alarmingly like the life of the main character, Bella, in the months following New Year’s. If I had to have read the book later, I could not have gotten through.
Don’t get me wrong. It shouldn’t hinder anyone else from reading it, it’s just that my life is chaotic and dramatized. I would have not been able to get through the book without recognizing the similarities and realizing the character’s pain is my own. Very truly so.
I encourage everyone to read the books, although I am sad that I have read the final one… and the story continues. I want more! It does revolve around Vampires and Werewolves and it is a… not a “romance” but it does have romantic undertones. What young adult novel with vampires doesn’t?! But I like it!
Twilight
New Moon
Eclipse
Go read them!
