Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer

I still loved Breaking Dawn, but it just felt different. Like being at the Cullen's house didn't feel like being in the Cullen's house. I didn't have the same picture at all, it felt like they were a hundred miles away from Forks. It was hard to picture things being the same 'cause so many things were different...but I still liked it.

 

I'll be honest, I haven't read it yet, so I couldn't say.

 

I thought that it took a while to get into, but it was great after that.

 

I didn't find The Host to be more of the same at all. Well...there was the romantic-theme-enmeshed-in-another-genre going on again, and her longwindedness (if they took the time to edit it more thoroughly, they probably could have shaved 200 pages off of it); but the writing was better than in any of the Twilight books.

 

The Host was totally different than Twilight, I think that Twilight was better, but that's just me. I just wanna know why she wrote a different book in the middle of a series. It's just a little strange.

 

Its actually not that strange. Many authors have pushed aside current projects to switch over to something that they really want to get down. Stranger in a Strange Land was put on hold while Heinlein revised a final copy of Starship Troopers, and Orson Scott Card was doing something else when he decided to write Ender's Game.

According to her she had the idea during a car ride and had planned half the novel when she decided to start writing it down. She probably just wrote it all out and it got done before Breaking Dawn.

 

I wish I could come up with half of a story in a car ride. And I understand that some people do that, but it's interesting when the books have become so popular and there are a bunch of people waiting for the next one.

 

I absolutely LOVE Twilight! It's such a great book, and I'm on Breaking Dawn right now and I'll probably be done with that in a week, then I'll start the saga over again!

 

Oh! Good! You can be one more person who says something good about Twilight. Which is your favorite one?

 

Eclipse, then Twilight, and then New Moon (haven't read much of Breaking Dawn yet) New Moon pretty much killed me because the Cullens weren't in it for like 300 pages! I was having Edward Withdrawals lol

 

Oh I know, me too. I see you are on Team Edward, that's good =D Edward is a beast!

 

OMG. I was reading Twilight icons this weekend on the internet and one of them said, and I completely agree with it, 'When Life hands you lemons, throw them back and demand Edward Cullen!'

 

=D That's pretty funny. There are some really hilarious icons that people have made for Twilight. And others just look really cool =D

 

AHHHHHH! Okay, for everyone who is freaking out about the Twilight movie, there is an extended version of the Ballet Studio scene. This one has subtitles, so it's easy to understand!

Okay. I know that it's team Edward or team Jacob and I'm on team Edward, dont get me wrong, but I just love Jasper. I know know, he's Alice's and I love her too, but my friend told me this one icon and it's amazing. 'I tried to kidnap Jasper, but Alice met me at the window with a bat. How'd she kn--? Ohh right.' I'd kidnap Jasper any day. Damn Alice. J.K. Gotta love the psychics!

 

Hnestly, i don't believe stephanie myer has much talent. She butchered vampire tales, which should be left to a serious writer of gothic horror, like Anne Rice. It wasn't even thrilling as a love story to me, i'm sorry, but I just couldn't get into them.

 

I saw that one too! And I love it. I love Jasper. He's so sweet =D I'd honestly be happy with Jasper, Emmett, or Edward. Emmett is so hilarious, I love the jokes he makes around Charlie.

 

OMGoddess that was like wow. He was soo bad. I was laughing and cheering when Bella shut him up. Especially the way she did it. *oops* not sure what exactly can put down now. I don't want to release a spoiler. So yeah, but I did love that.

 

Yeah, they are the best. It's sort of amazing how many names they have. All of them have first and middle names and then at least two last names. Jasper and Rosalie have three last names. That's kind of a lot. I can't even think of a last name for one of my main characters...I'm not even going to bother with a middle name.

 

Yeah, I have first and last names, but most are generic so I dont know. I really never do middle names. But honestly though, they have to have so many names, cause they change them like what, once every hundred years or so. Okay that was maybe a little exagerated, but you get my point on that one. I think the names are just awesome. Sorry but I dont think I can help ya on the name thing. Maybe try going to a dot com, like babynames.com. I no, i no, but I've gone to places like that for ideas. yeah, go ahead laugh.

 

So, my Mom finally bought me a copy of Breaking Dawn Wednesday night and I just finished reading it about twenty minutes ago.

First, I was kind of upset at how she rushed through the plot to the wedding day and then proceeded to keep speeding through the ceromony as well. It irked me, but it was so worth it

I totally fell in love with the little gift, I'm not sure where the spoiler line is, but I thought it a little too convenient how Bella was just freaking perfect for immortaility, almost as if Meyers was writing that particular part lighter so that she'd be able to focus on something else.

I enjoyed how she switched to Jacob's perspective and then showed us imprinting, and how it subliminally explained everything and yet left questions. Also, the way she described Renesmee and then Bella's births was very creative and captivating.

Now...well now I need to aquire a copy of The Host to tide me over untill the next installment of the Twilight saga....

The Host is available online or at any general bookstore. I hear that the sequel, The Soul is almost finished.

It may be awhile before we see anymore Twilight. Meyer is pretty torn up about how twelve chapters of Midnight Sun were leaked onto the internet in unfinished format. You can find them on her website if you like. She put the leaked chapters up as curtosy so fans wouldn't feel guilty for reading it. It's a shame too, its a pretty damn good 12 chapters. I hope she finishes it someday (the only part I didn't like was how half of it is a carbon copy of conversations from Twilight, but there's more than enough new content to make up for it).

For future reference spoiler tags are

Spoiler

[/ spoiler] minus the space after the slash in the second brackets.

 

So there is more to the Saga!

I meant saying too much, not using the tag.

Will Midnight Sun go throug everything including Breaking Dawn?

 

Meyer has said that Midnight Sun would be a rewrite of Twilight from Edward Cullen's point of view. She made it clear in several interviews it was the only Twilight Novel she palnned on rewriting and she will not rewrite anymore. like I said though, the project is on hiatus and right now all plans for its publication and completion seem to have ceased.

There have been persiting rumors for a long time now that she plans to continue the series from Jacob Black's perspective (which makes sense seeing how Breaking Dawn left more questions than answers and seemed to do a lot of side tracking to expand on Jacob) but i don't think she's ever said she would.

 

I was so happy for Jacob that he could understand why he was soo drawn to Bella. I still thought hilarious when she wanted to kill him.

"She's my baby!" Hahahahehehehe....

And yes, in my twisted mind this was a proper response to what you said.
