Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
Another exciting entry in the Twilight Series. Bella does get a little tiresome but the author knows how to spin a tale.

New Moon (2006)

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
When I told the staff at my library that I had read and enjoyed "Twilight", they proceeded to put my name on the reserve list for the other titles, which I wasn't sure I was prepared to read. Having just finished "New Moon", I guess I will have to admit that I am hooked on Bella's story.

There was lots more excitement in "New Moon" with best friend Jacob coming into his own as a werewolf. When you try to explain the plot it sounds totally ludacris. But so far I am devouring these stories. I'll admit I sometimes scan-read paragraphs and don't linger over the prose.

Like the Harry Potter series, this book is getting young people (and no-so-young people) reading and that is a good thing. I just hope that readers move on to discover other authors and stories after like with Bella and Edward.

Twilight (2005)

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars

As I started reading "Twilight", I couldn't figure out what all the fuss was about and I thought the restrained romance was getting a little old and repetitious. I have all the titles in the series on 'hold' at the library but was beginning to think that Book #1 was enough. After all I am several generations past the target group. Au contraire. Suddenly the fun began and I couldn't put the book down. I guess I am a convert. These are great stories and I have been listening to the CD of the music from the movie in the car. Makes me want to see the movie. Stephenie Meyer is a good storyteller.
