Twilight!

I think that I have read this series of books about 4 times now, but as the final movie is being released in just 2 short months and I had a week off, I decided to re-read again just to remind myself what is supposed to happen (so I can compare with the newest movie).  It was fun to read this series again.  I love the world that Stephanie Meyer created when she introduced these vegetarian vampires to us.  Her writting is fun, easy to follow, and very descriptive - you can really see what Bella sees when she looks at the world she lives in and we feel her highs and lows as she tries to understand to relationships with Edward and Jacob.

I'm pretty sure the most people have read these books so instead of explaining what happens in each I am going to talk about my favourite part in each :)

Twilight: My favourite part in this book is when Edward takes Bella to the meadow for the first time.  She is overwhlemed by the beauty of the meadow and she gets to see Edward in the sun for the first time.  She described his skin in the sun by saying the it shimmered like diamonds.  This part was really the first time that as a reader I started to understand everything about the vampires in the Stephanie Meyer world.  Bella was figuring out about each of the family members and what it meant to be a vampire right there with the reader and this part was one of the most striking to me.  Everything seemed so vivid and I began to see how Bella wanted to become a part of this world that Edward lived in.

New Moon: I think that my favourite part in this book is when Bella and Jacob take their bikes out for the first time and Bella falls off and hits her head.  Jacob tells her that she is bleeding and she appologises.  Jacob then asks why she is appologising for bleeding.  It is at this part that Bella starts to realise that being with Jacob would be easy, normal, because he is human like her - she doesn't have to worry about clearing a room if she say, gets a papercut, haha.  I also like the times when Bella refers to Jacob as her own personal sun  because he is so friendly and warm.

Eclipse: I have two favourite parts in this book - first the Tribe's histories.  This part was so interesing to me.  Stephanie Meyer did not have to explain why the Quileute's changed into wolves when vampires were near, but she went into this very descriptive and imaginative back story about how they were first spirit warriors and how one of them decided to share the form of the wolf and this is how the first shape shifter was born into the Quileute tribe.  My other favourite part in this book is when Jacob has to warm Bella up the night they spend in the tent on the mountain.  Jacob and Edward's discussion is really funny and I was laughing at all of the funny things Jacob says - especially the part when he says, "well I am hotter than you", hahaha - love it!

Breaking Dawn: Again, two favourite parts in this one.  First being when Bella sees Isle Esme for the first time.  I love how Stephanie Meyer describes the simple beauty of the island at night, as well as the house they stay in.  My other favourite part is when we get to meet all of the other vampire covens and nomads.  I liked all of the different abilities that they had and how Bella found out about each - so neat!

So ya, I guess that I can't wait to see the final movie of this series! All of the others were well done, even though they did change quite a bit when I don't really think they had to, but oh well.  I think that this movie is going to be the best of the series for sure!
