Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

Don't read this review if you haven't read the other books in this series, as it may contain spoilers!

I finally finished the book! I got it the minute it came out at Walmart, but I haven't had much time to read it. I'm glad I finished it! It was great! I think it was a good end to the saga. I'm a little sad that the series is finished, but I'm not feeling as depressed as I thought I would.

I wasn't sure I was going to like Breaking Dawn at first. I was a little unsure of where the story was going, but I started to like it more and more! I want to reread it already, but I have a lot of library books to read. I've renewed them as many times as I can already. Well, I hope Stephenie Meyer changes her mind and decides to continue to write books in this series. I have to say that it pushed the Harry Potter series out of the top spot on my favorite series list. I guess I'll just have to make do with the movie and the guide that are being released in December!

5 out of 5 stars, of course!!

The Host by Stephenie Meyer

I finally finished The Host today. I got it last Wednesday, so it took me a little over a week to read it. I've been busy with crocheting (I've made two bags and I'm currently making bunny slippers!) and we're closing on a house tomorrow, so that's been keeping me busy, too. Anyway, back to The Host. Here is the summary from Amazon.com:

"A species of altruistic parasites has peacefully assumed control of the minds and bodies of most humans, but feisty Melanie Stryder won't surrender her mind to the alien soul called Wanderer. Overwhelmed by Melanie's memories of fellow resistor Jared, Wanderer yields to her body's longing and sets off into the desert to find him. Likely the first love triangle involving just two bodies, it's unabashedly romantic, and the characters (human and alien) genuinely endearing."

I loved this book! It was so good! I think I would love anything Stephenie writes, though. She's such an amazing writer. At first I thought the book would be really weird, but it was great! The "love triangle" was a very cool aspect of this book. I hope she writes a sequel. I want to read more about Wanderer and everyone else! I already want to reread the book. I thought I would compare it to Twilight the entire time, but I really didn't. If you liked Twilight and aren't sure if you should read The Host, you should! Go read it! Right now! You won't regret it! Can you tell I'm excited about this book?

5 out of 5 stars!

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Isabella "Bella" Swan moves to a small town in Washington to live with her father. It's a gloomy town where it always rains and the sun rarely comes out. She doesn't fit in at school, but she's not the only one who doesn't fit in. The Cullen family also seem to be out of place, although no one knows why. Bella is confused by Edward Cullen's actions toward her; sometimes angry and other times friendly. He saves her life one day and they become friends. Bella eventually discovers that Edward is a vampire and that she is falling in love with him, despite the fact that he sometimes gets deadly urges to kill her!

I was really looking forward to reading Twilight because everyone has been saying that it's such a good book. I wasn't disappointed! I loved it! The relationship between Bella and Edward is so sweet it made me smile as I was reading it. Out of all the vampire books I've read, this one is my favorite. I liked how the vampire "lore" was not the same as most other vampire stories and TV shows (death by sunlight, crosses, the "change", etc.). I can't wait to see the movie and read the other two books!

5 out of 5 stars!
