Breaking Dawn

Ok so the final book in the Twilight series. It was not what I expected it to be. I mean if you have any ideas of what you think this book is going to be about then you're wrong. I was totally surprised. Personally this wasn't as good as the other three books. It just seemed different for some reason. The ending was good though and if it wasn't for the ending I would have been supremely ticked off. It was a little strange in some parts, but good in others. Jacob was hilarious! His sense of humor is awesome. I really like his portion of the book. In a way it was good that the series ended, but then again I'm a little disappointed.

Review/Description

It might seem redundant to dismiss the fourth and final Twilight novel as escapist fantasy—but how else could anyone look at a romance about an ordinary, even clumsy teenager torn between a vampire and a werewolf, both of whom are willing to sacrifice their happiness for hers? Flaws and all, however, Meyer’s first three novels touched on something powerful in their weird refraction of our culture’s paradoxical messages about sex and sexuality. The conclusion is much thinner, despite its interminable length. Everygirl Bella achieves her wishes quickly (marriage and sex, in that order, are two, and becoming an immortal is another), and once she becomes a vampire it’s almost impossible to identify with her. But that’s not the main problem. Essentially, everyone gets everything they want, even if their desires necessitate an about-face in characterization or the messy introduction of some back story. Nobody has to renounce anything or suffer more than temporarily—in other words, grandeur is out. This isn’t about happy endings; it’s about gratification.

Truth About Forever

Ok so I have read all of Sarah Dessens Books except for one. This book tied with Just Listen as one of my favorites. It had a good story and was interesting. I really liked the main guy in the story. It was a romance sort of book much like the others. Macy was all about perfection, until she meets the Wish crew who love imperfections. It really holds the point that everything happens for a reason and a little chaos never hurt anyone. I recommend this book to anyone.

Review/Description

Sixteen-year-old Macy Queen is looking forward to a long, boring summer. Her boyfriend is going away. She’s stuck with a dull-asdishwater job at the library. And she’ll spend all of her free time studying for the SATs or grieving silently with her mother over her father’s recent unexpected death. But everything changes when Macy is corralled into helping out at one of her mother’s open house events, and she meets the chaotic Wish Catering crew. Before long, Macy joins the Wish team. She loves everything about the work and the people. But the best thing about Wish is Wes—artistic, insightful, and understanding Wes—who gets Macy to look at life in a whole new way, and really start living it….

Dreamland

Dreamlnad actually surprised me by being pretty good. It reminds me alot of Breathing Underwater which was also a book about a controlling and abusive realtionship. Except Dreamland was about the victim of the abuse instead of the one being abusive. It helps you undestand what someone goes through and what it does to them emotionally and physically. The girl still loved the guy even after he hurt her. She couldn't see how this awesesome guy could be so mean. Throughout most of the book she talked about how she felt she was underwater, not really there (which again reminds me of Breathing Underwater). In the end though she goes to rehab, after she conseaved a drug problem, and makes her way to the surface.

Review/Description

Someone Like You

This book was pretty good. It wasn't really what I was expecting. Friendship Played a main role in this book. And how friends are there with you through everything, good times and bad. In theis book the times are mostly bad. Someone Like You and That Summer were the basics for the movie How to Deal starring Mandy Moore. Personally I think the movie had a better story than both the books.

Review/Description

Halley and Scarlett have been friend for years. People know Scarlett as the popular, flamboyant one; Halley's just the quiet sidekick, but she doesn't mind. The two of them balance each other perfectly–until the beginning of their junior year, when Scarlett's boyfriend is killed in a motorcycle accident. Soon afterward, she learns that she is carrying his baby. For the first time, Scarlett really needs Halley. Their friendship may bend under the weight of these struggles, but it will never break–because a true friendship is a promise you keep forever.

That Summer

This book wasn't reallyy interesting. Not much happened except that the main character stopped taking crap from everyone and became more herself. I wasn't impressed with it at all. It was one of the bokos that the movie How To Deal was based on. It ended up not being romantic at all which disappointed me .You might read it if your bored but besides that there isn't much point.

Review/Description

Haven wishes things could just go back to the way they were. Then an old boyfriend of Ashley's reenters the picture, and through him, Haven sees the past for what it really was, and comes to grips with the future.

The Host

ok I have one thing to say this book was.....Extemely Awesome! Almost close to Twilight which of course is understandable since it was a Stephenie Meyer book also. I startewd this book thinking how awful it was going to be since I didn't understand anything going on until after the first hundred pages. So if your confused don't give up it gets better. The characters remind me of some of the Twilight people especially Jamie he reminds me of Jacob. This book had me crying and laughing because of Wanderer, I really liked her. I definetely recommend that you read this book.

Review/Description

The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of their human hosts while leaving their bodies intact, and most of humanity has succumbed.Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, knew about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the too vivid memories.

Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer yearns for a man she's never met. As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off to search for the man they both love.

Fell

Ok this book was alot better than the first one in my opinion. It was the sequel to the book The Sight. It ened alot better as well. It finished off where the first book left off and tied up most of the loose ends. It left open the future for Fell and it least it gave him a happy future. This book was more involved with humans and a human girl (Alina) was one of the main characters. I liked her alot along with Catalin her somewhat boyfriend. It really made the impact if humans in the world a big issue.

Review/Description
The sequel to The Sight (2002) is another mesmerizing page-turner set in Transylvania, in which the author again draws on old legends and tales, including those about Baba Yaga and Dracula. Fell, the black wolf who wanders without a pack, and Alina, a 15-year-old human, are both gifted with the Sight, which enables them to communicate, and both haunted by frightening visions, dreams, and inner demons. The companions join forces to fulfill a prophecy indicating that Alina willrescue nature itself from doom. Their trek is fraught with perils introduced by the evil Lord Vladeran, who tried to have Alina killed asa very little girl and has recently learned that she still lives. Vladeran's arsenal includes the spirit of the cunning wolf Morgra, called up to exert dark powers over Fell. Despite some minor discrepancies and an ending that feels way too pat, this book will be deemed worth the trip by returning readers as well as some newcomers, who will find sufficient back story to illuminate this adventure and to pique interest in the earlier one.
