Twilight

I read this book mainly because everyone was raving about the movie. I was, quite bored at the beginning of the first two chapters, but chapter 3 starts getting better when Edward save Bella. It wasn’t what I imagine; I thought it would be tense. (Ok, I guess if I want tense- I should read James Patterson.) The book is a great page-turner due to the fact; I wanted to know more about Bella and Edward’s relationship. Edward is really appealing and handsome and Bella, the smart, sweet and nonjudgmental girl. I feel like a teenager all over again! There’s always something sexy, passionate about vampires, perhaps because they are immortal? =) Finding your soul mate or simply because we can’t have what we want or could we?

=) Imagine meeting the family of your bf, not just any family- but a vampire family and hoping they will like you. Like “Confession of a shopaholics”, I found myself caring for the characters- I loved Edward; I feared for Bella and I cringed from James. Poor Bella panicking at the hotel, I would too.

I couldn't put this book down. I'm eager to read the next books in the series! NEW MOON! I found myself reading for hours on end, involved in what was going on. Just don’t take this book too seriously and you’ll enjoy it! I love it! Especially reading about Edward. =)

Water for Elephants

I was hopelessly disappointed with the novel. The beginning was good, you feel sorry for Jacob and his life at the nursing home. You want to read more, especially after his parent were killed. So I kept thinking something great would happen between Marlena and Jacob’s love affair. At the end, Old Jacob ends up back in the circus at 90’s year old. Can’t believe Rosie, the elephant can kill Austin. However, it was interesting to read about the circus during the depressing years.
