It’s a positive experience definitely, since it gave me so much confidence in English reading, before this, I thought English reading is only something I need to instead of want to… maybe it’s a hangover from TOEFL. Twilight is the story of Edward and Bella’s romance. And it’s just the emphasis in romance differentiates itself from so many vampire movies I’ve seen before. I might say, the author, Stephen Meyer, add more elements of humanity in vampires that she created, making them more emotional, sentimental, therefore, the story is more relevant and attractive to its human readers.
The story is told in first person from the perspective of Bella, so the reader only ever know what she knows, making Edward and his family a mystery that is slowly unraveled throughout the book. I’ve always been so thirsting for more background stories for the Cullens, werewolves at the end of every chapter. I think the plots in the first two, maybe three books are amazing, but the development in the last one is a little bit off. The imagination is too overwhelming somehow, all those pregnancy stuff make it too far from vampire world.
Well the most exciting point of the book series is the writing style. The author uses the simplest words to make up the most complicated story. Unlike J.K.Rowling’s Harry Potter series, which is my addiction as well, Stephen Meyer doesn’t use so many decent words. Instead, she shows me the charm of prepositions. Sometimes, I’m so impressed at those words, amazed by the way they placed on that order.
All in all, twilight is a great book! Btw, I heard Stephen Meyer is working on the fifth book, telling the story all over again but from Edward’s perspective. Really looking forward to~
