Eclipse

I enjoyed this book a lot. It was my favorite book of the saga and my favorite movie so far. This book and movie had a lot of action and was a complete story. There is a love triangle between Edward, Bella and Jacob. All the carters are in this book the humans, vampires and werewolves. In this story Bella and Edward are back together but Jacob is in love with Bella. Jacob is trying to convince Bella that he is better for her and not Edward. There is also a vampire after Bella trying to kill her. So everyone gets together to fight agents the evil coming to town. The movie follows the book very well. When I watched the movie I was so amazed at how much of the book they had in the movie. This is a stand alone book and movie. I would say that both the book and the movie are a must read and must see.

New Moon

I was not much of a fan of New Moon. It was kind of long and drawn out to me. Stephenie Meyers was very wordy in the book. In New Moon the book as well as the movie, they can not stand on there own.  Basically the story is about a girl named Bella, the love of her life Edward the Vampire leaves her and she gets a stronger relationship with a guy named Jacob (who is a werewolf). I was board through out this whole book and I did not really care for the movie either.  Bella mopes through out the whole story, because the love of her life is gone (Edward Cullen). I enjoyed the end of the book as well as the end of the movie. Maybe I am just a fan of the vampires. I feel that is book and movie is just a filler of the saga.

Dear John

This is a love story about a guy who fell in love with a girl. He lives with his father who is in question has a mental illness, who he dose not understand. He leads a life of rebellion and soon realizes that there is more to life, so he joins the army. While home on leave he meets a girl and falls in love with her. In this book their relationship goes through a lot of hardship because he is still in the army and she is at home always waiting for him to come home. I thought that this book was pretty good. I did not like the movie. I felt that the carters in the movie did not match the ones as good in the book. Just read the book you will not miss anything if you do not see the movie.

Twilight

 I enjoyed this book a lot. This book was about a girl who falls in love with a vampire, putting her life in danger. I have to say that I watched this movie before I red the book. I liked the movie so much that I had my daughter watched the movie. She liked the movie so much that she got the book. When I read the book I liked Twilight even more. Of course the movie did not have everything that was in the book. And some of the scenes were changed in the movie. I remember seeing the scene were they were jumping from tree to tree to tree and see the beautiful land scape. I wanted to see how Stephenie Myers the author was going to write that scene but it was not in the book. When I read the book I had a whole new picture of Twilight. The book was so much better than the movie that seeing the movie first did not really hurt the book.

Perfect Chemistry

Perfect Chemistry is a story about, bad boy falls for good girl. The bad boy is not really bad as he is though out to be. We have seen and read this story a thousand times. The way Simone Elkeles, the author writes this story it so appealing. The author puts a modern twist on the story to keep you reading.

The story changes from Alejandro's (Alex) to Brittany's point of view. They have always heard of each other and of course they are from different walks of life. Alex is from the city and Brittany is from the suburbs. Alex father died when he was six and lives in a small apartment with his mom and two brothers. He has joined a gang to protect his family from harm. Brittany is the most popular girl at school, dates the captain of the football team. She feels she has to be perfect for everyone at school and her family. At home her life is not so perfect. Alex and Brittany first have there first encounter in the school parking lot where she almost hits Alex with her car. Then they find out they are in the same chemistry class together and the teacher pairs them up as partners.

This is an exciting story. Simone Elkeles the author has you laughing, crying, and wondering what is going to happen next. The story has an excellent flow all the way till the end, except for the epilogue. I felt it to be a little cheesy. This book age range is fourteen to adult. With all the sexual content I would think sixteen and up.

The Time Travelers Wife

The Time Travelers Wife is more than a science fiction story about time travel. It is a love story about two people and there bonding love for each other. Audrey Niffenegger the author puts this story together so well you do not even know that you are reading a science fiction story. Even though you are reading about time travel, I was able to follow along with the story.

The book starts off with Henry. Henry has a genetic anomaly that makes him time travel to significant places in his life. At the age of thirty-six Henry met the love of his life Clare at the age of six. Being only eight years younger than Henry, Clare grows up knowing who Henry is and has to reintroduce herself to him in the present time, when she is in her twenties. Through this story you will read how Henry's time travel affects there relationship, family and friends.

I really enjoyed this book. I felt for what Henry and Clare when through. The way the author lays out this story you really get caught up in this love story with them. The age range for this book is about 16 to adult.
