Book Reviews of The Twilight Saga Collection
Book Review: The Power of Disbelief
Summary: 5 Stars
I, Like many others in this generation of Vampires and Werewolves was absolutely disgusted with TWILIGHT! since 2004, I have always been that person who was like "Who would want to read something like that!?". I for whatever reason, absolutely despised the Twilight Books. However, I have never read them. I watched Twilight and thought it was a really bad movie, and that definitely discouraged me from reading any of the books. Well in November of 2009, I was out of books to read so I went to borders and decided to buy JUST Twilight. I thought "Hey what the heck. I shouldn't be insulting people's favorite books when I haven't even read them".
So I read Twilight. I thought it was really fantastic. I read it in just about 7 hours that evening that I bought it. I was so excited about the outcome of the book that I had to get the other books immediately. Sadly, I had no way of getting to a book store that next day so I contacted one of my older sister's friends who was into the Twilight saga and she said she would bring them over for me. That day I quickly read New Moon so that I could go with 2 friends to see the movie. I wasn't very pleased with the movie, I am sure many people can understand why. I absolutely adore Kristen Stewart and always have. She is a good actress, and people that say otherwise obviously don't see all the awards and film applauses she has received in her career. I thought that Robert Pattinson played a great role in the movies and definitely made them likeable. Taylor Lautner boomed as a great actor and that is absolutely wonderful. All the other actors and actresses I was also pleased with, I just didn't think that the movies did the books any justice.
After reading all of the books and being captivated by the imagination, I definitely apologized to everyone I insulted saying the saga was horrible. I really enjoyed it. In fact, in the last 11 months since I began reading the saga, I have read the entire saga 9 more times. Eclipse the movie I thought was pretty good, and don't get me wrong, I have all the dvd's (Eclipse on Pre-Order), But I just think that the books is what should be looked at.
People (like me) are constantly judging books (like the Harry Potter Series) simply by either the movies or by rumor. People do not realize that the actors who play Bella, Edward, Jacob and so on in the movies are not really representing the characters that Stephenie Meyer created. She dreamt up this story and put it on paper. Regardless to your liking of fantasy, vampires, werewolves, or whatever (I myself has always only read Non-Fiction), you have to give everything a try! I mean bashing her and her characters is like taking a child's imagination away. Most people in this world have a good bit of imagination in their lives, and it is wrong to remove it. Just because one may not like the Twilight Saga for whatever reason, it is not something that we all need to insult. It is a beautiful piece of art. There are many books in the past I have read that I had not been fond of. However, I would never bash them, the characters, the author, or the actors who played the characters as it is someone's piece of success.
So Really, I found this entire experience of being part of this world of Twilight to be fascinating. I was in disbelief when I finished the saga over and over again. Always finding something I had missed. It is something that will forever live on. Like the Harry Potter Books (Which I have just decided to pick up reading yesterday after always enjoying the movies), the Twilight Saga has things that are rather enjoyable to imagine (Like Vegetarian Vampires, Half Breed creatures, and a second world of the supernatural) then there are things that many cannot enjoy (Teenage Romance, Small town life, constant drama, dramaqueen for a main character). I mean people may switch those likings around, or not like any of that, but it isn't a reason to insult the saga. I would never again insult a book(s) before reading them. I recommend anything to read these books but do not RELY on the movies for a response. Maybe after you have read and enjoyed the books, see the movies, but the movies definitely do not justify the books. It is something great that the Harry Potter books have really been translated onto screen so perfectly, it is not likely that this happens.
So EVERYONE! Give reading them a try, if you do not like them, than just don't insult them. It isn't necessary. Definitely don't insult the actors for the books or movies being terrible as they just act out the screenplay that is handed to them, and just saying: all the screenplays are horrible.
