The Book Stop

       I've decided to post about my Twilight Saga reading experience.  For those who don't know what Twilight is, it is a book series about a girl who falls in love with a vampire.  Sure, it sounds very cheesy and weird.  But, when I saw the movies, I LOVED the storyline.  It was very intense and filled with action.  When I found out that the movies were based on the famous book series, I really wanted to read them.  Honestly, I am not someone who enjoys reading unless it's some sort of SpongeBob comic.  But I figure that if the movies are good, the books are too!  Anyway, I'll stop rambling and get started.  Enjoy!        So since the book begins with a Pre Face, we might as well start the conversation there.  It begins with a sentence that was spoken as the first line in the movie!        "I'd never given much thought to how I would die", two seconds into this story and ...

When the time comes, she chooses to leave her family behind to pursue a spot in the Dauntless faction while hiding her secret. She then goes through with the trials, only to discover that Erudite, one of the factions, is plotting a gruesome plan.   The action, mystery, and romance made this book an incredible read. In my opinion, some of her decisions were very bold and dangerous. I have to admit that some of the choices she made were a bit frustrating, but they were pretty realistic given her circumstances. It was heartbreaking to see Tri's loved ones suffer caused by the greed of someone else....
