Twilight Saga Review

-

     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 it's already kinda creepy.  But in a good way :)  So far, it's pretty good.  It starts off slow, but then you read: "The hunter smiled in a friendly way as he sauntered forward to kill me."  Wow... is she okay??  Again, not even 1 minute later, and she's already facing death!  This shows that the story is gooood.  Anyway, stay tuned for chapter 1!

    Your introduction was very good, however, the summary of the book was a little short. You could probably add a few more chapters for your review next time.

      Thank you for your feedback. To clarify, I decided to go chapter by chapter per post.

    Joey, I'm so glad you're enjoying Twilight! My mom was always a fan of the book series, but I still have never read the books, I only have watched the movies. I would like to hear more about this chapter though. What characters are introduced? What's your first impression on the writing style?

    I love Twilight! I read the books and watched the movies last year, and I loved how engaging the plot was. I think the first book and movie are the best; the plot is the most fresh and surprising, and the newness of the protagonist's relationships makes the book so fun to read. I also love how you wrote this post! Your tone is very casual and friendly, and I think it's amazing how you talked about a plot point that the movie and book both have in common to start the post. Also, I tried reading Midnight Sun last year, and I eventually gave up because I didn't think it was worth it, but this post reminded me how much I adored Twilight :) Your review of the preface was spectacular, good job!

    Hi Joey, this is a great start to the Twilight series! I've always watched bits and pieces of the movies but I have never read the books. I think you could include more about the characters and story plot from the book. You could compare the movies with the book too. The summary was a little short, but I'm excited to read more about it!

Mumbo Jumbo blog post

  Ishamal Reed described Jes Grew as a mysterious "plague" of rhythm, joy, and expression that sweeps across America, with its heart at Harlem. This epidemic threatened the quiet traditional ways of Western civilization because it is different and isn't really understood. But, while Jes Grew was portrayed as a fictional "disease" that became known as the Harlem Renaissance, it's pretty evident that Jes Grew never really ended, but simply resurfaced through different forms. As time has evolved, so has Jes Grew. With new forms of expression like social media, which provide new avenues for millions to share their content through dances, cooking, or simply sharing their opinions, Jes Grew has taken several forms by challenging mainstream norms.  In Mumbo Jumbo, Jes Grew is made to be contagious, which perfectly aligns with modern music and dance. Modern music is constantly changing. As new producers enter the space and add new types of sounds and beats, the mus...

Summary and thoughts on "Eclipse" by Stephenie Meyer --Joey Ray

-
     Note: I finished reading this a little big ago.  And I've seen the movie so many times.  I started reading Breaking Dawn (Next Twilight Book), but felt it would be weird to skip a book and write a summary and spoil things that may be hard to understand without knowing what happened in Eclipse.  So if you notice any mix ups between the movie and the book, I apologize.  But I tried to remember correctly about the book.  Enjoy!      When many missing persons cases occur in Seattle, Bella and the Cullens have no idea that they are involved with the conflict.  Suddenly Alice, Edward's sister, has a vision that seems to startle her greatly.  Bella can tell that something is going on, but Edward won't say.        Soon, Edward arranges for Bella to use her birthday gift from Esme and Carlisle, Edward's parents, which are plane tickets to Pheonix to visit her Mom, Renee.  After the trip, the Bella...

Girl in the Shadows by Gwenda Bond Book Review

  Girl in the Shadows Book Review      This book is filled with magic and courage. Moira Mitchell, who inspires to become a magician just like her father, goes on a journey to become one. She leaves home to join a famous circus despite her father's wishes. Magic soon finds itself with Moira, the kind both explainable and unexplainable. Along with magic, a hidden organization, the Prestige, is introduced into her life. There starts the power struggle of both groups for the ultimate magic relic.      This book took me a long time to finish. I feel like this plot was a bit basic and uninteresting. I feel like perhaps a more complex plot and more unexpected twists would have intrigued me a bit more. I would summarize this story as a girl who finds powerful magic and fights the antagonist for it... not a big fan of it.      Though, this story demonstrates the courage to not give up. The author demonstrates this mainly through the protagonist'...
