I have just finished “New Moon” I can’t believe I read it that fast. I was itching to finish Twilight and then it was done and I was so bummed! Lucky there are three more books after “Twilight”. I predict these books will be approaching being as well read in coming years as the Harry Potter books. The writing of Stephanie Meyer continues to impress me. The characters of Edward and Bel... more.

Edward does not seem to realize a tracker might materialize at any moment. How much of this is wishful thinking and how much of his surprise of a 17 year old without much of a dating track record? As a first date, Bella’s getting almost attacked in Seattle makes for high drama. Then, they fly away to the woods.

We've all enjoyed the array and selection of cool cars that appear in the Twilight novel series (and the  movie). Most are owned by the Cullen family - rich enough to afford an array of terrific wheels. From Alice's Porsche to the Vanquish.

Even the name of the town “Forks”, is clever, the tone like a Du Maurier novel. Forks will be Bella’s “fork” in the road. I also admire the choice of name for Bella. “Belle” is a French ter... more.

When 17 year-old Bella Swan moves to the town of Forks, she is sure that she'll hate it there, as she has avoided the place enough in the past.  The weather is misty and rainy there, unlike Arizona where she is from.  Now she'll be forced to start all over again, with new friends and a new school.  She makes friends with a boy named Edward Cullen.  Their friendship is slow to develop, but over... more.
