Title: Breaking Dawn Author: Stephanie Meyer Genre: Romance/ Fiction Publisher: Atom Breaking Dawn is the fourth book in the Twilight series. Bella Swan is eighteen years old and desperately wants to be with her boyfriend, Edward Cullen, forever, literally. Edward is a vampire and agrees to Bella’s request but only if she marries him first, she agrees. One month after the wedding, Bella is pregnant and the baby is growing rapidly, due any day. One day, Bella gets up to go to the toilet; the baby stretches and breaks her back. It rips her stomach open and Bella falls unconscious. To save Bella’s life, Edward has to turn her into a vampire. After three days of excruciating pain, Bella after his mother, Esme and Bella’s, Renee. A little while after her birth, the royalty of the vampire world, The Volturi hear about Renesmee. They think that she is an “immortal child” (a human child that has been bitten by a vampire) bent on exposing the vampire world to humans. So they come to destroy her but Bella’s sister-in-law, Alice, brings a hundred year old “immortal child” to the Volturi to prove to them that Renesmee’s kind can grow to live normally; like other vampires...  This was my favourite book in the Twilight series. It is written really well by Stephanie Meyer and is the perfect portrayal of a vampire romance. I think that the only down point of the book is that it was that Alice and her partner Jasper run away because Alice can see the future and knows that something bad is going to happen. I also like the language that the author uses because it is witty, convincing and interesting. My favourite character in the book is Edward because he is so completely selfless and will do anything for Bella. The one annoying thing about him, though, is the fact that whenever Bella says that she wants to be a vampire, he always says “Bella, this world is not for you. You don’t want to be a monster”. The character that I like the least is Victoria. Victoria is a vampire who was trying to get Edward back for killing her partner, James (who was trying to kill Bella at the time). Through the last three books, Victoria has been trying to kill Bella but Edward has always been there to save her. In this book, Victoria’s hunt for Bella comes to an end. In conclusion, I thoroughly loved this book. I thought that it smart and entertaining I think that Stephanie Meyer is a really good writer and I look forward to reading more of her books in the future. I would recommend this book to teenagers who enjoy vampire romances. By Erin

 * Title: Twilight**

Genre: Teenage romance/action/ fantasy

No of pages: 434 Author: Stephanie Meyer

Bella Swann is Bella Swan is a 17 year old girl who decides to live with her dad in a small town in Washington called Forks while her mum and her mum’s new boyfriend, Phil (who is a minor league baseball player) go travelling. At her new school in Forks, Bella meets Edward. Bella and Edward begin to fall in love so he tells her that he is a vampire. Edward is one thousand times gorgeous, fast and stronger then any human, he can also read minds. Edward’s family think of themselves as vegetarians because they survive on the blood of animals and not humans. One day, Edward takes Bella to watch his family play baseball. Whilst they are playing, three other vampires hear them and come to see what the noise is. As they introduce themselves as Laurent, James looks at Bella curiously. The wind blows Bella’s sent towards him and James becomes thirsty for her blood.

I completely loved Twilight! It was a really original way to portray vampire romance. I especially liked the way that Stephanie Meyer made me feel like I was Bella or that I was involved in the narrative. I also liked the use of adjectives in story because it made the story more interesting than I think that it would have been if it had just been full of boring, un-entertaining words.

The character I liked the most was Alice, Edward’s sister because she has a lot of energy and a very bubbly personality. I also like her ‘power’ that she has, she can see the future. I think that is an exiting way to make this vampire story different from all of the others. Jasper (Edward’s brother and Alice’s partner) has the ability to move emotions through people e.g. if he is in a room full of angry people, Jasper can make them feel calm. The person I dislike the most was James because I think that if he wanted to hurt Edward he didn’t need to bring Bella into it.

In conclusion I thoroughly loved and Twilight and it is now my favourite book ever because of how it makes me keep reading and pulls me in. I also like how Stephanie Meyer writes; the adjectives and similes that she uses. I would recommend this book to 12 year olds and older mainly because of the complex language that the author chooses to put in this book.
