Comfy-Chair Reading: The Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer
This series was a rushed escape--they are intensely romantic, easy to read page-turners. Inspired by Four Word Film Reviews, I decided to describe each of these books in four words. If you haven't read them, these will likely make no sense, but I know I would have liked to have had no prior knowledge of the content, and definitely less hype, so the less you know the better.
Twilight: "VEGETARIAN" VAMPIRE CRAVES KLUTZ
New Moon: WEREWOLF COMFORTS MOURNING DAREDEVIL
Eclipse: HEATER OR ICE PACK?
Those who have read this series, feel free to contribute your own four-word reviews! And of course, who do you prefer--the heater or the ice-pack?

hmmm. i'd have to think about the four-word reviews ... but i'll cast my vote for the "ice pack"! :)
ReplyDeleteMy vote goes to the "ICE PACK"
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Edward Cullen (Ice Pack).. Any one prefer Jacob Black(Heater)?
ReplyDeletefor the record, my daughters (17yo and almost 12yo) and some of my sisters prefer the "heater"! which is fine - because that leaves Edward for me. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear someone who's rooting for Jacob. I am probably more naturally attracted to Edward, but I can't help but think that she's got to end up with Jacob in the end. I don't see Bella becoming a vampire, so that leaves either Jacob, or Edward somehow becoming mortal. I think of Jacob as a sort of Harrison Ford as Han Solo character--kind of immature, rough around the edges, slightly arrogance tempered with an irresistable insecurity. To me Edward is the dream we all have of the perfect romantic male that we have to give up someday and realize just doesn't exist. Is that pessimistic, or what?
ReplyDeleteyou can't see bella becoming a vampire? that's an interesting point-of-view that'd be fun to entertain. here's another outrageous one: jacob imprints on bella? haha.
ReplyDeleteYour four word reviews were perfect. I've actually on the read the first one, but know more or less what happens in the other two. Thanks for the laugh!
ReplyDeleteDefinately the icepack. I really like Jacob when he's "Bella's Jacob", but it irritates me to no end when makes rude comments about the Cullens and when he's trying to seduce Bella. But luckily he's not imprinted on Bella so that still leaves someone out there in the world for him. I really love Jacob, but I'm preferr Edward.
ReplyDeleteLoved the 4-word review for Twilight! haha! I haven't read the others yet...so no comment on them. :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent review!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wanna tell you something important for Haiti going to happen in the nearest future. You all already have known that Outgoing Haitian President René Préval has set the presidential elections for Nov. 28, 2010.
As i'm concern about my Haiti. After an Heavy natural disaster It's become back dated. And bearing unmeasurable sufferings. Still now it's facing crisis from all sides, created from the Earth Quake as well as by nature. But It's time to change the day, So request all of you to come forward to make tha days ahead distinctly.
I think at this moment HAITI really needs help to be rebuild.
According to ma justification,
Charlito Henri Baker should be under consideration as a deserving personality,
who can supply the best support and leadership as a president.
Thank you.
Excellent review!!!!!
