Twilight Saga

Dear All,

We have been exposed to these Twilight Saga since 2 or 3 years ago. It has been a phenomenon since. Iam really not a huge fan of Twilightmania thing but have seen the first 2 saga, Twilight and New Moon. The third saga will be up for viewing by upcoming June 2010.

Last week, due to bore and lonelyness, I went to Midvalley to catch a movie, Clash of the Titans and do some window-shopping. After bought the ticket, i just clueless and did not knew where to go. Went "lepak-lepak" at Starbucks @ Garden until I am bored to death. Decided go to Borders to find some light reading. As I entered, I saw 1 whole section filled with Twilight Saga's books. So, I said to myself, why not. I just grab the third saga, Eclipse coz I've watch the earliest 2 before so it would'nt much different. Not expensive and affordable, just RM49.90.

As I start reading it, i just can't get my eyes over it. Stephanie Meyers done a great job. and I definately buy the forth saga, infact will buy the first two also as soon as I get back from Kota Kinabalu next week.

These are the books and a a review from their blog. get your copy now and I can ensure you that they are damn good.


When seventeen year-old Bella Swan leaves Arizona to live with her father in the small and gloomy town of Forks, she doesn' expect to like it. When she was younger, she was forced to visit her father in Forks. The last few years were filled with excuses of why she couldn't visit Forks, so she wasn't expecting expecting to care for such a tiny town. If living in Forks, with its constant mist and rain,w asn't bad enough, she will make the whole new set of friends and settle into a new school. Bella finds it easy to make new friends at school but when she sees a boy called Edward Cullen sitting with his brothers and sisters in the cafetaria, she is instantly intrigued. Edward is stunningly attractive, almost inhumanly beautiful, and yet he is an outsider. Although Edward and his family have lived on Forks for two years, they have never really been accepted by the townfolks. At first Edward is aloof, sometimes it almost seems like he can't stand to be in the same room as her, but eventually they strike up an unlikely friendship.

Even as Bella falls hopelessly and irrevocably in love with Edward, she still can't work out exactly what makes him so different to everyone else. On a trip to the beach, Bella is told of the local legend about the "cold ones", a group of blood drinkers who have sworn off hunting humans but still not welcome on Indian land because vampires are not to be trusted. realising Edward is vampire changes nothing to Bella, she knows that she still loves him even if he's not human. Edward and his whole family are vampires. Edward himself was made a vampire when he was seventeen years-old, although that was at the end of World War I. For Edward his love for Bella is both a delight and forment. A delight because she is the first person he has loved since he was made a vampire. A forment because although he has sworn off human blood and only hunts animals, the craving for human blood never truly leaves him and the very scent of her also stirs his hunger for blood.



It's Isabella Swan's 18th Birthday, and unlike the rest of her high school classmates, she's been dreading this milestone for months. once Bella turns 18, she'll officially be older than her beloved edward Cullen, eho is 17 and remain so until the end of time. Dazzlingly handsome Edward, like the rest of his family, is undead, a vampire destined to remain young and beautiful forever; while mortals like Bella age and perish all around them.

Fllowing a frightening wncounter with some of Edward's siblings after she cuts her finger on wrapping paper (the Cullens pledge to hunt only wild animals, but the smell of human blood can send them into a frenzy), Edward grows increasingly distant with Bella. finally he drops a bombshell---he is leaving Bella forever, finally embracing his vampire characteristics and longer, as he tells her "pretending to be somthing I'm not". Disappearing suddenly into a dark and moonless wood, Edward leaves Bella utterly alone and despondent. "I hoped that I was fainting, but, to my disappointment, I didn't lose consciousness. The waves of pain that had only lapped at me before now reared high up and washed over my head, pulling me under."

Bella drowns in her pain for months, resurfing only when her father threatens to send her to see a psycologist or to live with her mother. Desperate not to forget Edward, Bella rekindles a friendship with Jacob Black, a large, hard-edged boy with tendency to live life recklessly. Jacob lives on the area's Indian reservation, whose inhabitats loathe the vampires for reasons that become increasingly clear as Bella's friendship with Jabob deepens. Bella's thrill-seeking adventures with jake, though, attract attention, leading Bella back to Edward--and to a new threat neither one of them ever inticipated.

It's just a few weeks before high school graduation, and although most girls Bella Swan's age would be focused on what to wear to the big dance or how to pass calculus, Bella has a few more important things on her mind. Now that she's been reunited with her vanpire boyfriend Edward, Bella must decide whether---and when---to join him and his coven, to forsake her mortality (and her friends and family) to live, like Edward, forever.

Bella finally thinking a little about implications of her decision to become a vampire standing up to Edward's dominating, overprotective tendencies. Edward is an old-fashioned guy. He won't turn Bella into a vampire unless she marries him first, and the idea of telling him she's getting married at 18 is more terrifying than admitting to her futire transformation. bella would also have to move far away from her beloved father during their dangerous "newborn" vampire period, when she sould be unable to control her bloodthirsty urges. and then there's jake, the werewolf who finally pledges his love to Bella.

Is she really ready to leave him behind? Bella does feel some urgency for this decision, though. She has made some enemies who would be more than happy to harm her while they still can. What's more, there's a newborn vampire on the loose in Seattle, terrorizing humans nad threatening either the Cullen family or Bella herself. Clearly, time is running out while Bella hesitates.

Bella Swan is ecstatic---and nervous. She's on the brink marrying the love of her life, the charasmatic, devastatingly handsome Edward Cullen. Bella's parents have reluctantly come around to the idea of their teenage daughter getting married. And the Cullens, particularly Bella's good friend alice, who plans the event, couldn't be happier. Only Bella's old pal Jacob is upset at losing Bella. The wedding goes smoothly and beautifully, and Edward and Bella spend magical honeymoon on a private island.

There, they are finally able to indulge the desire they've always felt for each other (even their lovemaking initially results in injuries both to Bella and their rooms, thanks to Edward's uncontrollable passion). When Bella begins to be alternately sick and ravenous, she become suspicious that---despite everything she's been told about the impossibility of such a thing---she might get pregnant with Edward's child. terrified that she could lose her life to the ravenous, vampiric unborn child inside her, pressured bu Edward and others to rid herself of the baby.

Bella retreats into herself, concerned only with protecting her unborn child, even if it means harm to herself. As for Jacob, he tries in vain to imprint on other females, but he cannot forget Bella, especially when her learns of her perilous pregnancy and physical condition. When Bella and Edward's daughter is born, is it possible that this half-human, half-vampire can unite the Cullens and Jacob's shape-shifting La Push clan? Could she be catalyst for Jacob and Edward's reconciliation? Or does her very existance---particularly once word of her birth reaches the dangerous Voltari campire clan---put everything Bella loves at risks?

Well, happy reading!!!
