bethany0403 The Hunger Games Sep 30, 2010 6:55 AM I just finished Mockingjay and am DYING to talk to someone other than my dog, Bernie, about this series.  Although he makes some valid points, his opinions don't really make sense.  I have talked several friends into reading this series, but all are on waiting lists for the first book, so any discussion about these books would be welcome!
FashionistaJR The Twilight Saga Sep 19, 2009 4:41 PM When I first found out about Twilight, it was because the movies were coming out and the stars were becoming popular. I am constantly reading and so I am always trying to find a good book. I was in need of a new book to read and decided to read the first chapter of Twilight online- what a disappointment! I found Bella to be depressing and whiny. One day I was in half-price books and found it for $4.00 and decided that I may like it and it was worth reading- I was glad I did. I instantly became addicted to the series and the characters within Twilight. There is something about the series that has a feeling I have yet to experience in another series. There are many kinds of characters in the book and seeing them interact with one and another, their chemistry, etc, was very interesting. While I will agree that it is not as well-written as Harry Potter, I can definitely say that I have yet to become addicted to a series more. If you have doubts in your mind about this book- go to the bookstore and read some of the chapters, see if you can find it cheap.... you, too, may like it.
jamiegirl The Story of Edgar Sawtelle Dec 9, 2008 9:55 AM I recently read The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, at a friends urging. After I finished the book I wasn't sure (of anything), I called my friend and she said the book left her with the same feeling of "that's it, no that's really it" Has anyone else read this book, have any comments about it?
dlmslp the host Jun 2, 2008 6:58 PM having loved stephenie meyer's twilight series, i am currently reading her latest book, the host. though i love sci-fi movies, i wasn't sure i would like reading them...think invasion of the body snatchers...but i am really caring about these characters. there is a very unusual love triangle forming. i am loving this and i am glad i gave it a chance. here is what amazon had to say...Amazon Best of the Month, May 2008: Stephenie Meyer, creator of the phenomenal teen-vamp Twilight series, takes paranormal romance into alien territory in her first adult novel. Those wary of sci-fi or teen angst will be pleasantly surprised by this mature and imaginative thriller, propelled by equal parts action and emotion. A species of altruistic parasites has peacefully assumed control of the minds and bodies of most humans, but feisty Melanie Stryder won't surrender her mind to the alien soul called Wanderer. Overwhelmed by Melanie's memories of fellow resistor Jared, Wanderer yields to her body's longing and sets off into the desert to find him. Likely the first love triangle involving just two bodies, it's unabashedly romantic, and the characters (human and alien) genuinely endearing. Readers intrigued by this familiar-yet-alien world will gleefully note that the story's end leaves the door open for a sequel--or another series. --Mari Malcolm
