Book Review: Twilight Saga
Moonlight.. Incomplete yet complete
I am big fan of Twilight saga. Not just the movie but also the books. When my friend told me that Stephenie Meyer started writing one more edition to Twilight name Moonlight, I was really excited to read it before even she can complete writing it. Love story of Vampire and Human narrated by vampire. How Edward Cullen fell in love with human, how lion fell for the lamb.
As technology enhance people explore different ways to satisfy their curiosity. In short someone got stolen version of Stephenie’s book and next second it was freely available on net. The leaked version spread so fast (thanks to internet), Stephenie decided to stop writing Moonlight. Poor us!
Anyways I also got hang of whatever she wrote so far for Moonlight and I must say it was worth reading it. When I read Twilight book narrated by Bella, I never understood the urge or the intensity in Bella’s love for Edward. But I must say when you read the same version from Edward’s point of view; you will understand the intensity of it.
Edward Cullen is portrait as someone who is from old school of thoughts. His family is not like the normal vampire. They live on animal blood rather than human blood like other vampires. He lives with his parents and 2 brother and 2 sisters.
The vampire who has lived so many years and never felt affection for any of his own kind and even for any human being is broken by one smell. The smell of a girl who is beautiful yet clumsy, good observant yet shy. Edward is very smart and handsome. He also has ability to read not just the human minds but also of his own kind and animals. As I said earlier curiosity gets best out of anyone, the vampire is not the exception to this rule. Edward can read anyone’s mind except Bella’s. Bella’s mind is unreadable. Her thoughts are only for Bella and not anyone else. And this is what triggers Edward’s attention to Bella other than Bella’s smell is like cocaine for him.
He tries to runway from Bella but her smell doesn’t leave him. Apart from that Alice, Edwards sister who see the future, see Edward fall for Bella and Bella turning into a vampire. He gets disturb with such future and tries all his might not to make it true. The bad luck of Bella is so bad that she attracts accident/mishap like magnet. As and when Edwards interacts with Bella, save her from the accident, he keeps on falling in love with her.
Soon Bella comes to know that Edward is vampire and she is ok with it. Story is gradually building and when you are totally into reading and want to know more you meet with dead END. I was so curious to know how Edward will feel when Bella will be chase by other vampire but unfortunately the leaked version didn’t had that.
Still whatever I got was worth reading it. You start wishing that you can get someone who loves us as much as Edward loves Bella. The love which doesn’t follow any boundaries, love who doesn’t need words for communication, love which knows each and every action of yours and also reason behind it, love which accept you as you are, love which cares for you so much that he is willing to give away anything for your safety. We want someone who forgets about the world when they are with you, someone who see you in your worst day and still say your look awesome, someone who is awake all night just to see you sleep. That someone is not just someone but he/she is THE ONE. This might sound too filmy but when you read intense emotions you will think like that…!!!
In short if you like romantic stuff this book is for you!:)
