Review

Right. Life goes on... I'm still muled over Twilight. Though not as insanely, crazily, nearly unexplainably addicted to it as I was before, but still, I think it was the best book ever published. Shame isn't it? Just a few weeks before I though Eragon and Eldest were the thing.

So anyway, since reading the book, I've been itching to get my hands on New Moon, the second edition. Each time I passed a bookstore I would automatically search for Twilight, hoping that New Moon would accompany it on the shelves, like a perfect couple. OK, not couple, because Midnight Sun is really the bethrothed of Twilight. For you dunderheads out there (just kidding), Twilight is the main version, Bella's version, the girl side of the story. Midnight Sun, however is the... how shall I put it, the sub-version. Its the exact same storyline, exact sequence of events, but this time, Edward (also the main character) is the story-teller.

I shall launch into review, (hey, I'm sure thats not violating the copyrights). Let's start with Twilight. (ehem)

Isabella Marie Swan (Bella) chooses to move to Forks, Washington to live with her dad even though she positively detesses that place. Her mom, (Rene'e) just got remarried to Phil, who is a minor league basketball player and the two of them are off to Florida to get Phil signed up. So off she goes to live it out with Charlie (her dad).

Charlie gets her a red truck, which she is fond off, signs her up for Forks High School.

First impression Edward presented was not so good. They had Biology together, and he gave her a totally antagonist look, and stiffened throughout the whole class. He never relaxed and dashed out when it ended.

All in all, they got together. I shall refrain from further analysis for the fear of bugging innocent readers. They were happy UNTIL James came into the picture. He spotted Bella with the Cullens (Edward's family) and wanted to attack her. Naturally, Edward stepped in front of her and a growling match started. Apparently, James was a tracker, so when Edward stepped up to defend Bella, and the rest of the Cullen's were also intent on protecting this silly human. To him, it was a game, and with Edward, it was even more fun. A challenge.

And so a cat and mouse chase begins. Edward has to leave Bella for a while, to lead James off her trail. Jame's mate, Victoria, was circling Bella's house, and Esme and Rosalie were at Forks, keeping an eye on her dad. But James was one step ahead. He tricked Bella into leaving the vampire's with the threat that he had her mom. It was a trap. Bella suffered 4 broken ribs, a broken leg, a few cracks on the skull and bruises everywhere before Edward came. Well, what did you expect? The hero HAS to arrive right? So that's just about it.

Oh, Bella is afraid of getting old while Edward stays young forever. She's paranoid, in fact. She wants to be with him forever. (God, that sounded corny) But Edward was having none of it. He forcefully refuses to even consider it. So there. The story ends. Sad though, life for them would have been a lot easier if Edward wasn't such a thinker....
