so... I finished Eclipse almost last month (2 or 3 weeks maybe, I cant remember) but I've forgot to write my own review... I was busy studying (now I finished).
the book was sort of great (long, but finished it soon), the story wasn't the best, it could have been better. I liked Jacob, he was cool but annoying. Bella still annoying as ever but she's cool (I would totally be her friend), as for Edward, well...he's boring. I don't know, I enjoyed reading the book , so it's great right? but I thought it could be better! the love story is typical: she likes the guy, he likes her... so what's the problem? and why she wants to be a vampire? whats so special about being a bloodsucker, at first it might sound brilliant, but then it becomes boring. I mean I would never give up on food and sleeping (I live for those two).
and what's with Bella? she suddenly falls for Jake, while she's in love with Edward, and Edward is like an idiot as if he was saying "aha !! okay!! whatever!"
you know what was my favorite part? when Bella seduces Edward. well... it wasn't seduction... but I thought, "wow great! she finally wants 2 sleep with him, she became human! and finally something interesting!".
I never thought that Bella is like me (except for favorite book of course if I'm not wrong)
But who am I kidding I totally love Alice. she's my favorite character! she's so cool, she likes having fun and she knows how to, she's most normal person in the whole story!! she's absolutely fantastic.
but anyway... I had this idea for a fan fiction, I had the fan fiction before I started reading this one, but anyway, I would like to keep writing it, even though it doesn't make any sense. (and my language is so bad).
if I ever decide to publish the fan fiction, I'll try to remember to mention it here!
for conclusion.... blah blah blah... the book was good, but New Moon is my favorite!
Eclipse
New Moon
Today I finished reading the second book from twilight series. New Moon
I Loved it !!! I thought it's better than first one.
I'll try first by recommending the book to all those who love romance. and all girls who have fantasies!
this book inspired me to consider unleashing my imagination. and think about new imaginations that no one would ever think of. I have so many fantasies around love stories that I want to build!
You remember when I said first about falling in love with the main lead character, Edward. in this book I fell deeper in love with him. I thought that character is well written, and would make any girl fall in love with him. I would more consider him as the new Mr. Darcy. or let's say Darcy for teens. though I think I already passed my teens year. I'm 18!!!!! and I hate that... ow wait.. Bella (female leading character) has became 18 in this book. ow thank God, I thought I was too old for this book. and now I'm the same age as Bella . even she's a little older than me, in the 3rd book "eclipse" she would be older ... right?? I'm gonna read this book as soon as I can. Or as soon as I can find it... because when I bought the first two books there was no sign of the 3rd. I really hope I can find it. but I can order it as well.
I started liking Jacob in this book. not falling in love with him as Edward, but anyway he was nice and loving. though i didn't think he looked mature as Edward. Stephenie Meyer wrote the perfect Edward!
the bottom line is : I loved this book a lot, it's suitable for all girls from the age of ...mmm let me think, 13 (lees, more i dunno) till the age of 20 something (no idea). as for boys, I dont know if boys like girls fantasy romance....
>> Edward Cullen is my new OBSESSION

Thousand Splendid Suns
I finished reading this book last week.
I enjoyed reading this book, because I never was familiar with Afghanistan. i was familiar with a lot of countries, and they culture, society, and religion.
I've read the Kite Runner. but since the kite runner was about two boys. its much different.
in the kite runner it tales about one of them , from one side, and during the years: 70s 80s(but in America), and 2000s .
as for this book. it tales about two women, from two sides during the years, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s. and all of them in the same place (Afghanistan, Kabul), and this two characters are some different from each other.
I loved this book, and I recommend it to everyone.
and for those who enjoyed the kite runner, they should read it. they'll love this one.

Twilight
At first I've never heard of is book.
One of my online friends, recommended this book (while we were talking about books), and said that this book is the best! she loved it and would consider it as her favorite book.
I thought I might give it a shot, and go find the book (since I have a lot of free time to read).
I finished the book I've been reading, and went to the library, and bought it (it was new coming book to israel).
I've finished the book last week. and the book was great !
It wont suit any older people. but all young adult/ teenagers girls would love it !!
when I read it, I thought it suits more teenage girls ( I usually read Adults books, more interesting for me).
but this book was really interesting. though the story was classical and so typical. but you would fall in love with the main character - Edward! you know how we fall in love with classical heroes : Darcy, Rochester, Wentworth ... and all the others.
the author, Stephenie Meyer mentioned that she named Edward after : Edward Rochester (from Jane Eyre) and Edward Ferrars (from Sense and Sensibility). I think that was a great choice.
and I just fell in love with that character- despite the fact that it's a vampire!
You dont have to be a vampire fan to love this book.
but for those who hate fantasy books, this book is not for them!
the bottom line is : If you are a girl and you love romance and Harry Potter. this book is for you!
by the way, the book is going to be adapted to a film. and Robert Pattinson is going to play the part of Edward (he looks so gorgeous, so I think he'll be perfect for the role).
Cant wait for the Movie.
and going to buy the 2nd book when I get a chance to do that, I've heard it's better than the first. I felt that the 1st one is for introducing the characters and showing the big love between Bella and Edward. so I guess the sequels would be more interesting !

My sister's Keeper

A start
When I was at high school, I didn't read much. I didn't have time, and mood comes very rarely.
Considering the fact that I'm arab living in israel, makes is harder to read. nobody read!
I used to read books in arabic (mostly for school assignments).
then started reading translated books from english (since my english was horrible).
But right now, I've finished high school. I've decided to have a year off, do some unfinished exams, and the psychometry (SAT). also going to look for a job!
Currently I dont have anything to do. so I'm reading books.
From 1st of January till now I've read the following books: the kite runner (translated to hebrew), PS. I love you, dear John, and I'm in the middle of My sister's Keeper.
I have a list for books I already read during the last year (I think they were only 8). I've decided to read more this year.
Hopefully I'll finish as much books as anyone can finish before I get to university.
I found out that I've missing some really great stuff!
