‘Bella?’ Edward’s soft voice came from behind me. I turned to see him spring lightly up the porch steps, his hair windblown from running. He pulled me into his arms at once, and kissed me again. His kiss frightened me. There was too much tension, too strong an edge to the way his lips crushed mine - like he was afraid we had only so much time left to us. As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob - knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which? Following the international bestsellers Twilight and New Moon, Eclipse is the much-anticipated third book in Stephenie Meyer’s captivating saga of vampire romance.

Twilight is the story of Edward and Bella’s romance.  Forget any vampire romance you have read before, Twilight is so unique it is almost like it’s in its own genre.  The book is marketed at Young Adult readers but it has the ability to cross age barriers and will satisfy both teenagers and adults alike.



The Grass is Singing

28 02 2009

Título: The Grass is Singing

Autor: Doris Lessing

Editorial: Penguin Readers

Obra adaptada: Sí

Nivel: Intermedio

Reseña:

It was published in 1950 and it is Doris Lessing’s first novel. The story takes place in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in South Africa in the late 1940s. It is both a historical novel and love story; The Grass is Singing is a powerful psychological study of an unhappy woman and her marriage. But at the same time, Doris Lessing draws a picture of Rhodesian society; she shows us how badly many white people treated black people during that period through the story of The Turners.The plot is centered around the Turners’ life and how the poverty and their way of life change their personality. The heroine Mary, falls obsessively in love with her black houseboy, Moses. She treats him cruelly, as she treats all Africans. The story ends with Mary’s madness and murder.

From my point of view, the book is really entertaining. It is so gripping that I couldn’t put it down. The most entertaining chapter is number two, when the narrator tells about the moment  Mary and Dick met each other.I think it is easy to understand and the language was not too difficult; the book is highly recommendable. I would like to recommend it to people who like novels and complicated and temperamental characters.
