Twilight is a story about a girl, Bella, and a moody vampire named Edward; and their cuddling. It mainly consists of Bella describing Edward using words she doesn’t understand and avoiding the word said as if it were the boogey man. Really though, if you don’t understand what Twilight is about at the point you’ve probably been living under a rock or just plain don’t care, which I cant fault you for at all. Twilight isn’t exactly a book that’s on my hit list. In fact it’s horrible.

I’ll admit that when I first read this book I thought it was fantastic, but that’s because I thought it was a parody. I didn’t know it was serious until it became so popular. The reason I thought it was a parody was because it was so awful. The plot, characters, and writing all reek of clichés and awful.

The “plot” and by plot I mean that thing that shows its head every 200 pages or so, revolves around Bella, a girl who I like to think is just suffering from a truly horrible inner ear infection, and Edward, a mentally unstable vampire. I had heard that this book was supposed to be about the passionate love between the deep and engrossing characters but I guess I missed those parts.

The characters in this book are anything but deep and engrossing. Bella is a heroine with all the character strength and charm of a wet tissue, and a personality to match. She is a horrible role model for any girl. She’s so blinded by her “love” for Edward that she completely disregards her family, friends, common sense, and life. She doesn’t care about anything out side of Edward. Without Edward she isn’t a person, not even in her own mind. She thinks Edward is the only thing that makes her worth while. Sure the author tries to tell us she’s intelligent by having her write papers about misogyny in Shakespeare, read Jane Austen books, or listen to other characters comment on how intelligent she is but I just couldn’t buy it. She does nothing to prove she is as intelligent or clever as we are told she

The book is set in Ireland for the most part and is written by an Irish author. Artemis Fowl is a twelve year old genius, who lives on an estate outside of Dublin. He has decided to replace his family’s failing wealth by stealing a Fairy’s `Book’. Artemis learns the language and customs of fairies, and develops a complicated plan to capture a fairy, Holly, in order to trade her for all the gold in the LEPrecons hostage fund. Holly is an energetic Fairy with a bit to prove since her recent catastrophe. The book is fast paced and interesting. The difference between the two worlds is intriguing. The author alternates between the viewpoint of Artemis and Holly. At one point in the middle of the book, the author’s voice pops in and introduces another character, literally. The effect was a speed bump while reading. This is a world where the different species interact; dwarf, trolls, mud people (humans) and fairies are alive and interesting. The author alluded to at least two other stories related to the characters in this book. The problem with the book is I didn’t really identify with any of the characters. There were interesting passages about Artemis and Holly, the Butler character was intriguing, and Commander Root was unique, but none of them had me cheering for them to succeed. Holly was the friendliest character, but she was not the main character. It would be interesting to have a student debate the ethics of Artemis’ plan. What was the good Artemis accomplished? Or was there any at all? The end of the book specifically states that we should not interpret Artemis’ actions regarding his mother and anything other than selfishness. Students will identify with Artemis because he is so smart, smarter than everyone around him, what kid doesn’t feel that? He gets to order around all the adults in his world as well. Artemis is a classic teenager in some ways as well; he wants his mother around, but only on his terms and doing what he wants her to do. I would recommend thi
