Twilight!! (SPOILER WARNINGS)

These days I’m getting pretty bored and so I shall be boring you guys about nothing in particular in my life…!

There is this series of books, Twilight series… I’ve decided to dedicate this post in it’s honour… (Spoiler warning, nobody say I didn’t tell you!!)

It’s the story of a vampire *subtle background music* and a girl *music getting louder* who fall in love *crescendo please* despite the fact that the thing he craves most is her blood. *Music ending with a lovely decrescendo* (for those not well versed with music and it’s terms, crescendo means gradual rise in volume and decrescendo is right the opposite)
Of course like most books it has a villain (the evil vampire who is desperate for her blood) but he comes way after half the first book is over.! He dies at the end of the first book and his revenge seeking girlfriend/wife/soul mate/light for eternity/something along those lines is the protagonist of the series in general. Though it is slightly melodramatic and cheesy, I can’t deny that to some extent it is quite cute.

A vampire that goes to school and has been doing so for the last 90 something years, one who along with his family has promised never to drink human blood; is quite intriguing and bring into the second part of the series their worst enemies: the werewolves, and we have a deal!! As we find that the beta of the werewolves happens to be our very own friendly human’s (Isabella Swan, Bella for short!) best friend, the Hindi movie associations become clearer!!


Our vampire goes on a short hiatus at the beginning of the second book leading to the entry and establishment of the best friend. Some dangerous sports, an assumed death and immense pain at separation leads our vampire (actually it was the assumed death of the little, frail human) to go to Italy to seek help from the rule makers (supposed) and keepers for the vampires to seek his very own death. Bella’s rushing into Italy and saving him along with a little help from his step sister brings about an almost happy ending.

Notice the almost, the epilogue is actually her getting grounded due to the fact that her police father is told of her motorcycle riding and the such by her (enemy) best bud!
The third book is by far the cheesiest and the one with the most amount of sun!

There is a proposal and she agrees to get married to the friendly vampire (not without a fight mind you!! :look: ) Anyway, at the end there is a fight between Victoria, the protagonist builds an army of strong but stupid baby vampires who nearly wipe out an entire town; and the good, virtuous vampires as well as the wolves. Finishing with the coming of the Volturi (Italian rulers) and a very senty confrontation with the best friend… It is quite a story.

Though I have given quite a sad synopsis of the story (missed out major segments that some will kill me for missing) it’s not so bad and I know many who would like it!! xD
Read if you want to but I would suggest only those who really and genuinely like love stories, read it; otherwise many will puke!! xD xD

Enjoy.! Also stay away from scary looking people and keep your chin up for the results!!
