The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner




This review is in English for you mr. Ibarra!

I've been told that I shouldn't like the Twilight saga. I've been told that I have the wrong gender. I've been told that I'm too old. Well, screw them! I love the books - even this one.

But lets be honest. The book bored me. I found the story tedious. I couldn't even take breaks; the book is 178 pages long and wasn't divided into chapters, nor was it divided into sections. To top it all, it's about a rather uninteresting subject: Vampires, or more precisely: Newborn vampires.

Bree Tanner makes a brief appearance in the third book of the Twilight saga. There she dies just minutes after the sagas main character, Bella, gets introduced to her. The author, Stephanie Meyer, writes the saga in first person point of view, and because Bella didn't know Bree we didn't get to know her part in the saga. As it turns out she really plays an important part.

So lets put the story aside. Deep down we all know its bad. So why do I love the saga? Well, the answer is obvious. It's Meyers writingstyle that captures me. I don't know what it is. I have read a lot of books where the author uses a first person point of view, but no author has captured me the way that she has. I guess it has something to do with the way she makes you connect with the characters. When you read a Meyer book you don't just think the characters' thoughts, you feel their sentiments. You don't just understand their dilemmas, you dread them.

Meyer has a magical way of making the characters become a small part of you. If not permanently, at least for a small period of time.

... or maybe it's just the naïv teenager inside me that hasn't died yet. You know, the teenager that is a sucker for a romantic story.

  2. You're going to need to be mindfully sound and acting right-mindedly from Spirit instead of the judgmental wrong-minded ego. You'll need a healed attitude if you're ever to experience positive reconciliation when it comes to contacting your ex in a couple of weeks or months, or however long it takes. The leaving a relationship, or break up advice, you're looking for is about finding techniques for how to cope with healing your wounds, if you have no interest in rekindling the relationship. You have to have the ability to move forward in life, so above all, provide yourself time, and you might want to deal with the ending of the relationship nearly like a death. how to tell if a guy likes you

  8. "Shopping and buying" in the layman's perspective, "Purchasing" in the marketing parlance all means to give money for something we get. To be short, it is trade. Barter was one system those days to exchange goods against goods where no money and calculation came into action. For example a kg of rice was exchanged for a kg of wheat and so on. Those days have gone. Now it is all money. People started thinking big when they started earning more and more. 셔츠룸

  41. Today I sat contemplating the meaning of the term 'eco fashion'. I thought to myself, "If anyone should really understand the meaning of the above it should be me, as I have dedicated the best part of three years toward the creation of an eco fashion brand." The problem is there is no point in me understanding the meaning if others can't conceptualise the term, and how it may fit into their lifestyle. maderotherapy dubai
