Phantom of the Opera---OR
Phantom of the Opera is a story about a man who was diformed at birth, and now lives underneath the opera house in Paris. Christine Daae, daughter of a famous swedish violinist, works in the operas, no body really knows what an amazingvoice she has, though--only the phantom. Over the last few years or so, it is said that she has been taking lessons from the phantom, yet she has never seen his face because it is all done within her dreams. When asked who her tutor is, Christine just says it is the "Angel of Music." She finally meets this angel after one of her performances at the opera in which she was the lead (the woman who usual is the lead, Carlotta, quit mid-rehersals). The phantom then comes to Christine through a mirror in her dressing room and takes her down to his layer. He almost "posses" her in a way because she falls into a trace. She spends the night down there with him, and when she wakes, she is frightened for she doesn't know where she is. The phantom then takes her back to the opera house where she then meets her fiance, Raoul.

Breaking Dawn OR post #59
Once the Volturi came, the Cullens went after them. They faught for days. Bella continued to get more and more worried as the days contiuned. Finally, after 4 days, the Voltuir surrendered to the Cullens leaving the victorious in the Battle.
When it was all over, Bella ran to Edward and they just hugged for a really long time. Then, Reneesme came and hugged her parents. The three of them were so happy, because now, they could finally be a family and be together forever.
They final scene you read of them in Edwrad and Bella lying in bed together, talking about Renesme and how they are palnniong on raising her and what not. The final words that Edwrad says are "We have plenty of time to work on that" and Bella replies "Forever. and then Edward says "Forever and ever." They end kissing each other.
I was very happy with the Twilight series. It was by far one of my favorites. Of the four books, I preferred Twilight the best. This is because I liked how the main focus of the book was on their relationship and not on whos attacking who. The other books were very good also, but I just prefer the first book.

Slaughterhouse Five---post #48
For my choice reading, I choose Slaughterhouse Five. It is a good book in my opinion. Basically, it is about Kurt Vonnegut, or "Yon Yonson" (name he calls himself in the book) writing baout his time at Dresdin during the war. He had this friend, Billy Pilgrim, during the war. He is a very interesting character. He is now a middle aged, metally ill man. The reaosn for his mental illness is that he was in a car accident years back. Now, he had very frequent flashbacks of the war and other events that took place during his life. Another thing he often speaks of though is his kidnapping by the Tralfamadorians. They are like space aliens, but humans, and they come from a place called Tralfamadore. They some how "kidnapped" Billy and took him to their planet during his time at Dresdin. Obviously, this is not true. But for some reason or another, probebly because of his mental illness, he thinks otherwise. HIs daughter is always worring about him. She often comes home looking for him, but she won't find him for maybe 20 minutes because he is off hiding somewhere. This could become a serious issue in Billy Pilgrims life, and the novel for that matter.
