Twilight by Stephenie Meyer (2006, Paperback, Reprint)

Stephenie Meyer is one of the many people who happen to have written a book; c'mon, who hasn't? Meyer, however, stands out in her own litle world very much like J.K. Rowling with her Harry Potter series, and as you read on in this, you'll see why. (If you see 'SPOILER' written anywhere, don't read if you don't want to hear parts of the book that haven't already been mentioned in reviews online.)

The book Twilight, the story jumps right into the tale of Bella Swan, formally known as Isabella Swan, a girl who has divorced parents, and is off from her sunny Jacksonville home in Florida to live with her father in Forks, Washington, where as she puts it, 'the rain never stops'. The dreary agreement to move in with her father was due to the fact that Bella did not want to strain her mother's new marriage to her new husband, who was trying to kick off his basketball career.

Bella, like any person moving to another place and attending a new school, starts off like and normal real person would; she meets people, drives to school, and like every girl, catches the sight of the cutest boy in school, Edward Cullen. Everyone tells Bella the same tale; they know little to nothing about dear Edward, except that he never comes to school on sunny days. Oh- that, and he's deathly beautiful.

Bella, determined to figure out what exactly Edward is, litterally places her neck on the line and avoids death one too many times in Forks, where she is known mostly as a 'danger magnet'. Her father, the police chief, keeps an eye on his high school daughter quite frequently. Eventually it gets to a point where you'll catch on that these two are the today fantasy version of Romeo and Juliet...without the deadly ending. For now.

-SPOILER-

As Bella follows along after Edward, their relationship grows more closer, more intimate, until Edward cannot keep himself away from Bella and says, "I'm tired of trying to stay away from you."


-END OF SPOILER-


The best part of this book was that it was so real, you had to wonder frequently if it really was real. Forks is an actual place in Washington, as so is Jacksonville. The line between real and fake in the book it so murky you don't care- you just want to read more and pray it never ends.

But dont't worry, the sequel, New Moon, gets better too.

I decided to get this book because I had heard a lot of good things about it from my friends and also people in my family. They told me I had to read it that I would love it. I finally had heard enough about it and that's why I decided to get the book. Well I got the book and I had remembered looking at the covers of all the books and I remember just the front covers caught my eye and I wanted to read them. I read this book in two days. Yes two days and yes it has like 500 and somethign pages lol. This is how intregued I was with this book. I lvoe the characters it's almost like I am bella and all this is happening to me in my mind. I also like how it is so descriptive. I am currently reading the second one now New Moon. I haven't finished it yet actually I just started yesterday. I don't believe there was a thing I didn't like in this book. I can't wait to see the movie when it comes out this year.
