A Romance Worth Your Time
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
Publication Date: September 2006
5 out of 5 stars
PG - Violence and Brief Profanity
Isabella Bella Swan is leaving her warm Arizona home for the cloudy, dreary town of Forks, Washington. Not like she had much of a chose. She was obviously tainting her mothers happiness. Moving in with Charlie (Dad) seemed like a reasonable (well, only) option. Bella is expecting a boring, long stay with few reprieves from the small town everyone-knows-everyone elses-business atmosphere. What she didnt expect was to fall in love& with a vampire.
Twilight was a great teenage romance with a nice little paranormal touch.
Every page ran smoothly into the next. There was never a good okay, I can take a bathroom break now moment. The days didnt mush together to form one confusing nightmare, but a smooth escalation to the next climatic point.
Bella and Edward were both likeable and human. Their emotions and facial expressions sometimes told more than the dialogue. Both were unique and clearly stood out in the crowd, even if they didnt notice it happening. Their ability to almost always do the complete opposite of what you expected made them extremely enjoyable to follow. Their unpredictability always had you guessing, no matter what the size or the importance of the matter.
There was no sexual content. They could kiss and say I love you and mean it. They didnt even need to talk, they could say I love you just by enjoying each others company in utter silence. Bella and Edward daily lived the motto: live, laugh, love. All these things made their love all the more sweeter, purer, and truer. They didnt just like each other or plan on just having a little fling, they loved each other.
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13
I suggest this book to any reader, be you 12 or 30.
