Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Jenny

This is the first book by Stephenie Meyer in her Edward and Bella series. I had actually first picked up this book when it was an advanced reader's book in my library and for whatever reason completely missed the part about it being a book about vampires.

This book has everyhing in it romance, suspense, adventure, and supernatural like happenings. It is one of my favorite books. The book starts out with the narrator, Bella Swan, moving from sunny Phenoix to the dreary overcast town of Forks, Washington. Later at Bella's first day of school we meet the Cullens, a beautiful group of "siblings". Bella can't take er eyes off of them, especially one in paricular, Edward Cullen. Later she has Chemistry with him and for some reason sits as far away from her as possible. only later does Bella find ot that it is becasue Edward is a Vampire and htat her blood calls to him. Even through this Edward and Bella forge a friendship an later a realtionship. The young couple then has to fight for Bella's life when she is threatened by an evil vampire that does not abstain from human blood the way the Cullens do. The Cullens feed on animal blood and jokingly call temsleves "vegetarians".

This book is positively wonderful. Everyone should read it, it has something for everyone, you will not be able to put it down.
