This book is great. However, I feel that everyone is simply obsessed with it, and to me, it doesn't deserve the massive amounts of hype it is recieving. Yes, it is a good book. Yes, it is a good story. However, Stephenie Meyer's writing style doesn't completely appeal to me, and it is only because of the story, not the writing, that I have re-read this book.

17-year-old Isabella Swan left her home where she lived with her mother in Phoenix to live with her father in Forks, Washington. She didnt know when she could get used to the change in her surroundings, but she soon makes friends. What Bella is stuck on and confused about, though, is that family of five beautiful people that sit by themselves during lunch, especially the handsome bronze-haired boy, Edward Cullen. She becomes friends with Edward, though there is still too much about him that she doesnt know. While they are falling in love, Bella soon finds out that Edward and his family are& vampires.

After hearing all the talk about the new Twilight movie I decided to read the book and I wasnt disappointed! The love Edward and Bella shared was indescribable and real. Bellas perspective on everything was fun to read about and the way Edward did things left me tongue-tied. I stayed up to two in the morning thinking, Just finish this chapter. As you can imagine, I read more than just that one chapter. Everything pulled together so nicely that I didnt even have any questions at the end. I dont want to the read the next book because I want to know what happens. I need to know.

Isabella swan never really fitted in with the group. Her parents had a divorce so she was living in phoenix with her mother. Then she went to the tiny town of Forks to live with her father. As Bella came to Forks things changed. She never expected to find the love of her life here. She went to Forks High School, where she made many new friends. Though she didnt like having them around they were very happy they had a new student in their school. There was one group that caught Bellas eyes though. The Cullens she heard her friends whisper. There was something about them that Bella couldnt quite get. They were beautiful. There skin was pale white and ice cold. She knew it was ice cold because just yesterday Edward Cullen had saved her from a deadly car accident. She didnt know how, he was so far a way and just in a fraction of a second he was there beside her saving her from the car that was about to squash her.
As Bella and Edwards relationship grew she found out Edward was a vampire, he loved the scent of Bellas blood because there was something different about it and that if he lost his control he could kill her any second. Edward had brothers and sisters as well. Their names were Alice, Emmett Jasper, and Rosalie. Alice could tell the future and she saw that Bella would soon be part of their vampire family, but Alice wasnt always right sometimes her predictions could be wrong. Jasper could change peoples emotions whenever he wanted to. Emmett was incredibly strong and Rosalie was extremely beautiful; she was the most beautiful girl Bella had ever seen. Of course Edward had a special power as well. He could read peoples minds. There was something different though when he tried to read Bellas for some reason he couldnt read her mind at all.
One day Edward took Bella to pay baseball with his family. There were different vampires there at tat time in Forks and they heard the Cullens playing so they came to join. They noticed Bella the human. Her blood scent caught their attention, but Edward protected her. So thats when the game began, the trackers (vampires who ate humans) followed Bella. Then one of them got her alone in a ballet studio and was going to kill her without Edward being able to protect her. Could this be a start to something new? A myth? Something that the human world has never discovered Will Bella still live? Are the Cullens going to be able to protect her now? Find out yourself by reading Twilight (the best book ever!), and you can keep on going with this next book in the Twilight saga&New Moon.

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.

As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he's a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.
Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely human and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new kid in school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit together in the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and then love, Edward, she learns their secret. They are all rescued vampires, part of a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has inspired them to renounce human prey. For Edward's sake they welcome Bella, but when a roving group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the family is drawn into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human in their midst. The precision and delicacy of Meyer's writing lifts this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a place among the best of YA fiction.

Twilight is a fantastic read. Very seldom do I a series that holds my attention. But this did!!
The relationship between Edmund and Bella is so romantic. The inclination to belief that vampires live among us is so compelling that I have come to believe it myself. I have always be intriqued by horror movies and films, but this takes the cake!!

There truly is nothing more that can be said about the Twilight series. It has truly made an impact on the lives of teenage girls all over the world. Not since Dracula has an author come along and introduced a vampire character that intrigued readers and left them wanting more. I would recommend this to every teenage girl that wants to fall in love with a gorgeous vampire!
