Twilight (Twilight #1)

About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him and I didnt know how dominant that part might be that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him (Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, 2005). The New York Times Bestseller, Twilight, keeps readers thirsty for more! Stephanie Meyer uses descriptive words, which allows reader's to imagine every little thing. Although sometimes it can become a repeating, I mostly look at her adjective and adverb use as a way to make the book more interesting and original.     
      When Bella Swan decides to leave her sunny home in Phoenix to Forks, WA, a place with constant rain and humid weather, she would have never expected to meet Edward Cullen. On the first day of school, Bella meets Edward, a student who acts as though he is repulsed by her, and his family. Despite their beauty and good looks, they were seen as unpopular and strange. Bella questions herself as to why Edward is being so hostile towards her when they just met. What she doesnt know is that he is trying to resist the powerful scent of her blood. When Edward courageously saves Bella from a dangerous accident, she starts to realize that he has some sort of powers and although Edward doesnt reveal his true identity, he begins to develop a relationship with Bella. Hopelessly in love, Bella chooses to ignore the constant warnings given by Edward that he is a dangerous and bad monster. Through the intriguing clues, she discovers that his warnings were real and that he and his family were vampires, but not the stereotypical kind. Bella soon finds herself trying to run away from a vicious and threatening enemy who is on the hunt for her. Will Edward and his family of powerful vampires be able to save her? To find out, read the book; it will surely amaze you.                                                                                      
       If you are expecting the usual violent vampire book, this wont be the book for you. Of course it does have its violence and even comedy, but it mostly rotates around the romance between Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. I think Twilight is a must-read for teens and adults who are eager for a strange and unusual romance between an overprotective vampire and a clumsy human. From when you first start the book to when you have finished, you feel like you are a part of the book and like you know the characters as though they are family. You laugh when its funny, you  get angry when Bella does something stupid and you desperately wish you were as lucky as Bella Swan. Overall I give this book a rating of 5/5 for its amazing ability to suck you in.
