Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)
Twilight review
The book Twilight by Stephanie Meyer is probably one of the greatest most compelling books for people of all ages. When I read this book it literally took me 2 days to read all the way through it and my family had a hard time getting me to put it down. In the book Twilight a girl name Bella Swan falls in love with a vampire. I believe that this novel is the new Romeo and Juliet because it deals with a forbidden love. This book is so captivating and it will leave you wanting more. This book is most definitely one of my favorite books of all time and I think that the author does an awesome job of developing the characters and portraying their feelings which I really loved. If I had to rate this book I would give it 5 out of 5 stars because it was suspenseful and dramatic and it made me fall in love with the characters.
I'm usually not big on vampires, but this is a classic. Bella moves to rural forks and is the new kid in school. She meets a strange guy named Edward who is absolutely gorgeous. She soon discovers that he is a vampire. There are three more books in the series. The last one comes out in August.
As addictive as Harry Potter
I saw a couple sig lines for this book and the upcoming movie on a forum I'm on, so I thought "Hmmm, a vampire love story, why not?" (I'm a sucker for vampire love stories). I have to say, I haven't been as addicted to a book since the Harry Potter series. I kept saying "Just one more chapter," even though the chapter was 30 pages and it was 11:30 PM. I didn't want to put this book down, and finished it in two weekends. I highly recommend this book, and plan on going right out and buying the rest of the books in the series.
Product Description
"Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands. ''Be very still,'' he whispered, as if I wasn''t already frozen. Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat." 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.(Ages 12 and up)
