Book Review. Twilight by: Stephenie Meyer pgs.498

So imagine moving to a completely different state, with completely different weather, different people, different living arrangments, no friends, and then meeting the man of your dreams. Sounds pretty awesome right, or is it? Considering he is a vampire who might just want to kill you.

Twilight, the first of its series, written by Stephenie Meyer is no other than a love story, a very twisted love story. When Bella Swan moves from sunny Arizona to the rainy town of Forks it comes as a complete culture-shock. But soon after her arrival she meets the gorgeous and mysterious Edward Cullen. Her curiosity and heart sends Bella tumbling into Edward's porcelain arms. But the more Bella and Edward uncover about each other, and the harder they fall in love, the more they put each other and everyone around them in danger.

Bella Swan, one of many of the main characters, is a very innocent and clumsy character. She is very helpless throughout the whole book, which makes her the perfect and complete opposite of her other half... Edward Cullen, statuesque in appearance, is a very down to earth character. He spends most of the book trying to hide his identity from Bella, and then the other half protecting her. His loves gets in the way of anything else that could have mattered in the beginning. Charlie, Bella's dad, is a kind of distant character, although to me he plays somewhat of an important role. He trys to be the protective, but not overbearing father that Bella doesn't really want. Then comes Edwards family, the Cullen's, all of which are very mysterious and mostly keep to themselves.

The setting of this book to me seems very modern day. I can imagine her high school in Forks being just like the one I go to, when I read this book I can imagine myself being there with her and Edward. Although in alot of ways their lives aren't realistic I still fell like they go through alot of things that most teenagers do. They suffer from the same high school drama that we do. And I feel very intough with the characters when I read this book.

I loved the first of the Twilight Saga and I can't wait to read the next one. Anyone who likes action and love storys i recomend this book to you! You will love it! Happy reading:)
