Twilight by Stephanie Meyers


Summary: Bella is a normal teenage girl who just moved to Fork with her father, Charlie. She starts her new high school and everything goes as expected, untils she meets Edward. He is a dazingly, hansome 17 year old guy. But there is something strange and mysterious about him. Their relationship becomes stronger and they fall in love, and Bella learns his secret; he is part of a family of vampires. Their relationship is complicated and restraints must take place in order to keep Edward from losing control because of Bella's luring scent. The problems start when another vampire family arrive to Forks. One member, James, is lured by Bella's scent. Edward must do what it takes to save her. The chase is on.


Review: Themes in Twilight include passion and hope. Edward and Bella share a sense of hope that they will be able to make their complicated relationship work.The story is told in first person, Bella's view. We can only see her thoughts making Edward and his family seem more mysterious and enthralling. This novel has the ability to entertain any age. Even if vampires don't seem appealing, it is not like any other vampire story. The novel takes the direction of Romeo and Juliet but Twilight seems to be its own genre, unlike anything written before. This is a novel that will be hard to put down because every page is filled with suspense and romance.
