Twilight- Stephanie Meyer



I read this book in New Zealand and due to extreme boredom, I loved it. This is the best one of the series. This book is massively popular and was on the New York Times for some ridiculous amount of time. Anyway Twilight came out in 2005 but I jumped on the bandwagon late and read it this year.

The book is about Isabella "Bella" Swan, an anti-social teenage girl,who moves from sunny Phoenix Arizona to rainy Falkes, Washington. Where her dad Charlie lives. She starts going to the local high school and notices this strange family , the Cullen-Hale family. Bella instantly feels an attraction to Edward Cullen. Edward pretty much ignores Bella until she almost dies in the school car park. Edward saves Bella and escorts her to the hospital. She questions how he saved her and he tells her that she must be in shock.

Anyway they fall in love and then Bella guess what the strangeness about Edward is ..... he's a vampire and can read minds, all except hers. They become inseparable. Then they meet these other vampires who are carnivorous. Oh I forgot to tell you that the Cullen-Hales don't drink human blood and call themselves vegetarians. Anyway they meet this group of vampires who do drink human blood. One of the vampires has the gift of being able to track anything. It decides to track Bella and tricks her to go to her house in Phoenix Arizona. Bella is bitten and Edward saves her from death.

The author Stephanie Meyer has promise a book called midnight sun which is Edward's perspective of the whole of the first books events but may not go ahead after the book was leaked to the internet.
