The title of the book is Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. I selected this book because my friend Alice introduced me to it and when she told me what it was about i thought i might begin to read it to see how it was. and before I knew it, i could't put the book down and i read the whole series more than twice.
It is about a girl named Bella Swan who lives with her mother in Phoenix, Arizona and moves in with her dad, Charlie, who is alot like her, in a small town in Washington named forks. When she is settled in she begins high school where she left off and attends Forks High School. Bella hates it there, but soon meets Edward who turns her whole life around and starts to give it meaning to her. Edward has siblings who are, just like him, vampires. Their names are Alice, jasper, Rosalie, and Emmet. Alice is a small petite, pixie-like, joyful vampire girl. Jasper, Alice's partner, blond, and not very good at controlling himself when it comes to the smell of blood, because he is the most recent one in the family. Emmet, a strong, muscular, funny vampire. Rosalie, Emmet's partner, has long wavy silky blond hair, beautiful, very self-centered and an envious vampire. Then there are Edwards parents, Carlisle and esme. Carlisle, the towns doctor at the hospital,
blond,
And the longest living vampire out of the Cullen family. Esme, a loving, caring vampire, who treats all the Cullen siblings and Bella as her own children. Bella does happen to get into trouble with vampire, unfortunately. She knows their secret so she is in danger, because the volturi doesn't allow any human to know their secret, and she also has confrontations with bad vampires, who drink human blood. Bella also has problems with someone who Edward has to compete with, Jacob. Even though Jacob is younger than her, he still tries, even though Bella only likes him as a friend.
The quote from this book that i felt had the most significance was on page 274. "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb." i chose this quote because i felt like this was the quote that the whole story begins from and how their love really begins. In this quote Edward is relating to him as the lion and Bella as the lamb. Edward the vampire, predator, and Bella a human, his prey.
For the rating system i would choose hearts. From 1 being the most horrible book ever and dont even bother to pick it up, to 5 being the best book ever. I would give it 5 hearts, because i absolutley love this book and i chose the hearts because it stands for Edward and Bella's unconditional love for eachother.
3 reasons that i think why anyone would want to read this book is because it has action for boys, romance for the girls and women, and just the whole idea of vampires will interest anyone in any gender. Getting to read about how these fictional figures are so alike we humans, but have many differences that make them vampires. I think that whole idea is fascinating.
