Twilight-Olivia Lucero

Lucero, Olivia English, Period 6 November 19, 2008 Twilight Book Report Blog I read Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, my favorite series of all time. This has been my favorite series for a while now and will be for a while longer. Lucky for me, this book has a movie coming out on the 21st of November. I have read this book six times now and I just can't get tired of it. Stephenie Meyer has such descriptive writing and her style captivated me by the first page. This was the book to read for me because of how much I love it. As soon as I heard we had a book report my mind immediately jumped to Twilight. Sure I have read other great books, but none of them compared to this one. I just had to pick it. The book had amzing characters and an outstanding plotline. There are multiple characters but for this particular book in the series, I'd have to say that Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, Alice Cullen, and Dr. Carlisle Cullen were the important ones. Bella Swan sees herself as an average girl but no one else does. To others, she appears kind and caring and usually thinks of others rather than herself. She is a good friend and, trust me, she can keep a secret. Edward Cullen is the hero of the story and much more. He is the main vampire, who falls in love with Bella along with the rest of the school, but for very different reasons. The rest fo the school loves her because she is the new and different one. Edward loves her because of her personality, beauty, and much more. Edward himself, is very generous and only thinks of what's good for Bella and never himself. Alice Cullen is Edward's adoption sister but they are as close as if related by blood. Alice is spunky, energetic, fun-loving, and never shuts up. She loves to party and is always looking for a reason to have one. She becomes Bella's friend toward the end of the book but Alice always knew they would be friends. Carlisle Cullen is Edward's and Alice's adoption father. He is always calm nd knows what to do for every situation. Carlisle is compationate and an intelligent vampire. He is the top doctor at the hospital in Forks. He is constantly fixing up Bella whenever she gets injured, so in other words, a lot. This story is unique because it has two conflicts that are solved throughout the book. In the first half, Bella moves to Forks and is the main attraction to everyone at Forks High, except for five exceptional students. They stick out like a carrot with apples. They are the Cullen family and are all graceful, beautiful, quick, and vampires.Bella and Edward get closer and closer and as they notice more things about each other, Bella gets suspicious. Something weird is going on with the Cullens and she wants to know what. Eventually she figures out the family is a clan of vampires known as the "vegetarians" of their world. Their diet consists of animal and not human blood so it is in a way, safe for Bella to be around them. Eventually Edward and Bella are as close as a couple, just much more careful than one. When Edward takes Bella to a family baseball game, Bella is amzed at their speed and strength, but all goes wrong when three unexpected vampires arrive who's diet doesn't match that of the Cullen's. One of them is interested in a challenge proposed when the Cullens rush to protect Bella. James, the interested vampire tries a number of things to lure Bella into a trap. Will Bella ever be safe again? That's for you to find out, if you read the book. I have a favorite quote which is also the most famous from the book. It is when Edward says to Bella, "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb." It is a reference to them as a couple. Bella is the frail and fragile lamb, while Edward is the strong and graceful lion. The lion is a strong and has to be careful with the breakable lamb. Edward is a deadly and bloodthirsty creature of the shadows and Bella is the fragile and weak human that with one wrong move, can be easily killed by Edward. It is a great analogy about the odd pair up of the couple. The rating system for my book will be out of ten apples. The reason I used apples is because it is on the cover of the book. The apple symbolizes the knowledge of good and evil which is what Bella gains by the end of the book. The apple has such a history that it is a perfect represantation to the story. I give the book fifteen apples out of ten because the book is just that good. I recommend this book to people who are thirteen and older. This book is not only filled with romance, but it also contains suspense. It is a book that is very easy to fall in love with and gets some people to start loving reading. Twilight is a book that is good for both genders depeneding on where you are in life but it is a book that is so good you won't be able to put it down and will be sad when you are done. WARNINGS: This book is not meant for under the age of 12, beware of kissing, minor foul language, minor gore and violence.
