I really enjoyed reading the book Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. I didn't even know about this book until the movie came out. My friends dragged me to see the movie and I really liked it. So my friends and I decided to read all of the books in the Twilight Saga and this was the first one.
Twilight is about a 17 year old girl named Bella Swan who goes to live with her dad Charlie in a small town called Forks. On her first day in her new high school, she is seated next to a boy named Edward Cullen he doesn't say one word to her and tries to sit as far away as he can. Over the next few days he begins talking and they become friends, but one day Bella is almost hit by a car and it Edward appeared out of nowhere and saved her. Bella begins questioning Edward to find out how he got to her so fast but he kept refusing. She convinced her friend Jacob Black to tell her some tribal myths, and she realizes that Edward and his family are vampires, but they only drink animal blood. When she confronts Edward he confesses. Eventually, Bella and Edward fall in love and he introduces her to his family. One day at a family baseball game a different group of vampires come and one of them, James a tracker, smells Bella and tries to attack. Edward held him off, but not for long and the race to save Bella is on.
My favorite quote from the book was when Edward said"and so the lion fell in love with the lamb." I think the quote really relates to the book because it shows that two things that are supposed to be enemies have fallen in love. Lions eat lambs, just like how vampires survive off human blood. Instead of them fearing each other they fell in love.
The rating system I created for this book is 5 broken hearts 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. I chose the symbol broken hearts because Edward and Bella know that they should not be in love and yet they are. I am giving this book 4 broken hearts because I think Bella found out that Edward was a vampire way too fast. I wish Stephanie Meyer had made it more mysterious.
I think girls will really enjoy this book. It shows that guys can be masculine yet sweet and romantic. It allows girls to read about the guy they fantasize about, and lets them dream about one day being swept off their feet. I wouldn't recommend this book to any guys because its very sweet and romantic and guys may not find it interesting.
