1st post
I just finished reading the book "Twilight" today. It is written by Stephenie Meyer, first copyrighted in 2005 by the author herself (just for your information). It costs about thirteen dollars, so make sure you have enough money before going to a book store to buy it. Twilight is classified under romance and fantasy.
Generally, the book tells a story of an ordinary girl named Isabella, commonly known as Bella, who moved from Phoenix to Forks and lives with her father who is a police officer. She did this to allow her mother to travel around the world for cricket competitions with Bella's stepfather, Phil. Bella then met a hundred-year-old (immortal) vampire,named Edward, in Forks and eventually fell in love with him. While Bella tries to get close to Edward, he repels away as he was afraid that he would hurt Bella due to his thirst for blood and her extraordinary scent that appeals to him.
Edward's family consider themselves' "vegetarian" as they do not hunt humans, only animals.
This book grabbed my attention with just the first chapter. This book is very interesting. There are lots of descriptions of the characters (especially Edward). This allows readers to be able to picture the characters in their mind. To me, the most interesting point of this book is that the description of each characters were revealed bit by bit with each chapter. This made me flip through the chapters as i was eager to find out all the complete characteristics of every character(especially Bella and Edward). A normal student of young age (when i say young, i really mean young) would give all these descriptions in the first paragraph. I would rate the book 4/5 (because i do not believe in perfect score). If you enjoy reading romantic novels, you will certainly find this book wonderful.
