Twilight (Book Review)

I never thought that I would be the person reading a book based on romance and vampires. However, in the book Twilight, Stephenie Meyer catches your attention right away and makes you not want to put the book down. Her style of writing is one that you can understand and not one that is thought out and has so many different meanings that it becomes hard to understand.
This book is based on a young girl, Isabella Swan, who moves to a small town, Forks, to live with her dad. She didn’t know what it was going to be like considering she only visited him a few times in her life. When she starts high school everyone seems to be really nice to her except for one boy that sits next to her in Biology, Edward Cullen. After cringing and sitting as far away from her as he could, he slowly becomes friendly. His beauty makes it hard for Bella to resist him; his pale skin, bronze hair, and strangely beautiful black eyes. Soon enough they fall in love and Bella finds out Edward’s secret being a vampire. Bella doesn’t seem as afraid or turn off by this as she should, which scares Edward. As they begin to get closer, Bella gets to meet his family who are also vampires and while out one day they come across James, the tracker. He is a tracker vampire and once he found Bella’s scent he was going to do whatever he could to have her. She tries to hide, but that is not what will stop him, he will do anything to have her even threaten her family. But in order to truly find out what happens you have to read the book.
This book is one of the most interesting books I have ever read. I never thought I would be the person wanting to stay up late to finish it. Stephenie Meyer does an amazing job with grabbing your attention and using imagery to draw out exactly what was happening. Throughout the whole book in my head I could imagine exactly what was going on. Even though the genre of this book is romance I would recommend this to everyone, guys and girls. It has a lot of action to keep you focused but the love story between Bella and Edward gets more and more intense as you read on. Also, I found out that Twilight isn’t the only book; it has a whole series so you can continue on the romance in New Moon and Eclipse.
