Synopsis 

Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife-between desire and danger.Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.

                                                                      My Thoughts

I am ashamed to admit that I had first judged this book by the movie, I know, I know horrible way to judge a book. My first reaction to the movie though was; sparkly vampires, what the heck! And why does Bella always bite her lip and stutter? After much, much time I finally decided that, maybe, just maybe I should read the book. So I stupidly went on the Indigo website (we don’t have any Barnes & Nobles in Canada) and just ordered the whole book set, only because it was the white collector’s edition! I really should have borrowed a friend’s book or a library book for Twilight but, nope I just assumed that I would like it. 

When I first started the book I almost put it down and said “I give up!” the prologue was okay not too bad but, what bore me to tears was the first few chapters of the book, in my opinion it was quite slow, but most books are. What annoyed though was the beginning of Bella and Edward’s relationship/ friendship, while I was reading the book I was so so so tempted to just flip to the chapter where Edward and Bella were a happy couple! Don’t worry though I was able to resist that strong powerful force. Now that I'm typing this though, I realized how fast the relationship had escalated, they had only been on, what one date and all of a sudden he is watching her sleep in HER BED! Surprisingly in Twilight, vampires sparkled in the sun, which had me puzzled at how Stephenie even thought of that, and I had to take away manliness points for that, I mean come on sparkly vamps! Despite the sparkly vampires and snoopy people in Forks, which is the small town Bella moved too, the book had many funny and fluffy adorable moments, but don’t worry there was also suspense, and exciting, near death moments. Overall I would give this book a 4 out of 5 the plot was pretty good, I liked how it was written, it had me laughing at some parts and awwing at others. It also successfully got me head over heels for, the Edward and Bella pairing (I wouldn't mind having somebody as protective and romantic as Edward) I loved the romance, suspense, humor and the super naturals in Twilight and I would recommend this to a friend!
