Twilight

The Twilight series, by Stephanie Meyers, is an unexpected phenomenon. Twilight is the first book in a series of four. The latest book, Breaking Dawn, came out August 2, 2008 and the movie is premiering November 21, 2008. The Twilight series shares many of the same fans as Harry Potter.

Twilight is a fictional novel about a teenage girl named Isabella Swan. She moves from Arizona to Forks, Washington to live with her father. She dreads moving to the small town of Forks where it rains seventy-five percent of the time and everyone knows everyone. She attends her first day of school where she receives a lot of attention from other students, which she does not like. She soon meets Edward Cullen, a mysterious boy in her Biology class that is abnormally attractive. At first he avoids her completely and acts extremely strange around Bella, but after a few days he sends her mixed signals. After a night on the beach, a friend of Bella's, Jacob Black, tells her a story about Edward and his family. She cannot believe what he tells her, but is soon assured that Edward Cullen is a vampire. Edward and Bella fall in love and throughout the novel Bella faces the dangers of being with a vampire.


I am passionate about these books because I enjoy reading a lot. This series of books is unlike any other and makes you feel like you are part of the love story. The way Edward treats Bella models how all men should treat women. The Twilight series is an unbelievably well written series of books that I would suggest anyone to read!
