The fan craze over the young adult literature piece "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer was definitely NOT exaggerated. This book is from the point of view of a 17 year old girl named Bella (Isabella), and deals with the randomness and complexity of the female mind. She has to deal with being the new kid in school and making new friends. Not to mention the weather change. She moved from Phoenix AZ to a small town called Forks in Washington. Forks is a tiny town compared to Phoenix, and the climate couldn't be any more different unless it was actually submerged under water. Rainy and humid all day.
She meets a boy at school named Edward Cullen. From the moment that their eyes meet, to the time when they are alone together in a sunny meadow, they were in love. Over the few months they know each other, He saves her life multiple times and trusts her with his biggest secret... He's a vampire. To his surprise, she isn't bothered at all. It just gives her interest an upper cut to the jaw.
Near the ending of the book, after Edward takes her to meet his family, the family, including Bella, gets into some trouble. Other vampires. "Bad Guy" vampires unlike Edward and his family. One of the other vampires fights and fights and fights for a drink of Bella's blood. But the Cullens can't allow that! They try to run but only run into more trouble when Bella is tricked by the bad guy and almost loses her life. The Cullens come to the rescue and destroy the carnivorous vamp. The family is safe again. Or are they?
This book is DEFINITELY a Must Read. You will not be disappointed. Stephenie Meyer really knows how to use words to describe a place or even a feeling. She can put you right into the situation so you can understand how the character feels. Read Twilight. You'll love it!
