Twilight by Stepheine Meyer.
Setting
The story is set in modern times. It is set in a small town in Washington called Forks.
Theme\characters
The main characters in the book are Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. The story is mostly about them two but it also involves other people that have very important roles. Such as: The Cullen family, the bad vampires, Jacob and Charlie.
After Bella Swan decides to move in with her father Charlie in Forks she regrets her decision. But when she meets the mysterious Edward Cullen her life takes a thrilling and terrifying. Now Bella is glad she came to Forks.
Up until Bella arrives into Edward’s life he was able to keep his and his family’s vampire identity a secret.
Now Edward and Bella fall in love and nothing is safe about that.
Plot
When Bella Swan comes all the way from Phoenix to live with her father Charlie in Forks it could have been the most boring mistake she made. But then she meets the mysterious Edward Cullen.
When Edward saves Bella from a car accident she is very confused she wonders how did Edward get to her so fast and how did he push the van away.
When Bella goes with some of her friends from school down to the beach in La Push she meets an old friend Jacob. Bella sees that Jacob knows something about Edward. To get the information she needs from Jacob she flirts around with him. Jacob then tells Bella an old quileuten story that quileuten legends has it that the Cullen family are known as “the cold ones”. Bella is now convinced that Edward is a vampire when he also shows her his special mind reading powers.
Bella and Edward fall in love and can’t live without each other. What Bella doesn’t know is that there is danger every corner when in love with a vampire. Later on Bella realizes her life’s on danger and everyone around her but as long as she is with Edward she feels just fine.
Style of Writing
The story is told from Bella’s point of view. The way it is written is similar to a diary only it is all written in the present. I really enjoyed reading the book. I like the way Bella tells us exactly how she feels about Edward and what is happening on this exciting journey. Not many big event happen one after the other. The story is told like everyday life and everyday a small event would happen and then as you read further they get bigger.
My view
Highly recommended! A real page turner. Very suitable for teenage girls. I really enjoyed the book and got really into it and now I am one of the big Twilight fan.
