Twilight Summary
About three things I was absolutely positive.
First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him - and I didn't know how dominant that part might be - that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
Deeply seductive and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight is a love story with bite.
Fall in love with the addictive, suspenseful love story between a teenage girl and a vampire with the book that sparked a "literary phenomenon" and redefined romance for a generation (New York Times).
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.
It's here! #1 bestselling author Stephenie Meyer makes a triumphant return to the world of Twilight with the highly anticipated companion, Midnight Sun: the iconic love story of Bella and Edward told from the vampire's point of view.
Twilight Review
Great book. Fast read. Exciting love story. As I’m sure you’ve heard, Edward and Bella are the new Romeo and Juliet, except without the suicide at the end. I liked reading this book. It was fun and easy; a nice weekend read that I didn’t really want to put down. It was actually recommended to me by several of my students and if a student is excited about reading something, I’m excited too!
I’ve found that all of my students, girls, boys, Grade 9 through 12 enjoy the novel if they pick it up. What’s great about it is that for once there is a female protagonist of interest that all of my students seem to like and want to read more about.
Although there is some sexual suggestion, it is very tame and given Meyer’s religious background, very rooted in a strong moral code that comes through in her characters. It’s a safe read, nothing too racy, just a little bit of violence at the end.
If you’re a feminist, the book is a great source for debating Edwards control and power over Bella and examining the role model or role of the heroine in modern young adult fiction. I know there’s been some heavy debate in the world of feminist critique regarding this novel.
For what it is, it is a great book. We’re not talking literature here, just a fun read for all.
