Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Twilight (Twilight Saga, #1)

by Stephenie Meyer

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.
"People do not want to just read Meyer's books; they want to climb inside them and live there." -- Time
"A literary phenomenon." -- The New York Times

I had watched the movie on my tiny little Ipod when it first came out on DVD and what not. I had fallen in love with the movie and my best friend I knew had copies of Twilight so I ended up borrowing them from her. I LOVED it, even if the writing wasn't all that superior. The story itself was good on its own, regardless of sparkling vampires, that made me laugh but hey everyone is entitled to have their own take on the vampire world. I was quite enthralled in the world of Edward and Bella and even Jake though he didn't show up that much in this book. This book is what got my desires to write again going... Twilight is the muse that got me out of my many year writers block. And yes this Review is way overdue... but hey better late than never right? :)
