Rachel Guzman’s book review of Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.
Synopsis:
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. 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.
I finally decided to read this series after hearing from everyone who had read it that I will become instantly obsessed, knowing it was considered an 8th grade reading level I figured it would be a fun easy read and that’s that. Well it was a quick read but only because I was so drawn into this fantasy romance that I couldn’t put the book down.

Stephenie has a way of describing every aspect of a character and their surroundings, that they feel more like someone you know rather than just a person you’ve met on paper. You want to be friends with Alice, somehow save Bella from her clutzy self and definitely get a little bite or two from Edward. Even the town of Forks, which has become a huge tourist attraction since the book’s release, sounds like a dream world right down to every last moss-covered tree even though I am generally against rain and all things humid. Definitely go into the series with an open mind for love, blood and a tolerance for murmuring cause it’s apparently a favorite thing for vampires and a favorite word of Stephanie’s and she uses it very often. Also since it’s for the ages of 12 and up don’t expect anything R rated in this book but that’s what makes this story so unique and what makes Edward so romantic because it’s not all about sex. If you allow yourself to be pulled into this world then you will definitely become obsessed like so many of us have already! Enjoy!
Rating 4/5
