Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Stephenie Meyer is a writer from the USA. This book was the first book that she published. She once said that she had a dream about a girl who fell in love with a vampire. She discussed her dream with her sister and she convinced her to write a book about it.

There are four books to read in the Twilight saga, but I want to write a review on the first one. Twilight was first published in 2006. It is a book about friendships,true love and things that do not exist in the real world,like vampires and werewolves…or do they?

The story is about a girl named Bella and how her life changes when she moves across the country to live with her father Charlie in a small, rainy town called Forks in the USA. The story takes place in present time, but you hear stories from the past also.

The other main characters in this book are ”the Cullen family” who are vampires, but in a nice way. There is a struggle all the time to keep humans alive and they try hard to survive by drinking animal blood instead.

This is not an ordinary vampire book like ”Dracula”.Stephenie Meyer has taken this story to a whole new level. It is about a human girl who falls in love with a vampire and she writes about how Bella thinks and her feelings about Edward Cullen. When you read the book you have a great feeling and it is like you are falling in love all over again in your real life.

In the story you will meet Edward and his ”parents and siblings”. They all have some different life stories to tell. How they became vampires and how they met each other.

Something you should think about when you read this book is that this story is written from Bella's point of view. In her eyes  Edward is the most perfect man in the world and she can not see anything else than that. But it is not just a crush between them..it is their destiny.

In this first book Stephenie tells us about the characters around Bella. There are some struggles between their feelings for each other, mostly from Edward and his family. All he wants is for her to   be safe but he knows that he is not good for her.

You will find love, excitement and joy during the journey in the fantasy world.

The book contains just over 400 pages and the language is not terribly difficult,there may be some words that are difficult,but the context makes you understand anyway. My recommendation for the age group that can read the book range from teenagers to the lovesick middle-aged!

 My opinion of this book is that if you want to escape into a world of supernatural and romantic elements,read the book!

Just want to issue a warning: The books are addictive!!
