Summary:

Twilight is a gripping novel that has caught the attention of adults and children alike all over the world. The novel begins as a girl named Bella Swan moves from her hometown in Arizona, which is where her mom lives, to Forks, Washington, to live with her dad. At school she meets an interesting guy named Edward Cullen who is a mysterious, dark boy who has a secret-he's a vampire! When they first meet, Edward and Bella don't have a very good relationship, but eventually they fall in love and Bella figures out Edward's secret. Together, they encounter many life and death experiences that tighten their bond. One of these experiences includes when Bella nearly gets hit by a skidding car in her school parking lot until Edward stops the car by jumping in front of her and pushing the car away. Most every girl who has read this book has fallen in love with Edward's protectiveness and charm, which is why it is one of the most exciting, romantic novels you will read. It is also a New York Time best seller.

I give this story 5 out of 5 vampire bats for its addictiveness and great appeal and for its brilliant story of an ordinary girl whose life is completely altered by meeting this guy. I guarantee that when you start reading this book you won't be able to stop until the very last page, and even then you'll be begging for more.
