                                             Book Review: Twilight

Tiffany Zeatlow

This is a fiction book that was one of the bestselling books when Stephenie Meyer released it in 2005. I personally took interest in the book after I saw the first Twilight movie. The movie wasn't so good, but I heard the book was much better. Strangely enough, as I was reading the book, I could picture each scene from the movie.

This book is about a girl, Bella Swan, who moves to Forks, Washington to stay with her dad while her mom is off traveling with her new husband. At school, everyone seems to be interested in Bella. She really catches the attention of a few people. When she first saw Edward Cullen, she was instantly curious. She was assigned to sit next to him on the first day of school. As she sat down, Edward seemed to be disgusted with her. Since then, he went missing. A few days pass and at the end of the school day, a van in the school parking lot almost smashes Bella. Lucky for her, Edward saved her.

Since then, she's been so curious as to how he possibly could have saved her with his bare hands. For the next few days, she drowns him in questions. Her friend, Jacob, tells her some legends about vampires. When Bella confronted Edward, he admitted to being a vampire. Fortunately, they only drink animal blood instead of human blood.

Bella was astonished about Edward being a vampire. But, as they began to get to know each other, they fall in love.

Unfortunately, that brought her life in danger. Two human blood-sucking vampires, Victoria and James, are after her. James tricked her into thinking they were holding her mother captive. He told her to come to an old ballet place alone, if he wanted to see her mother again.

While she was there, out of nowhere, James attacked her. Soon enough, Edward and the rest of the Cullen's came to her rescue. Sadly, James had already bitten Bella. After the Cullen's destroyed James, Edward quickly sucked the blood out of Bella so she wouldn't turn into a vampire.

After that whole scenario, Bella was taken to the hospital to make sure she'd be all right. After she was released, she and Edward attended prom together.

If you want to know how this book ends, read it. ;)

Personally, I liked this book because for one, I’d rather read a fiction book than any other book. Second, it really painted pictures in my mind. Last, but not least, it was worded in a way that made it interesting to me.
