Twilight Review


Twilight is the story of Edward and Bella’s romance. Forget any vampire romance you have read before, Twilight is so unique it is almost like it’s in its own genre. The book is marketed at Young Adult readers but it has the ability to cross age barriers and will satisfy both teenagers and adults alike.

Twilight is simply and yet beautifully written. The descriptions of Forks leave you feeling like you can almost smell the damp air and hear the rain falling on the roof.

The romance between Edward and Bella is both touching and compelling. There is a melancholic feel to their impossible love, yet at the same time they both are unwilling to give up hope that their relationship is not doomed. The book reaches a fever pitch of excitement as the romance between Bella and Edward turns into a frantic race to stay alive. I have heard Twilight described as “a vampire story for people who don’t like vampire stories” and I think I would agree with that. This book really has something for everyone. Young adult readers, vampire fans or romance readers will all find Twilight to be an appealing story.For a Young Adult novel the book is quite long but don’t let that put you off reading it because each page is to be savoured. Believe me, this is one book that you won’t want to end.

The #1 New York Times bestseller

''Propelled by suspense and romance in equal parts, this story will keep readers madly flipping the pages of Meyer's tantalizing debut.''

''The novel's danger-factor skyrockets as the excitement of secret love and hushed affection morphs into a terrifying race to stay alive... Twilight will have readers dying to sink their teeth into it.''

''Her story, recounted in hypnotic, dreamy prose, encapsulates perfectly the teenage feeling of sexual tension and alienation.''

Favourite Quote

About three things I was absolutely positive.
First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him - and I didn't knoe how dominant that part might be - that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
