I was actually turned off from reading this because I heard it is written so amateurish and I might not like it. But then again a friend a work and a few others, started pressuring me to read the saga, so I caved in. I found out the storyline and some of the conversations are much too familiar to and very much some what mirrors my relationship in real life, that I almost wonder if she might have eavesdropped. Hence the reason why it pulled me into reading this book.
Due to lack of action within this book itself, it kind of dull the reason to read this book in the first place. But I guess, due to the simple storyline itself, it would make it as an easy reading material to read for advanced readers like myself.
Characters are divided into 2, humans and monsters. the humans are too.. um naive. and the vampires are mellow. Action only comes in the 1/4 last part of the book and too much high school stuff is going on in the 3/4 of book. Call me old fashion, I don’t really like sparkly glittery vampires.
As a librarian, I recommend this book to the high school students (seniors). Juniors and Sophomores may read if their parents think their teenagers are up to it.
First Words. I’d Never given much thought to how I die-though I’d had reason enough in the last few months – but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this.
Quote. I like the night. Without the dark, wed never see the stars.

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.
