( )Surprisingly good for an adolecent book. i love the whole twilight series and think that this one of the best books eva writen. An overly long book about a 100 year old virgin, desperate to 'eat' a school girl. He is also an intolerable cock. 3/4s of the book is teenage flirting, & as soon as the interesting chase starts, it's over. This story is about a girl named Bella. She moved in with her dad in Forks, Washington. When she moves to Forks, she is considered an outcast. That is when she meets Edward, who has a deep dark secret. She falls in love with Edward and his family. Then she discovers they are vampires. Bella meets a friend named Jacob. She then discovers that Jacob is a werewolf. Jacob falls in love with Bella, causing a viscous love triangle. Bella gets into a lot of trouble and is even attacked by an enemy vampire, and Edward comes to her rescue. Edward saves her and they live happily ever after. The story continues with the next book. I love this book! It is now my favorite series! I highly recommend it to anyone. I do not however recommend the movies. I am not sure how I would use this book in the classroom. I think that it was a good book to do literature circle with. I think this book would only be good for the older kids, such as those in Junior High School or High School.
[L]et me say to you as a meat-eating, Entourage-watching, sports-loving (OK, I really don't love sports, or actually understand sports) — heterosexual man who can't sit through a single show on Lifetime television, let me loudly proclaim: I, Brad Meltzer, love the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. I confess, I have joined the legions of the bitten and smitten. The plot may sound rather comic and camp, but Meyer chooses to play it straight and serious. Vampires or not, what this novel is really about is a fatal attraction to someone or something dangerously different from yourself. The trajectory of the story is such that Bella's behavior and choices grow increasingly more disturbing, with irrevocable, self-destructive consequences. Meyer's debut is a gorgeous, passionate paean to first love with a dark core that's as bracing as a Northern Pacific breeze Starred Review. Grade 9 Up–Headstrong, sun-loving, 17-year-old Bella declines her mom's invitation to move to Florida, and instead reluctantly opts to move to her dad's cabin in the dreary, rainy town of Forks, WA. She becomes intrigued with Edward Cullen, a distant, stylish, and disarmingly handsome senior, who is also a vampire. When he reveals that his specific clan hunts wildlife instead of humans, Bella deduces that she is safe from his blood-sucking instincts and therefore free to fall hopelessly in love with him. The feeling is mutual, and the resulting volatile romance smolders as they attempt to hide Edward's identity from her family and the rest of the school. Meyer adds an eerie new twist to the mismatched, star-crossed lovers theme: predator falls for prey, human falls for vampire. This tension strips away any pretense readers may have about the everyday teen romance novel, and kissing, touching, and talking take on an entirely new meaning when one small mistake could be life-threatening. Bella and Edward's struggle to make their relationship work becomes a struggle for survival, especially when vampires from an outside clan infiltrate the Cullen territory and head straight for her. As a result, the novel's danger-factor skyrockets as the excitement of secret love and hushed affection morphs into a terrifying race to stay alive. Realistic, subtle, succinct, and easy to follow, Twilight will have readers dying to sink their teeth into it.–Hillias J. Martin, New York Public Library
