Twilight (The Twilight Saga, 1)

The book that inspired the global film phenomenon, starring Kristin Stewart and Robert Pattinson.

Fall in love with the addictive, suspenseful love story between a teenage girl and a vampire that redefined romance for a generation, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephenie Meyer.

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, Bella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn.

So far, 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.

Rereading it 14 years later made me realize I’ll never grow up, I still love this book like I did back then!

This is probably my thousandth time reading this book. It is so nostalgic for me and it reminds me of a simpler time in my life. While the book is very good and definitely better than the movies; there are some points that bug me.

#1: Bella falls for a vampire and has the wrong reactions towards him. She’s not even scared that he could kill her in an instant. She’s more scared of losing him. Is she okay? Did she have a traumatic childhood that Stephenie didn’t explain? The lack of logic in her thought processing is just astounding to me.

#2: Bella is too dependent on Edward. It’s so stupid, you can live without significant others. It’s not that hard at all! You’re not gonna spontaneously combust if you are away from them for longer than a day.


#3: The whole situation with James tricking Bella into thinking he had her mom could have been completely avoided. She should have just told Edward or Alice! Instead, she had to go off and be an idiot.

Other than those 3 things, I really love this book! The electricity between Bella and Edward, the funny comments Edward makes, and just the fact that vampires are involved is a perfect combination.
