I know Twilight was probably reviewed by many people but I wanted to say it really is a great book.My thoughts on Twilight is the whole series is very fun and well-paced. I liked the books more than the movie, which is always the case right?
The characters are likable and easy to relate to. Edward is a mysterious and handsome character. And Bella is a girl who knows what shes wants, even though it may not always be easy. Bella has a great quality about her. She's strong and smart.Bella Swan has I know Twilight was probably reviewed by many people but I wanted to say it really is a great book.My thoughts on Twilight is the whole series is very fun and well-paced.

Bella has a great quality about her. She's strong and smart.Bella Swan has always been a little bit different. Never one to run with the crowd and her character is fun to read. As for the guys, I'm in between Team Jacob and Team Edward. I love them both. Each book it changed, but they are both really great characters. My favorite is Jasper and has been since book 1. He's even more mysterious and strong than Edward. I love hearing more about Jasper.
When Bella moves to gloomy Forks to live with her father she finds new friends and meets a different crowd. She meets Edward who seems a bit off. She's drawn to him but doesn't know why, minus his handsome looks. She soon finds out hers a vampire and finds herself becoming closer to him than she thought.

Synopsis:

When seventeen year-old Bella Swan leaves sunny Arizona to live with her father in the small and gloomy Pacific North-West town of Forks she doesn’t expect to like it. After all she has made excuses not to go there enough times over the past few years. If living in Forks, with its constant mist and rain, wasn’t bad enough she will have to make a whole new set of friends and settle into a new school.

Bella soon makes some new friends at school but when she sees a boy called Edward Cullen sitting with his brothers and sisters in the cafeteria she is instantly intrigued. Edward is stunningly attractive, almost inhumanly beautiful, and yet he is an outsider too. Although Edward and his family have lived in Forks for two years they have never really been accepted by the townsfolk.

At first Edward is aloof, sometimes it almost seems like he can’t stand to be in the same room as her, but eventually they strike up an unlikely friendship. Even as Bella falls hopelessly and irrevocably in love with Edward, she still can’t work out exactly what makes him so different to everyone else.

On a trip to the beach, Bella is told of the local legend about the “cold ones”, a group of blood drinkers who have sworn off hunting humans but are still not welcome on Indian land because vampires are not to be trusted. Realising Edward is vampire changes nothing for Bella, she knows that she still loves him even if he’s not human.

Edward and his whole family are vampires. Edward himself was made a vampire when he was seventeen years-old, although that was at the end of World War I. For Edward his love for Bella is both a delight and a torment. A delight because she is the first person he has loved since he was made a vampire. A torment because although he has sworn off human blood and only hunts animals the craving for human blood never truly leaves him and the very scent of her also stirs his hunger for blood…. ...more
