Book Report: Twilight


Twilight is the story of Edward and Bella’s romance. Twilight is so unique it is almost like it’s in its own genre. The book is aimed more towards the younger readers but it has the ability to cross age barriers and will satisfy both teenagers and adults alike. The story is told in first person from the perspective of Bella, so the reader only ever knows what Bella knows, making Edward and his family a mystery that is slowly unravelled through out the book. Even by the end of the book I was still wanting more, more detail of the Cullen family back story. Bella herself is a well written and realistic character, shy and lacking in confidence, her sarcastic inner voice narrates the story for the reader. 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. Twilight is 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 reader I thought that I wouldn't be able to finish the book since it was so long, but eventually I couldn't even put the book down. This was one of the better books that I have read and I cannot wait until I finish reading the last page of the last book to this Twilight Saga.
