Third Quarter Outside Reading Book Review
Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. Little, Brown and Company, 2005. Fantasy Fiction
Twilight is a book about a girl named Bella who moves to live with her dad in Forks Washington. She has to start at a whole new school and meet a bunch of new friends, so she’s a little nervous.
She meets a girl named Jessica who introduces Bella to everyone at school. But when they go to lunch, Bella notices a group of amazingly beautiful people sitting at a table alone. Jessica informs her that they are the Cullen’s and they don’t talk to anyone. Bella is very interested in Edward, one of the Cullen’s. When Bella is assigned to sit next to Edward in science class, he is very tense and doesn’t want to be anywhere near. Eventually Edward comes around and apologizes to Bella. Soon enough they fall head over heels for each other, and the whole story is about a human and a vampire in true, passionate, love.
“Propelled by suspense and romance in equal parts, [this story] will keep readers madly flipping the pages of Meyer’s tantalizing debut.” – Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Twilight is the most amazing book I have ever read. Stephanie Meyer is so descriptive in everything she writes. I can see each scene unfold, and each thought that crosses through the characters minds. Without much effort I was grasped into the story and was not able to put the book down. I like how Meyer is very open and doesn’t hold back when thinking about how the characters feel. I feel like I know each character and when I think I know the next twist that the story takes, I’m pleasantly surprised by the outcome of the story.
“‘So as long as I’m being . . . not smart, we’ll try to be friends?’ I struggled to sum up the confusing exchange.
‘That sounds about right.’
I looked down at my hands wrapped around the lemonade bottle, not sure what to do now.
‘What are you thinking?’ he asked curiously.
I looked up into his deep gold eyes, became befuddled, and as usual, blurted out the truth.
‘I’m trying to figure out what you are.’
His jaw tightened, but he kept his smile in place with some effort. . . .”
I really loved reading Twilight it was a great book and even though it was so mythical and fantastic, it was extremely believable. It really pulled me early on and I would recommend it for anyone of any age. The brilliant love story never pushed over the edge of inappropriate and the action was a great element that left me wanting more. Stephanie Meyer is a really great author.
