Synopsis

When 17 year old Isabella Swan moves to Forks, Washington to live with her father she expects that her new life will be as dull as the town. But in spite of her awkward manner and low expectations, she finds that her new classmates are drawn to this pale, dark-haired new girl in town. But not, it seems, the Cullen family. These five adopted brothers and sisters obviously prefer their own company and will make no exception for Bella. Bella is convinced that Edward Cullen in particular hates her, but she feels a strange attraction to him, although his hostility makes her feel almost physically ill. He seems determined to push her away ? until, that is, he saves her life from an out of control car. Bella will soon discover that there is a very good reason for Edward's coldness. He, and his family, are vampires ? and he knows how dangerous it is for others to get too close.

Review

O.K so I have been walking around feeling completelyt unsatisfied with anything I've picked up to read. Kind of like when your canine teeth feel like they need some REAL meat to chew through!

Well I picked up Twilight hoping that it would sate my cravings for a really good read. It has! I ploughed my way through this book in about 2.5 days. It's a great vampire story that doesn't get lost in sex, lust and greed, like so many do. It is sexually charged but in a much more innocent way, tender without being mushy. Kudos to Stephanie Meyer for not getting stuck in the usual vampire rut. 

I can't wait to get my literary canines into her next  book.
