Twilight by Stephanie Meyer: Review!

You're all shocked by this post, aren't you? If you have been a member of this blog for a while you may have realized I have a slight obsession. The Hunger Games! And yes I am now reading The Twilight Saga. Shocked? Then to make this more jaw-dropping I will say that I actually really enjoyed Twilight! I know, believe what you are reading, it's true!  Here's my review,

About three things I was absolutely positive.

First Edward was a vampire.

Second, there was a part of him-and I didn't know how dominant 

that part might be-that thirsted for my blood.

And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably

 in love with him

When Isabella Swan moves to the small town of Forks in Washington she first lays eyes on Edward Cullen. Sitting in the corner of the cafeteria along with five others all chalky pale and dark eyes with bruise like shadows underneath them. All inhumanly beautiful. She looks up to find Edward's eyes fixated on her constantly and realises he is avoiding her in a class, where he pulls his chair as far away from her as you can get. Somehow Edward stops a car,hurtling towards Bella, when was too far away to reach her. When Bella spots the dent in the car, the same shape as his shoulder. Only after this near-death experience does she realize there's something different about the Cullens. They were Vampires and she was already unconditionally in love with Edward. But not normal Vampires, 'good' Vampires who don't hunt humans and drink their blood but satisfy their first by hunting animals. Before long they find themselves in an unlikely relationship but there's still a part of Edward that thirsts for Bella's blood. Her scent is just so delicious. And when Edward, who was born in 1918, is stuck in a seventeen year-old's body is there any way they can be together? How dominate is Edward's thirst? Is her scent to irresistible for Edward? and How much will this relationship put Bella and her family in?

This book really surprised me after getting mixed views from my friends. I was gripped to the story as Bella falls for vampire Edward and struggles to make the right decision. The PREFACE at the beginning instantly pulls you in as you want to know how Bella is facing her death. As the story goes on you follow Bella as she falls from Edward, it's like your reading her thoughts. It's a perfect romance novel. I would give this book a 9/10 review because it was written in American so I didn't completely understand what certain things were and this really annoys me in books! The ending chapters were exhilarating and I was literally on the edge on my seat but some parts lacked in excitement. I would recommend this book for ages 12+ as it's about vampire and characters face death in it. Which, would probably scare younger readers. Overall Twilight incredibly impressed me as it's an exhilarating, teenage romance novel with a twist! It is a great read for teenagers!

Of course Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2(the film) is out on November 16th. I'm now going to make my way through the films(My mum's got the box-set) ready to see Breaking Dawn. I felt like I was missing out not joining in with the excitement, and since there's still another 453 days till Catching Fire(Just saying..) I want to join in! Next on my list is the Divergent trilogy, which they're now making into a film!(Starts filming in March 2013)

Here's the trailer for the first Twilight(Nice snapshot!)

So yes, I really like The Twilight Saga! As much as The Hunger Games hmmmm....

Keep day dreaming!
