Have you ever wished for something amazing and unexpected to happen to you in a dreary place? For Example, when Bella Swan’s boring life took an unexpected turn…?

           "I wasn't finished kissing you yet," said Edward.

When Bella moves from sunny Phoenix, Arizona to always rainy Forks, Washington to live with her father, Charlie, she is less then excited. She has to start a new High School and make new friends. After not long at the High School Bella makes a few friends, meets a few nice boys, and notices the Cullens.

When Bella meets Edward Cullen everything changes. Her once dreary and uncomfortable adjustment to Forks suddenly became worthwhile and her new life became a romance. Yet, as Bella and Edward get closer to each other she starts to discover some strange things about him and his family. First off, she notices how anti-social the entire Cullen family is. Second she notices how amazingly beautiful they all are, abnormally beautiful.

She also starts to notice how Edward seems to always know when she’s in trouble where she is, and how him and his family never seem to eat. All the things Bella began noticing soon added up and she finally uncovered him and his family’s deepest secret. They were Vampires.

But as Bella’s relationship with Edward grows stronger she finds herself in some bad situations, which include having life threatening problems with the wrong kind of vampires and being in an unbreakable love.

This book was not very good. The idea for the plot isn’t that captivating and the story is really sappy and fake. For one, Edward seems disgusting and I have no idea why anyone would ever fall in love with him. The overall description of Edward was not appealing to me at all. Since I find Edward to be such an un-appealing character, all the sappy parts in this book were ruined for me. It was just a bunch of really weird and awkward moments strewn throughout the book. I’m sorry, but vampire-human love doesn’t work and NEVER will.

            However, the book Twilight was not super poorly written or anything, it just didn’t appeal to me. I can see how some people might like this book. If you’re the kind of person who likes sappy romance mixed with fantasy vampires, then this would probably be a really good book for you to read.
