“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.”
As Bella’s friendship with Edward grows they realize (very suddenly actually, but remember this is a vampire story) that they are deeply in love with each other and that they can never be apart again. Due to a terrible case of klutziness, Edward becomes Bella’s guardian and vows to keep her safe forever. Little do they know that that will mean safe from a “tracker vampire” later on.
This book was an amazing read and I thoroughly enjoyed every word of it. The mystical atmosphere that this book brought over me in the last six days has been wonderful. I found myself reading during any free moment I had. I didn’t watch much television and I didn’t surf the web much because I was reading. The character development was well paced and the plot was strong. I felt that the school scenes were right on and I found myself reminiscing about high school and the boys who I dated over my four years at Paint Branch. I remember being as boy crazy over one in particular as Bella was with Edward in the story. He was mysterious, romantic, interesting, brilliant and not what I was expecting either. He broke my heart but I don’t regret the experience.
I am very excited about reading the rest of the Twilight series and finding out what happens to Bella, Edward and the Cullen’s. I have also been watching the trailer and behind the scene footage I have come across online. The movie, Twilight, will be in theatres on December 12th, 2008.
If you have read this book, please take a moment to share what you thought of it and if you haven’t, will you read it before the movie comes out or just wait for the movie?

It’s a good thing you liked it, or you would have opened yourself up to beatings from the Twilight fanatics. ;D
I’m a bit so-so about the books. I find them very addictive, but not actually that great. I’m still going to read the next one when it comes out, though.
I have some across a few unfavorable reviews of the book. I really enjoyed it for the entertainment factor and I enjoyed the characters immensly. Thanks for commenting!
Did you think the movie trailer is like the book? You will like the rest of the books too, they only get better:)
I LOVED the book and will definitely go see it in the theater!
