Twilight by Stephenie Meyer MAG

I was never in love with vampires until Twilight came out. I didn’t know it was possible, but Stephenie Meyer changed the stereotypical blood-sucking vampire into a beautiful god-like creature.

In Twilight, an average high school girl, Bella Swan, falls in love with one of the most beautiful boys at her new school, Edward, who happens to be a vampire. What does one call a stunning, mysterious vampire and his stunning, mysterious vampire family? I believe “The Cullens” would suffice.

The author’s style and characters will glue your hands to the book and your eyes to the page. In no time, the book is over. But don’t worry – there are three sequels: New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn.

Twilight is well written from Bella’s point of view. It feels as though a movie is playing in your head. If you don’t feel that way, have no fear, the actual movie comes out November 21.

Twilight is such a magnificent book that it was a New York Times bestseller. Who would have thought that the idea for such an astonishing book could come from a dream the author had?

The theme is love conquers all, even the supernatural. Nothing stands in the way of love for Edward and Bella. Or does it?

Meyer’s style of writing will have you wanting to believe that there are gorgeous vampires roaming our world and just hopefully there will be Edwards for all of the girls who have fallen in love with this fictional yet breathtaking character. Since the characters’ love is forbidden, it only makes it better. ­After all, forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest.

and i disagree with all the naysayers! Twilight captivated me. You say there's poor adjectives? You're wrong. the fact is that majority of the people i've ever encountered that don't like twilight dislike it because they don't believe in love or romance. And honestly, i don't really go for the romances, but Twilight was different. it was a great book, as this person said it was on the New York Time's Bestseller list. The entire series was great, and Bella had tons of ambition. She wanted to be happy. and that's what everyone wants, even though some people have goals to make them happy, being with Edward DID make her happy. So therefore, she had her ambition, it just wasn't the kind that you have. Anyway, loved Twilight, though the first movie kinda sucked the second one was AHMAZING!:)

Here's my problem with this story. Bella is not independant of Edward, she just wants to be with him, she wants nothing more. Not to pursue her own ambition.

&quot;Saying &#039;I notice you&#039;re a nerd&#039; is like saying, &#039;Hey, I notice that you&#039;d rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you&#039;d rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?&#039; In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even &#039;lame&#039; is kind of lame. Saying &#039;You&#039;re lame&#039; is like saying &#039;You walk with a limp.&#039; Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he&#039;s done all right for himself.&quot;<br /> &mdash; John Green

yeah, I mean, Harry Potter and company may not be the best characters ever, but at least they're legit characters.

I agree Myers characters are so predictable and i have to admit at least harry potter was up to par unlike twilight.
