TWILIGHT

The Book starts with a Biblical quote emphasizing on the fact that the forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest.



But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil,
Thou shall not eat of it,
For in the day thou eatest there of
Thou shalt surely die.

At last I finished reading the Book. Initially when the concept of a young girl falling in love with a vampire was unraveled to me, I was kind of taken aback. I felt this was a book I would never get my hands on. Let me tell you my point of view has changed. Kudos! to Stephanie Meyer. "Twilight" is a toast among young adults, it has managed to capture the hearts of all age groups. Beautifully Written!!!! The descriptions and dialogues succeed in making you get into the skin of the entire story.
The story revolves around Isabella Swan (Bella) and Edward Cullin. Bella is a seventeen year old, she's different from the rest probably because she comes from a broken home. Teenagers whose parents have been separated can relate well to her character. Bella has been portrayed as a lonely person hungry for acceptance and love. Bella's mother remarries and so she leaves Arizona and moves in with her father to the rainy city of Forks. Bella assumes her life to be the same, but to her surprise things change when she meets Edward Cullin, who is different from the other boys she had encountered in the past. Edward was someone who looked right into Bella's soul. She is heart broken when he tries to distant himself from her, Edward knew for sure that if their relationship progressed Bella's life would be in danger. The story ends in a manner making you thrust for more.

Favorite lines from Twilight
  • About three things I was absolutely certain. Firstly Edward was a vampire, Secondly there was a part of him and I don't know how dominant that might be that thirsted for my blood, Thirdly I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him .
  • He called you pretty. That's practically an insult, the way you look right now is much more than beautiful .
I enjoyed reading the Book!!!!
