The Twilight series is definitely fiction from vampires to werewolves it keeps you hooked. When Mrs. Knapp came to visit our classroom she had mentioned that last year this book had earned many awards and was really good. She also said that this year the third book in the series was nominated for an award. So i figured that theses books must of been good. Another reason I chose this book was because my brother was an extra in the movie. But I will admit that when I first heard about this book I figured it would be lame because it's about vampires...but I was wrong!


Twilight is about a teenage girl named Bella who moves from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington. She comes to Forks to live with her dad, Charlie. On her first day she has everyone's attention because she's the new girl, who no one knows ,but everyone has heard of. Of the many people she meets on her first day she remembers one: Edward Cullen. Well all the Cullen's actually, because they all stand out in that they are extremely beautiful. But as Bella gets to know Edward she can't figure him out. One day he is pushing a van out of the way from hitting her and the next he isn't speaking to her. As he continues his strange behavior of saving her life repeatedly Bella reunites with an old family friend, Jacob Black, whose dad, Billy Black is best friends with Charlie. When she visits Jacob she asks him about the Cullen's and he tells her some information she hadn't expected at all. The Cullen's are vampires. As she gets to know more about Edward, he is surprised that she got it right. She comes to find that their skin is ice cold and they are incredibly strong. When Edward invites Bella to come watch the Cullen family play baseball this happy story turns into a nightmare. As there playing ball some unexpected guests come, and when they see Bella one of the vampires named James, loves the smell of Bella and with one whiff he instantly wants to kill her. But Edward won't have this so he sends Bella away with Alice and Jasper, his brother and sister. When James contacts Bella he tells her he has her mom so Bella goes to save her mom. But James tricked her and nearly kills her. Then Bella wakes up in the hospital with many brusies, a broken leg, some broken ribs, and Edward at her side.

The significance of the title, Twilight, is that in the book Edward tells Bella that twilight is the easiest time of the day for them to be around humans. But he also says that this is the end of another day and he must face one more day of forever.

If I could ask Stephenie Meyer three questions it would be:

"What inspired you to think up and write this story?"
I would ask this because to think up all of the interesting little facts she puts in her writing would be difficult and she thought of everything. Also the big things like all the characters and the plot.

"Will the movie Twilight be like the book or is it different?"
I would ask this because sometimes movies are different from the book and that is just a dissapointment if the book is good.

"Was your life as a child sort of like Bella's?"
Because in the book it really shows her and how she cares so much for the people around her. The book also shows the pain she goes through with her parents, the seperation, and her mom's new man.
