The Plot

Bella Swan moves to

dreary Forks, WA from

sunny Phoenix, AZ to live

with her dad while her

mom and her new

husband spend some time

together.

Life in Forks is boring and

monotonous, to say the

least, that is, until Bella

meets Edward Cullen…

The Plot, continued

Edward and his family

lead a quite life and try

not to bring too much

attention to themselves.

But then Bella moves to

Forks, and it’s all

Edward can do to stay

away from her, when he

knows that loving Bella

could destroy them all.

The Plot, continued

Edward and Bella must

navigate the limits of

their love for each

other, because, as a

vampire, Edward’s

love for Bella could kill

her. Especially when

the leader of a band of

vampires sets his

sights on possessing

Bella, any way he can.

Pre-teen and teenage girls will more likely enjoy Twilight. It is highly romantic and suspenseful, with a lot of drama. Teenage girls will fall in love with Edward’s character, and they will imagine themselves as Bella.

I recommend Twilight to others because it is a beautifully written story with romance and suspense. There is the element of the forbidden love between Bella and Edward that will have you turning the pages to see what they’ll do next. The theme of good vs. evil is one that is very prevalent in almost all vampire novels, and it helps to make for an exciting read.
