So I just got done reading the novel “Twilight” written by Stephenie Meyer. Stephenie Meyer is an author who currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona. Other than her writing career, she is also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints, which this makes her Mormon. Since this a vampire novel written by someone with religious beliefs you will not see any profanity or nasty blood and gore in this novel. Although the novel “Twilight” was strictly written for young adults in their teens, the book has attracted to readers in all ages.

The story is about a girl named Bella Swan who moved to Forks, Washington to live with her father Charlie. Bella’s parents are divorced while her mother lives with her new husband back in Phoenix, Arizona. Bella goes to Forks high school and makes new friends while there. There is a teenage boy named Edward Cullen who she finds very strange, she didn’t like him at first but became friends later in the novel. She didn’t know what he was until she researched herself and found out that Edward was a vampire on her own. Edward wanted to be a good vampire, not an evil vampire like most are. Edward refuses to drink blood from humans, he only drinks and feeds on animals so Edward just hunts for wild animals out in the woods.

Later in the novel, Bella runs into some vampire evil, by running into something called a vampire tracker. A vampire tracker where he follows her every move just for sport. Bella then expresses her feelings of wanting to become a vampire herself so she can be out of her troubled life and be with Edward forever. Edward would not allow this to happen. Does it happen? You’ll have to read the book for yourself to find out.

As far as my thoughts on the novel goes. I’ve read it while I was on vacation in San Diego on the plane to there and back home. The book was hard to put down. Stephenie Meyer is a good writer. I enjoyed the pacing and the storyline is actually really good too. It’s actually more than just a love story, it has storylines in there that makes you wonder what is going to happen next. It has action and a little bit of horror in it as well. The movie is going to be great and now I’m glad I read the book before seeing the movie. I’ll start reading the next book “New Moon” (which is part 2 of the Twilight series) soon. This book is reccomended.

Score for Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” novel = *** 3 stars as in good
