Review
Twilight is the story of Edward and Bella’s romance. Forget any vampire romance you have read before, Twilight is so unique it is almost like it is in its own genre. The book is marketed at Young Adult readers but, in my opinion, it will satisfy both teenagers and adults alike.
The story is told in first person from the perspective of Bella, so the reader only ever knows what she knows, making Edward and his family a mystery that is slowly unravelled throughout the book. Even by the end of the book I was still thirsting for more of the Cullen family back story. Bella herself is a well written and realistic character, shy and lacking in confidence, her sarcastic inner voice narrates the story for the reader.

Review
The romance between Edward and Bella is both touching and compelling. There is a feel to their impossible love, yet at the same time they are both unwilling to give up hope.
I have heard Twilight described as “a vampire story for people who don’t like vampire stories” and I strongly agree with that. This book really has something for everyone. Young adult readers, vampire fans or romance readers will all find Twilight to be an appealing story. The book is quite long but don’t let that put you off reading it because each page is to be savoured. Believe me, this is one book that you won’t want to end. (240 words)
