Finally! I just got a hold of the first book of the Twilight Series and I have just started it. So far, it has me hooked. I had not expected to get so involved in a teenage-vampire love story, but here I am! The writing is very simple, obviously to attract teenagers who don’t go for the big bait and just read for the story. However, it is not childish or even too simple. I think it has the right touch of description, but also gets to the point fairly quickly None of that Cormac McCarthy “He went and came back” deals. The story is very fast paced and keeps the reader interested. It is not that difficult to be entranced by the book and I found myself lost in it for quite longer than I expected. So far, the hostility between Edward and Belle has just heightened and I am, too m own surprise, more than eager to find out how things turn out. The characters are very interesting to me and I find learning about them not too difficult to follow.
However, I do wish that the plot was a bit more realistic, a bit better developed so as not to completely banish any thoughts of reality from it. I mean, what annoyed me most about what I have read so far, is that Belle meets a vampire at school. Maybe things could have happened a bit more differently.
But so far, I am hooked and I have definitely learned not to judge a book by its cover. Because one of them might be Twilight.
The Twilight series is written by Stephanie Meyers.
