“Twilight” the new genre of romance. ..

Forget all the vampire stories you have read before and say hello to a different and well written novel that will surely capture your hunger for a love story that will not only leave you with satisfaction but also addiction to this new genre of romance.This book not only captivates young adults but also the once young and the young at heart. The story was told by its lead character Isabella “Bella” Swan who moves into Arizona where she was at first isolated and seemed to be an outcast since she’s still new in the place and on her first day in school, she found herself seated beside Edward Cullen, an attractive yet enigmatic young lad who tried to avoid her ever since they met. Her sarcastic inner voice narrates the story, so the readers only know what Bella knows As the story progresses, Bella found herself entangled with mystifying local tribal legends, she then finds out that Edward’s family are all vampires, she is much relieved to learn that the Cullens choose to abstain from drinking human blood, and drink animal blood instead. It did not much bother her knowing that Edward is a vampire because she had already fallen in love with him. Edward and Bella’s love for each other grew so strong that they’re going to conquer anything that would hinder their intense yet forbidden union.       The description of the places that the story took place was beautifully described which allows the reader to be toured in that specific plot the author is trying to picture into the mind of her readers.      "For almost ninety years I've walked among my kind, and yours ... all the time thinking I was complete in myself, not realizing what I was seeking. And not finding anything, because you weren't alive yet.", the ice-cream melting words of Edward towards Bella, his newfound life and with that Bella expresses her desire to become a vampire, which Edward refuses to let happen.     I know that everyone will find this story appealing and exciting. For young people who sees this book I know they’ll think that it’s too long but trust me don’t judge a book by its cover. This is one book that you don’t want to miss and end.
