This time I’d like to present you the summary of the last book I’ve read, Twilight. It’s the first book of Twilight series. The book was written by Stephenie Meyer, currently one of the most famous novel writer. The book is a novel that falls into romance and fantasy, but some critics say that Stephenie Meyer created the new genre called vampire-romance novel.
The action of the book is set in the present in the small, quiet and very green city, Forks. It describes the story of the main character Isabella “Bella” Swan who falls in love with the vampire Edward. It entirely changes their live and causes many problems. The story introduces seventeen-year-old Bella, who moves from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington to start living with her father, Charlie, who is the sheriff in Forks. In the school Bella meets Edward and falls in love with him. One day Edward saves the life of Bella from the car accident and then Bella discovers that Edward possess the extraordinary skills, but she doesn’t even realize yet that Edward can be a vampire. After the accident Edward avoids Bella being afraid of confrontation with her. But, of course, the love wins and Edward confesses to Bella his feelings and tells her who he is. Bella is invited to Edward’s home to meet all his family (parents Carlisle and Esme and siblings Alice, Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper) and get to know the knowledge about family’s history and vampires in general. While Bella watches the Cullen’s baseball match, she meets James. James is a vampire from other family and also a hunter who desires Bella’s blood. He follows her, so Cullen’s family has to protect her. James works toward the goal threating her with killing her mother and lures her to Phoenix where he attacks her. Edward finds Bella and pulls out all the venom from her blood which would transform her into a vampire.
The main characters change and grow in the story finding out what the true love means. Edward is the first person whose Bella accepts and who isn't annoying her. She is ready to sacrifice her human life to be with Edward. On the other hand Edward doesn't want to agree with this idea because he claims that the transformation hurts much and the human life is more diversed than his own. It shows that Edward isn't selfish person.
Twilight is a type of the light book with quite easy vocabulary and uncomplicated plot, that is why this story isn’t my favorite one. The book contains a lot of descriptions of places and characters, causing a lot of breaks in the story, what can discourage a reader to continue reading. I can’t say that Twilight was bad, but simply this type of book doesn’t meet my expectations.
