“Twilight,” written by Stephenie Meyer, is a must-read for a lazy summer afternoon. Its story of two star-crossed lovers, a vampire and a human, is sure to win the hearts of many — eager enough to turn to the first page. The book is written from Bella Swan’s point of view, a clumsy new student at Forks High School who everyone takes notice of. One day in biology, she is flung into the life of Edward Cullen, the vampire heartthrob. He fights his urge to kill her, the scent of Bella’s blood being an overwhelming temptation. After a quick trip to Alaska to clear his head, with the help of his vampirism and his wealth, he is able to control himself, but they find out that avoiding each other is difficult when he starts to care about her. The book takes Edward and Bella through different events that put their relationship to the test, bringing them closer in love. Jacob Black, a jealous admirer of Bella, is introduced in “Twilight” as a hostile young man who wants nothing else than Edward dead and Bella to choose him. He eagerly tries to convince Bella to stay away from the whole Cullen family, or “the cold ones” as his ancestors call them. Bella refuses, much to his dismay, and stays by Edward’s side. My own experience with the book is one of extreme enjoyment, each page opening a new world full of exciting characters. I grew jealous of Bella; many times I forgot she was only a fictional character.
