“TWILIGHT” BY STEPHENIE MEYER

“Twilight” is one of these novels that take you totally by surprise. I am positive that most of you heard about the story, especially with the movie and all the publicity it got, but hearing about it and actually reading the book are two very different things.

I like vampire stories, don’t get me wrong, but when a friend of mine suggested I should read it, I only grimaced. I thought vampires and teenagers and all the high school drama was really not for me. I liked the adult versions a lot more, to be honest (or so I thought…) But then she lent me the book and simply out of curiosity (mainly because I like to know what I’m talking about in the first place), and absolutely set on not liking it, I began reading. That was two days ago and I’m almost done…

The novel is absolutely absorbing and you will not be able to put it down until the very last page. Even now, as I’m writing this post, all I can think of is picking up the book to find out how it ends… But then I remind myself that if I finish it too quickly I’d have to say good bye to the characters and the story itself… And I find myself torn between wanting to read and savoring each page as I go…

So, surprised as I am, I love the novel and I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys a well-written, captivating and utterly breathtaking story. However, keep in mind, that if you don’t have every minute to spend reading it, don’t start until you are absolutely sure you have sufficient time to allow yourself be mesmerized and enter the world of “Twilight”…
