Twilight by Stephenie MeyerMy review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
The first book in the series is an engaging introduction to the plot of the story. I can see why it has become so popular with teenagers. The story is set in a school where a young new entrant meets up with the future love of her life. the attraction is palpable and the syrupy texture of the love angle apart the setting is intriguing as the person she is in love with turns out to be a vampire. There are no complextities in the romantic plot, it is a pretty straight forward romance; just the characters and settigns are different from that of an MB and this has been turned later into an adventurous saga of their love and journey to come together and become equals.
From the second book onwards in the series you may find a love triangle emerging out of the storyline to keep the plot interesting. The vamprire disappears leaving the heroine behind while the friend transforms into a werewolf...mind you none of the story's main characters are normal or from the real world.
The plot thickens when Bella is struck between Edward the vampire and Jack the werewolf and cannot interpret her feelings for thw two. The vampire is stoic, guilty, and engagingly a perfect counterpart to the rather wilful, adventurous and wild Jack.
Readers are invited to place their own bets as the flip-flop affair continues until another set of disaster awaits them and so on it goes....on and on one disaster in each book finally leads Bella to her destination.
The book's heroine is at times as narrcistic as any teenage girl would be while the vampire is interestingly cold and she adores his cold touch...ugh!!! too sweet!!!
