Twilight

Not the movie, the book. I've scoured the 'Net for opinions on this book and found many and varied opinions, ranging from utter disgust to irrevocably in love.
Twilight is about a 17-year-old girl named Isabella "Bella" Swan who moves to rainy Forks, WA, to live with her father so that her mother can move around with her new husband. She meets alot of new people, but one sticks out in her mind: Edward Cullen. He's absolutely gorgeous, like no one else she's ever seen. He seems to to have a strange aversion to her. And then she finds out why: Edward Cullen is a vampire and her the scent of her blood is like a drug to him. Despite his insistence he is dangerous to her and she should stay away from him, they fall in love. *Cue the evil villians bent on tearing their love apart.* Well, really only 2 out of 3 of the villians want to tear their love apart. The cat-and-mouse game begins and our herione narrowly escapes with her life.
This book is great. There are few problems in it, one being the conflict is not present until near the end of the book. It's like, "Oops, there's no conflict. Let me write these bloodthirsty vampires into the mix." And since the book is written from the point of view of a seventeen-year-old girl and not a wise, old English professor, it's not brilliantly-written, filled with words that require a dictionary to pronounce and comprehend and plot points that boggle the mind. But it's incredibly descriptive and you can't help but fall in love with the characters. I would definitely read this book again if I was in posession of my copy.
