Later on however I heard about the books and maganed to get to read them, in secret I must add, and I absolutely devoured them. One of my friends kinda spoiled the ending for me when I was on the second book and I was so cross!!! I still kept on reading and decided I'll only watch the movies after. At this stage my life also made a huge change for the best, so the Twilight series will always be close to my heart.

The first attempt was at the age of twelve. I was so passionate about it, that I could not imagine better books. Edward seemed to me to be the greatest type of boyfriend that I could meet. He is intelligent, loyal, and attractive... So, those mere hormones spoke on behalf of me.
The second re-read was two years later. My reading experience had grown, and I had developed a preference for classics. That time, I found some aspects of Edward & Bella's relationship a bit creepy. One of those is Edward's participation in Bella's life. The girl dropped out, talking to simple human mates. She was so down in the dumps about it. Swan said on repeated occasions that she was feeling upset that she had not hung out with Angela. Also, I have to highlight that Edward's night stopovers in the girl's room were loony. On the contrary, I really liked the storylines of Carlisle, Volturi, and Quileute. I found it the most interesting part of the novel.
And right now, I'm reading the series again. Overall, that is not the worst or the best young adult book. As it still has cliches in the characters. But at the same time, I like the plot about vampires fighting and their past.
Twilight is not the best book series, but it will still remain one of my favorites since I have plenty of pleasant memories of it from my childhood. I recommend reading them, but NOT as an example of a healthy relationship between main characters.

The story is told in first person from the perspective of Bella, so the reader only ever know what she knows, making Edward and his family a mystery that is slowly unravelled through out the book. Even by the end of the book I was still thirsting for more of the Cullen family back story - hopefully their characters might be developed further in future books. Bella herself is a well written and realistic character, shy and lacking in confidence, her sarcastic inner voice narrates the story for the reader.
Twilight is simply and yet beautifully written. The descriptions of Forks leave you feeling like you can almost smell the damp air and hear the rain falling on the roof.
The romance between Edward and Bella is both touching and compelling. There is a melancholic feel to their impossible love, yet at the same time they both are unwilling to give up hope that their relationship is not doomed. The book reaches a fever pitch of excitement as the romance between Bella and Edward turns into a frantic race to stay alive.
I have heard Twilight described as “a vampire story for people who don’t like vampire stories” and I think I would agree with that. This book really has something for everyone. Young adult readers, vampire fans or romance readers will all find Twilight to be an appealing story.
For a Young Adult novel the book is quite long but don’t let that put you off reading it because each page is to be savoured. Believe me, this is one book that you won’t want to end.
