Πίστευα ότι μετά από τόσα χρόνια το λυκόφως δεν θα ήταν το ίδιο ενδιαφέρον για μένα, αλλά έκανα λάθος καθώς το βρήκα για ακόμη μια φορά ιδιαίτερα διασκεδαστικό και εθιστικό.Ξέρω πόσο πολύ κράξιμο έχει φάι αυτή η σειρά, σίγουρα δεν είναι το αριστούργημα αλλά η stephanie meyer αντικειμενικά δημιούργησε ένα πολύ καλογραμμένο βιβλίο.Δεν καταλαβαίνω ειλικρινά γιατί όλοι κολλάνε σο γεγονός ότι οι βρικόλακες εδώ παρουσιάζονται με διαφορετικό τρόπο και αυτό είναι προσβλητικό λες και η συγγραφέας έθιξε κ ...more

Premetto dicendo che ho scoperto e letto il libro molto prima che uscisse il film e questo mi ha permesso di gustarmelo senza troppi pregiudizi. Ho trovato Twilight un libro scritto in modo fluido e semplice senza troppe pretese, insomma uno young adult che cerca di unire una grande storia d'amore con il lato oscuro del fantsy. Probabilmente è proprio la parte fantasy che avrebbe dovuto essere ampliata e corretta. In alcune parti risulta troppo melenso e un pochino assurdo (i vampiri che luccica ...more

Bella is a seventeen year old girl who lives with her mom, Renee in Phoenix, Arizona. When her mom marries a baseball player, Bella knows her mom wants to travel and spend time with her new husband so Bella decides to move in with her farther Charlie who lives in Forks, Washington.

On her first day at her new school she is told to sit by Edward in class. Bella thinks that Edward hates her especially when he doesn’t come to school for a few days. She doesn’t know that Edward is a vampire and that Bella is a seventeen year old girl who lives with her mom, Renee in Phoenix, Arizona. When her mom marries a baseball player, Bella knows her mom wants to travel and spend time with her new husband so Bella decides to move in with her farther Charlie who lives in Forks, Washington.

On her first day at her new school she is told to sit by Edward in class. Bella thinks that Edward hates her especially when he doesn’t come to school for a few days. She doesn’t know that Edward is a vampire and that he is very attractive to her blood and that he went to feed. Edward saves her life and Bella has to know who or what he is. She bombards Edward with all kinds of questions.

Bella meets Jacob whom she has known since they were little kids. They become very good friends, Jacob falls in love with Bella. Jacob and Edward are enemies because of the vampire/werewolf legend and because they both love Bella. But they always put a side their differences and beliefs to save Bella and do what is right.

The Cullens like to play baseball when it is storming because the thunder will cover any noise they make. One day while they are playing a vampire tracker named James sees them and he smells Bella’s blood and knows that she is human. Edward and his family save Bella from James but James makes it his life mission to have Bella. James tracks Bella to Phoenix and bites her but Edward comes to her rescue again and saves her. The Cullens kill James and take Bella back to Forks.

When I first started reading books all I read was romance (Harlequin Romance). But then I discovered Stephen King and a whole world of different genre of books. I still like the romance part but I want more than just the romance. Stephanie Meyers has done just that with Twilight. Theres romance, vampires, werewolves and action.

Edward and Bella love each other in a way that they don’t have to speak to one another to know how the other feels. Edward’s family not only loves Bella for who she is but also because Edward loves her. They all have such a close bond with each other and a place in their hearts for others that they would give their own life to protect who ever is a part of their “family”. To be a part of their “family” you don’t have to be “blood” related. They believe that “you mess with one Cullen you’ve messed with the whole bunch”. The whole Cullen family especially Edward tolerates Jacob and Bella’s relationship. They understand that this is what Bella needs and that it has nothing to do with how she feels about Edward. They are more mature than most people that can’t see beyond their own feelings and never think about how other people feel. If you are looking for romance and a little something extra thrown in then you definitely need to read Twilight. ...more
