I thought the book Twilight was better than the movie. It had more details and told you what Bella was thinking and feeling better. I'm usually not a big book reader, but i thought this was pretty good for being a dorky vampire love story. I would recommend this book to others because it is a good story and full of excitement and adventure. If you liked the movie you'll like the book!

Pages 203-374

If I could rewrite a part it the book it would be when the men in Port Angeles are following Bella. I think it would have been more exciting if Edward would have fought them or something different. It sounded like he didn't get out of the car.

Bella meets Edward's family and go to play baseball with them during a thunder storm. Most of Edward's family likes Bella, except for Rosalie. Rosalie thinks Bella will uncover their secret and they will have to move away. While they are playing baseball Alice sees others coming. They hear them playing and come to play. They get there are smell Bella. This is as far as I am.

Pages 203-374

So far into the book, Bella finds out Edward is a vampire and they grow closer and closer to each other. At first he tried to ignore her and stay away from her for her safety and his family's. But everything about them drives each other closer. He thinks it is his duty to take care of her and keep her from danger, he saves her from the van and the men following her in Port Angeles. Edward takes her to meet his family and she learns their history and where they came from. Then he meets her father, Charlie, before they go to play baseball. While they're playing baseball they get visitors, others of their own kind but bad. And they are after Bella.

Questions: Are they going to take Bella?
Will Edward and Bella get to stay together?
Will Bella die?

Pages 159-203

Twilight's setting is in Forks, Washington. It is always rainy and wet in Forks; it is a small town and is surrounded by wooded area. Everything was green from the trees covered in moss and the ground covered with ferns. The time period in this book is resent. The socioeconomic characteristics in this book would be mostly in the middle class, except for the Cullens. They have nicer cars, clothes, and a big nice house.

Pages 1-159

There are a lot of characters in this book, but I am just going to talk about the main ones. Isabella Swan (Bella) is one of the biggest characters in this book. Bella likes to keep to herself, she doesn't mind being alone. She is also very clumsy, she says she could never be an athlete because of her bad hand-eye coordination. She is 17 yeas old and has pale white skin, blue eyes, and brown hair; but in the sunlight it has tints of red. Stephanie Meyer uses a direct method of revealing Bella.

The next character is Edward Cullen. He is 17 years old also; he has very chalky, pale white skin, with untidy, bronze-colored hair, he has dark shadows under his eyes, and from Bella's first look at him he has dark eyes, but later in the book they change to a light brown. Edward is all around beautiful, like he came out of a movie. He acts strange around Bella in the beginning and tells her she should stay away from him. He is mysterious and Bella can't stop thinking about him, she demands to know what he is. Edward is revealed directly just like Bella.

Twilight (MMW)

I have chosen to read Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. I chose to read this because I have seen the movie and to see if the book is really better than the movie. I want to also see what all the "Twilight" fuss is about.
So far into the book, a 17 year old girl named Bella moves back to Forks, Washington with her dad Charlie. Forks is a small town everyone knows everyone. It is cold and rainy there. Bella is quiet and likes to keep to herself, so she doesn't know what to do when she gets all the attention at her new school. Her first day she notices the Cullen family. They are all so beautiful and different, they have pale white skin and look like they came out of a movie scene. Edward Cullen is in her biology class and acts very strange around her. Then he doesn't show at school. When he comes back he saves Bella from a van skidding across the parking lot. Then Bella starts to wonder about his strange behavior, looks, and feelings. She hears a local legend from Jacob Black, he is Charlie's friend Billy's son, about the "cold ones" or vampires. This all logical to the Cullens pale white skin, the way they speak like they're from another time, Edward's quick speed and strength, and his cold skin.
This is how far I am into the book so far.
