Twilight Series

Let’s be honest: hardly anyone reads because they want to anymore. On occasion a special series will come along you are convinced to read you end up loving. Yeah it’s rare, but it has been known to happen. For everyone bored out of their minds this summer, there is the fresh and epic Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. They have become a #1 bestseller according to the New York Times. The series is commonly called, "The hottest series since Harry Potter." , and its easy to see why. Any teenage girl could fall in love with the story line, maybe get addicted, and please their parents by reading the over 300 pages first installation. Interested?
Bella is your average, awkward, semi-pretty 17-year old girl. Her parents are divorced and for the past few years she has been living with her mom in sunny Phoenix, Arizona. Recently though, her mom has found a new love, and wants to travel with him, but is afraid to leave poor Bella behind. So being the helpful soul she is, Bella moves back to the ever-rainy Forks, Washington to live with the her Dad, Charlie. She enrolls in the local, boring high school and goes into the first day not expecting anything good to come from this. Little does she know that the mysterious, irresistible Edward Cullen is to become her new lab partner, stirring up her boring life. The Cullens have a big secret, oh, I don’t know, like they are all vampires or something. Yeah don’t worry though; they are totally civil, although they are constantly resisting the urge to drink people’s blood. You may hate such things, but you’ll love this. It’s adventure, romance, high school, and horror all in one.
Anyway I don’t want to give away much more so I’ll just tell you now: there are currently 3 books in the series, each ranging from 300-600 pages. Here’s stuff you’ll want to know:
- the fourth book called Breaking Dawn comes out on August 2nd
