Twilight, Book 1 in the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyers
Meyer, S. (2005). Twilight. New York, New York: Little, Brown.
The fame of Twilight has gotten by few people in today’s literary world. Stephenie Meyer penned the first book, Twilight, in her beloved Twilight Saga quartet, from the idea of a dream she had the night before. With her baby on her lap, she wrote the story of Bella Swan, a clumsy self-sacrificing teen, who leaves her newlywed mother (to let her travel with her baseball player husband), to go live with her father, Charlie Swan. She leaves Sunny Arizona to arrive in the small town of Forks, in the rainy Pacific Northwest. Under an unabating cover of clouds, Bella meets Edward, a vegetarian vampire (meaning sans human blood), and they fall in love. I mean the grandest kind of love you can image. Evoking the chivalry of yester years, Meyers gives a new, cool name to the literary vampire as well as to reading books without sex or drugs: quite a feat in today’s society. Meyer’s writing may be weak, but her story telling is intensely (sometimes reading like a diary) personal and well done.
