For those of you who have read Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer I doubt very much I have to tell you how amazing they are, you probably already know. For those of you who haven't read her books however, there are no adequiate words to describe what it is you're missing.
Not only do her books have hot vampires in them, romance that bites you and holds on, but she has also constructed charachters who are so life-like, so human that not connecting with each of them on some level is impossible. This is especially true of Bella, the protagonist of the books. Bella is the epitome of normal, she's average, sure, she's unique in many ways, but she's accident prone, she makes you laugh, and she's one of the most well woven characters I've ever read. She's easy to connect with, to feel as though you were her, not because she's amazing in some way, but because she's just like your everyday person, she's just like you and me.
Now, what are great characters without a plot? Don't worry, Twilight has that too. Sure, it's a romance but what's a romance without a few good twists. Admitedly, the second book in the series, New Moon, makes you want to stranggle someone or break something, but it too is all an intricate part of the plot, even if you only end up a few steps further.
All in all I would recomend Twilight to anyone, whether you like the fantast genre or not, whether you're thirteen of sixty, Twilight and New Moon are stunning books that'll keep you up until the waking hours just so you can finish them.

Hi Aly, I like your review of Twilight. You want to see something weird? Go to readerscafe@blogspot.com (with an s) and you'll see my blog. We pretty much chose the same name, the same format, and then reviewed the same book. Look in my September posts.
