About This Book
"Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands.
'Be very still,' he whispered, as if I wasn't already frozen. Slowly,
never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but
very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of
my throat."
As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In
Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a
pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful
Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time
controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he's a vampire.
At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill
her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead
than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the
novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily
chaste relationship.
Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely human
and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new kid in
school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic
young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the
gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she wonders
about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit together in
the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and then love,
Edward, she learns their secret. They are all rescued vampires, part of
a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has inspired them to renounce
human prey. For Edward's sake they welcome Bella, but when a roving
group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the family is drawn into a
desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human in their midst. The
precision and delicacy of Meyer's writing lifts this wonderful novel
beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a place among the best of
YA fiction. (Ages 12 and up) --Patty Campbell
