Bella Swan moves to Forks following her mother getting remarried and touring with her husband who is a baseball player. The reason behind her moving to Forks, its to be with her father, Charlie. Bella seems to be a very average girl, plain looking, a little clumsy but apart from that, she seems pretty average. As with many teen reads Bella starts her new school and meets a host of characters that are now her new friends. Bella also meets an incredibly hansom boy called Edward Cullen and he hates her.
The next part of the novel is flirting between the two, Bella finding out that Edward is infact a Vampire, and him doing everything he can think of to put her off of him, even though he tells her every day that he is developing feelings for her.
To be honest I did like this, its sort of a guilty pleasure but there comes a point when you just have to sit back and think about the context of any novel. Twilight for example has a very rushed romance between Edward and Bella, it seems to teach girls bad habits in relationships, as well as her putting herself in danger with a vampire. I mean, if a guy came to you, a vmapire, said you smelt great, you would be terrified, not blush and treat it as a compliment.
I hate that this book is incredibly popular, it lacks everything that makes other books great, its one of those books you need to read to understand why people like it so much. Even if it makes you smile a little, gives you a few butterflies, that should be what books are about. While I'm not telling you to go out and love it, I'm merely suggesting that I can understand why people may like it even though it is incredibly rushed and maybe a little pointless. It is a guilty pleasure of mine and many other people out there.
