Reading is a passion of mine that I have always enjoyed. My discovery of a book called Twilight deepened my love of reading by engaging my interests in the forbidden love between a male vampire and a human girl and his undeniable urge to taste the blood of the girl he loves. Being that he has never experienced the taste of human blood, makes his struggle of his love for Bella more bittersweet. His fight to keep others from harming her has turned into his most difficult task as well as challenging himself to not have to choose between first blood or first love. Keeping such a huge secret in a small town has its disadvantages. Such as attending school on dreary day, playing baseball in the rain and feeding on animal’s blood in the woods on sunny days. While the upside of having a girlfriend, is that he has someone to confide his “powers” in. Bella knows that something within her is not quite right and she fights with the idea of becoming immortal to be just like Edward. She seems to find comfort in the thought of becoming immortal. But Edward knows the cruel fate of this decision so he tried to persuade himself against the idea of Bella living forever, even when he is faced with the deadly decision of saving her life by immortalizing her. He faces his biggest challenge when he loses himself in trying to save her life by taking too much of her life. Part of the attraction for Edward was that Bella is a bit of a recluse and deep down, he felt that he could trust her with his secret; Even though he never told her his secret. Bella’s intuitive nature led her to seek out Edwards’s secret when he saved her from being crushed. This book gives a fresh look at a stereotypical story line involving vampires and humans. It takes the “boy meets girl” scenario to a whole new level by taking the average disturbed girl out of the traditional setting and landing her into a new world that she would have never imagined to exist.
