emily osment reviews her favorite book!

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer is one of my all-time-favorite books. It is a fictional adventure that takes the reader into a world of vampires, forbidden love, and a place where Bella, the main character, must make the tough decision between life without love and life without danger. From the first chapter, Meyer grabbed my attention and kept me enthralled throughout the entire book. The characters contrast so greatly, I found myself wondering how she pieced them so seamlessly.

Bella and Edward are the core characters of the book. Bella is the klutzy, unoriginal, and fearless contender for Edward's heart. Edward attends Bella's school like any other normal teenager. He is the astonishingly attractive, timeless figure in Bella's life, who just so happens to be a vampire. However, he is not your typical bloodsucking vampire. He and his family are civilized and live in secret wherever they go. I felt so connected to these characters, and often would look up from the book half expecting to see them standing in front of me.

Currently, there are three books in the Twilight series found on the shelves. The fourth book is still being written. Purchase Twilight, but be prepared to buy the next two books because the story does not end. I am having the hardest time waiting for the fourth book to come out. Before Twilight is made into a movie, read the book. I am a great believer in book first, movie second. Enjoy Twilight, and remember, be careful with whom you fall in love.
