Now for the moment you have all been waiting for!  Just kidding.  I know that this book has a lot of lovers and a lot of haters but I feel its worthy to look at.  I read this book long before it became the icon that it is today and honestly I think the media has ruined it.  It was a truly good book before the movies ruined it and the media made it such a big deal.  Stephenie Meyer (the author of the book) gave an interesting outlook on vampires.  Though I personally prefer the original vampires, her outlook wasn't that bad.  At least it was original.  The book is about a relatively normal girl named Bella who doesn't really want to live in Forks Washington but is moving there anyway for her mothers sake.  Her father, Charlie, is very happy to have her there and even buys her a truck.  For the first few days she doesn't really seem to like the area but she makes some friends quickly and people seem to be somewhat nice.  Then she sees the notorious Cullens.  They are beautiful and strange and the one named Edward seems to have an interest in her.  As Bella and Edward become closer his world is unveiled to her.  I loved the romance of the novel and I felt that it was pretty good and its sequels were just as good.  I would give it an eight out of ten.
