Twilight, the story of a girl who falls in love with a charming vampire named Edward, is full of chilling suspense. The exhilarating plot twists made it nearly impossible for me to stop reading. Meyer's writing is awesome-simple and concise where it needs to be, and beautifully eloquent at other times. It has something for everyone. The love story will enthrall romantics and action lovers will find plenty of violence to satisfy them.

However, the depressing lack of character depth in the main character, Bella, disappointed me. Edward, and his fellow vampires are beautifully developed and full of complexity. However, Bella seems strangely flat and generic. She seems like a nice enough character, and I admire her selflessness and courage, but I would really like to get to know her better.

Despite these drawbacks, Twilight is a beautiful piece of literature. The descriptiveness and the suspense weave together to create one exciting, enchanting story that is nearly impossible to stop reading. I triple-dog-dare you to try and put it down.
