Twilight is a love story between Bella and Edward, told from Bella's perspective. She's the human and he's the vampire and they are together even though they shouldn't. Their love causes many problems and Bella's life will soon be in danger. In this book there are many different themes but the four major ones are "Forbidden love, "Love conquers all", "Good VS Evil" and "The choice we make in life" all of them playing a huge part in the book.
The message is told in a very abstract way and it's hard for you to figure it out but after a while you come to understand that "The choice we make in life" is the actual theme that contains the books message. At least I think that what Stephenie Meyer is trying to explain in this book is that all the choices we make in life is always going to effect us in some way. Nothing can be undone but you can make the best of the situation and you can try to fix the problems that you have.
This is a book that I strongly recommend to everyone, people that like passion, action, drama, romance and much more, both for young and adults. My favourite character is Alice, Edwards sister, she's very graceful and always happy. I think that she's the one who spread happiness and make you laugh. Without Alice, Twilight would have been a very sad and depressing story, not a story you would want to read.
When I finished reading Twilight I was a little bit sad even though the end was perfect because I wanted it to be longer, I didn't want it to stop. For me Twilight was a book that took you by storm, I didn't expect it to be that good. It was really amazing and I enjoyed every second of it.
When I started to read Twilight I automatically compared it to "The beauty and the beast". The beast thinks that nobody can love him, he's a monster, still the beauty (also named Bella) slowly falls in love with him.
The same thing happens in Twilight. The beast is Edward and the beauty is Bella.
I also compared Twilight with a series called True Blood, which also is about vampires, ware wolfs and other fantasy creatures. In the story a human girl with special abilities like Bella, named Sookie, falls in love with Bill, a vampire. It happens the same things that happens in Twilight, their love causes many problems and they risk their own life's to save each others. I think that Twilight and True blood are different in many small ways but in general they are like a copy of each other.
