TWILIGHT by Stephenie Meyer
ISBN: 0316160172
Format: Hardcover, 512pp
Pub. Date: October 2005
Publisher: Little, Brown Children’s Books
It is a rare thing to come across a debut novel that seamlessly slips between the YA and the adult fiction worlds. Meyer has created a magical world–one where vampires exist–that coexists with the mundane world of high school and typical coming-of-age angst and issues. This 500-plus novel reads very quickly, and continuously pulls the reader along, leaving the reader breathless until she turns the very last page.
The love story of Bella and Edward is told in a fresh, cinematic voice–one that doesn’t speak down to teenagers, which accounts for its popularity among adults. BookFinds highly recommends TWILIGHT and looks forward to the second book in this series, which is due out next year.
