"and the lion fell in love with the lamb"



...and the lamb the lion.

For those who have not read Twilight by Stephenie Meyer I urge you to stop reading this review and purchase it immediately.

Then come back and finish the review!

I'd never heard of Twilight until a dear friend's daughter, Hannah, asked me if I'd read it. She described the book to me and she was boundless with enthusiasm. I will admit that I was leary of reading it as it is deemed a "teen" novel and I of course am definitely not a teen but I ordered the book any way and was overjoyed when it arrived.

First - it was a much longer book than I anticipated. This fact made me immensely happy.

I began reading that night and only got to chapter two. Hannah assured me that the book "got really good" around chapters three and four so the next night I again began my quest into the world of Edward and Bella.

At 3:45 a.m. I had to force myself to put the book down and go to sleep.

Dreams of Edward Cullen ensued, course.

I awoke the next morning and knew I must email Hannah and tell her how much in love with the book (and yes, Edward) I was. Not only is the book brilliantly written but the characters are real and moving. Edward and Bella pulled me into their world not only as characters but with their feelings. I could see the looks Edward gave Bella and I could I feel Bella's emotions.

I was falling in love with Edward just as she ... the lamb to the lion.

I finished Twilight the next night and was greatly saddened to see the book come to end. I wanted more. I'd been drawn into this amazing world in Forks, Washington and I wanted nothing more than to walk outside and feel the misting rain as I walked to get into a silver Volvo with a beautiful, unnerving, bronze-haired vampire.

This is by far not a "teen" book, insofar as, any age could easily fall in love with not only Edward, but with Bella, Forks and the story they all create. It is not filled with the normal gory images of bloodlust that most vampire novels are; on the contray, this book was elegant in its descriptions of Edward's want for Bella.

Twilight is a must read ... and one that you will deem readable many times over.
