Title: A Slow Start to a Good Series
Product review: There's a little more high school and a little less history and philosophy in this book than I'd prefer, but it is an engaging story. Bella, an ordinary, regular teenage girl from Arizona, moves to rainy Forks, Oregon, and there meets Edward, a Dominant, brooding extremely good-looking vampire. Bella comes to love him with her whole heart and soul, and Edward confesses to her that he's afraid he finds her so delectable that he may not be able to control himself around her. Any allegories to sex are completely intentional, so you can see why so many women love this series of books.The vampires in Edward's "family" of choice are almost *too* good and pure, and the family love-fest scenes started to make me sleepy. Luckily some villains show up and the end is more exciting."Twilight" could have been a formulaic romance, and it's not, for which I am thankful. It's worth reading, if for no other reason than to get to the next book, "New Moon."
