Many of my friends didnt like twilight because of the films, and quite frankly i think Kristen Stewert cannot act. However, the books on the other hand are amazing! In this book it tells the story of Bella Swan whose parents are divorced and she is going to stay with her dad whom she doesnt have a relationship with and lives in a far away town called Forks. Where upon she meets this dreamy boy called Edward who turns her world upside down in the next 4 books in the series, but to get the other books you need to start here. I would highly recommend this read if you are either A)a teenage girl B)likes romantic books or C) wants to relate to this girl whose having to deal with one disaster after another.
