That same year, Twilight was named one of Publishers Weekly's Best Children's Books of 2005. Twilight was initially rejected by 14 agents, but became an instant bestseller when published originally in hardback in 2005, debuting at #5 on the New York Times Best Seller list within a month of its release and later peaking at #1.
Edward’s family was an eclectic mixture of personalities.There was Emmet, the large, loveable lug of a teddy bear, mysterious and aloof Rosalie, Alice and Jasper with their amazing psychic and empathic gifts, and their “parents,” Carlisle and Esme who has their own fascinating backstories.I too found the Native American father and son characters, Billy and Jacob Black to be intriguing.They appear to partake in some contentious history with the Cullens which isn’t fully explored in this book.It will be really interesting to discover where this piece of the story goes in future installments.Twilight is a young-adult vampire-romance novel by author Stephenie Meyer. I enjoy it when the heroine in romance novels can only sense things about the poor boy and read into that accordingly.Overall, both Edward and Bella were two engaging characters who sparkled in nearly every setting that they partook.I greatly enjoyed taking them and believed that they congratulated each other absolutely.The secondary cast of characters was a wonderful dichotomous mix of both the human and the supernatural. I think Bella’s best trait, though, was her intuitive nature about Edward and things in general. I recall the intimacy was owing in great part to the amazing level of communication between Bella and Edward.These two teen protagonists affected more stark honesty in their communication than many adult characters in romance novels, rarely taking anything back from each other.Edward was still forthcoming about who and what he was far sooner than I ever expected him to be.Of course a lot of this was possible because, neither Edward nor Bella, were very “normal” adolescents.The floor got a refreshing take on teenage behavior, and a gentle reminder that not all teens do behave in the “typical” path.I frankly can’t conceive of a single thing that’s not to like about the two principal roles, Edward and Bella.Edward is a kind, sensible and loving beta hero with a dash of alpha protectiveness.He wages a constant conflict in his own mind between the knowledge that Bella is perfect for him and the knowledge that being near him will simply increase the perils for his adorable but accident-prone danger-magnet.Edward frequently reminds Bella of the risk he himself poses to her very life, and until now he always behaves as a pure gentleman, even in the most difficult conditions.Bella considered herself to be a very plain, ordinary girl, but Edward thought her to be totally beautiful. With this type of subject matter the story could have been completely campy, but instead was very beautiful, in my opinion, with enough romance and substance to rival the best adult romance novels. I utterly enjoyed this narrative of teen love between a human and a vampire. Genres: Young adult, fantasy, romance, Vampire Review Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers 1 edition
