Twilight by Jessica
Twilight is a series of four vampire-based fantasy/romance novels by the American author Stephenie Meyer. It follows the adventures of Isabella Swan, a teenager who moves to Forks, Washington DC, and finds her life turned upside-down when she falls in love with Edward Cullen. She eventually learns that he is a member of a vampire family whose members drink animal blood rather than human. Then she meets three other vampires who want to kill her.
The Twilight series is popular among young adults and teenagers, having sold over 40 million copies worldwide with translations into 37 different languages around the globe. The four Twilight books were the biggest selling novels of 2008 on the USA Today Best-Selling Books list.
The four novels are Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.
Film adaptation: Twilight has been adapted into a film. The film was directed by Catherine Hardwicke and Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson play the parts of Isabella Swan and Edward Cullen. The movie was released in the United States on November 21, 2008 and grossed $35.7 million on its opening day.
Main characters:
- Isabella Swan (her nickname is Bella)– She’s one of the protagonists. In the first book, she’s 16. She’s a dark brown-haired and a brown-eyed girl. Bella is a perpetually clumsy "danger magnet". She moves from Phoenix, Arizona, to Forks, Washington, to live with her father, Charlie. Many boys are attracted to her when she arrives, but she falls in love with Edward Cullen, a mysterious boy she discovers to be a vampire. In an attempt to protect Bella from his dangerous lifestyle, Edward leaves her. Bella falls into a depression and is comforted by her friend, Jacob Black. She comes to love Jacob, but not as deeply as she loves Edward.
- Edward Cullen – Edward was born on June 20, 1901 in Chicago, Illinois, and is frozen in his 17-year-old body. He’s a vampire who lives with the vampire Cullen family, who drink animal blood rather than human. Like some vampires, Edward has a supernatural ability, mind reading; it allows him to read anyone's thoughts with the exception of Bella who is immune to his power. He falls in love with Bella soon after she arrives in Forks. Edward knows that he could kill Bella easily, a fact that torments him so much that in the second book he decides to leave Forks so he and his family won't be able to hurt her. He returns, however, because he realizes he cannot live without her.
- Jacob Black – A minor character in the first novel, Jacob is introduced as a member of the Indian Quileute tribe. He has a much larger role in the second novel, becoming a werewolf and Bella's best friend. Although he is in love with Bella, she initially sees him as just her best friend.
The Cullen family - Carlisle has transformed the whole family into vampire. He and his wife have adopted the five teenagers.
The Twilight soundtrack is the official music for the 2008 film Twilight. The Twilight Original Motion Picture Soundtrack album was released on November 4, 2008 The album having sold about 165,000 copies in its first week of release.
