Twilight

Reading this book was solely possible due to the countless night outs i did working hard for my company.. You might be confused as to how these are related to each other.. Hmm yeah with a sense of accomplishment, i am proud to say that i was given a spot award for single handedly completing my module not once but twice.. I am not sure which hand i used to complete it, but my other hand was busy playing games during office hours which is kind of my main profession.. The reason for me getting the award was different, though this is what was written on my award.. So who cares, i got the award and a sapna book house coupon worth 1000 bucks as monetary reward..

The main protagonist of this book is Bella(Isabella swan).. The whole story is seen through the eyes of Bella.. This is the story of Bella a shy regular girl who has the knack of getting into dangerous situations without herself knowing and Edward, a vampire who is the kind of perfect guy every girl wants..

The story starts with Bella moving from Phoenix to a small town Forks, which is too damp to her liking.. She joins high school, where she meets Edward and instantly gets attracted to him.. The romance blooms as Bella gets into danger too often and there he is to save the day as always.. At first Edward tries to avoid her for obvious reasons that a vampire is a blood thirsty being and he fears that he could not control himself.. But as time passes by he simply cannot avoid her.. He starts telling her all the secrets about himself and his family..

Then suddenly out of nowhere enters the antagonist, James another vampire who was hyped so much, that i expected a lot from him.. His part in the story could have been extended a bit.. And the end where Bella spills a drop of blood and one of Edwards family member tries to attack her was kind of unnecessary.. There are some characters introduced which are supposed to be used in the sequel.. That was unnecessary since they had too little a role in this book..

Overall the book is a nice read.. Even though the story is simple and kind of predictable, nowhere did i feel bored.. There are no over the edge action scenes in it.. It was kind of disappointing in that sense, since a vampire story is supposed to be that..

He-he those who want to read a gripping suspense novel can skip this one.. Waiting to read the next one in the series..

Bye for now,
cheers,
A jobless person..
