When she is 17 years old Bella decides to move to her father in Forks, Washington so that her mother can go traveling with her new boyfriend. As she is the new sensation in this small town everybody is drawn to her. Well, almost everybody. The five adopted siblings from the Cullen family hardly ever talk to anyone outside of their family. Especially Edward seems to hate Bella but for some reason she can’t seem to stay away from him. Soon she realizes that Edward is a vampire and therefore indeed more dangerous than she imagined. Twilight is the first book I’ve ever read in English voluntarily. It has been my teenage guilty pleasure book forever and therefore I will always love it. Rereading it as an adult has shown me that this book is of course not perfect at all. It has its flaws and not all the characters are super likable. However I still feel a strong attachment to characters and the story itself. For me it’s almost like going down memory lane with a strong wave of nostalgia coming my way. I know Bella can be naive a lot of times and Edward sometimes seems a bit weird but I still owe them my love to reading English books and I will never forget that. Considering the fact that this book keeps reminding me how much I love reading I can’t rate it any lower than 5 stars. I know not everyone will agree on this but I don’t feel guilty at all.

Perfekt

Das Buch ist ausgesprochen gut und auch auf Englisch sehr gut verständlich. Absolut empfehlenswert,
