I read it in 2008 and i thought it was a nice story about bella falling in love with a vampire. before i read twilight i have seeing often at different book store for a while and one day i decide to pick up the book and read the back of it. to me it look interesting and different so a few month later i finally decide to buy the book. i read it in two month it was easy to finish it and i saw the movie a few day after. I love all the characters they are all different. My favorite character have to be bella. i also like Edward and Jacob they are awesome. The story was easy to undertand and the idea of it was simple. so i recommended this book for people who like love stories(like me) and Vampires.
