My recommendation on this book is:  only start it when you have a lot of time to read.  Because, if you’re like me, all thoughts of what you’re supposed to be doing will get shoved aside by the desire to know what happens in the story.  None of my “I’ll stop at the end of a chapter” thoughts stood a chance.  Eventually I just gave in and read to the end of the book.

Twilight (Little, Brown, 2005) by Stephenie Meyer puts you right in the midst of Bella’s dilemma and then goes back to the beginning of how she got there.  Along with Bella—as long as you don’t read the give-away on the back of the book*—you’re discovering who or what Edward and his family are.  It’s a story of unbelievable things being believable.  Of love, trust and sacrifice.

If you like unusual, I’d say this is a must read.  Then, of course, you’ll want to read the sequels.  New Moon came out in 2006.  (My husband has reserved it at the library for us.)  The third book , Eclipse, comes out in August 2007.  Read more at http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/
