After J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series created a worldwide furore, Stephanie Meyer very artfully stepped in and all those who had a God-like devotion towards the spell binding 7 series by Rowling, gave Meyer's first attempt at writing romance an equally vehement reaction.
Meyer's unusual storyline of pitching humans with vampires in the same frame with such unparalleled magnetic attraction towards each other, won her fans of her own and even that of Rowling's before they were even halfway through the book. Crazy, fast- paced, enthralling, riveting are some words that rightly define Twilight.
Girls from five to fifty couldn't stop swooning over Edward, and some boys who were initially forced into reading the book found the very mysterious Bella enchanting. Stephanie Meyer has woven the plot of this book in a manner such that each character adds to the book in its own way. The future-telling Alice, the emotion-controlling Jasper, the oh-so-strong Emmett, the beautiful yet cunning Rosalie, the ever so generous Carlisle, the subtle yet smart Esme who constitute of Edward's family, make you fall helplessly in love with the teeth-sinking, blood-sucking clan of vampires. That is why, by the end of the book when Bella, who is very much human, wants Edward to "convert" her and you more than agree with her point of view.
A book that you will find difficult to put down, Twilight keeps you flipping through the pages, panting for more. It is a book for all those who love conjuring imaginary instances and believe that maybe, just maybe, the impossible might happen.
That, maybe vampires do exist, and you might be the next Bella after all. Stephanie Meyers has surely given J.K. Rowling a run for her money, but there is no denying that Rowling is epic.
