As soon as I got home from the book store I idmediatly began to read it and was hooked from page one. I don't know but there's something very intriguing about the whole vampire love thing; and Edward is just so charming and mysterious how can you not fall in love with him? I really enjoyed all the references to Wurthering Heights Bella, who is Edward's mortal girlfriend and is also telling the story from her point of view. Bella representing Cathy who is caught between a love triangle who loves both men but in different ways. Edward plays Heathcliff who is madly in love with Cathy {Bella} and only realizes these feels while they are separated and expresses them when it is almost to late. Jacob, who is Bella's best friend is Linton and while he also loves the girl with a passion and is married to her, it is not reciprocated the way he would have liked-- although in Twilight Bella and Jacob never even date. Sorry, excuse my literary comparisons. Seriously, this is a great novel, Twilight is a book that you just want to bite into.
