A real treat - not only for teenagers !!

"Twilight" begins like a typical US teen novel, but about it develops very quickly far beyond: teenager Bella falls in love with the attractive, clever, but distanced classmate Edward, who reciprocates her feelings passionate - but also proves to be a vampire, the Bellas blood over all desires ...

The complicated, difficult and yet uncompromising love between Edward and Bella is shown outstanding and raises the Roman sky far above other love / teen tearjerker and vampire stories out; even Anne Rice has pale with envy here. The external action is not quite as strong as the interior, although in the second half a lot is reingestopft to Action. The largest voltage refers to the novel from its super successful characters, especially from the stunningly convincing protagonists and their dilemma: every second you rooting for with Bella and Edward!

Everything is right on the book; Passion, power, main and secondary characters - what a terrific throw! 5 Stars.

PS: The unabridged audio book in the English original is a treat for the ears, brilliantly read by Ilyana Kadushin.
