The Characters.

As I was writing my last blog I realized that maybe some of you don't know who I am talking about. So, for those of you who haven't read these books (which is a shame on you! If you haven't, I expect you to go out and get the books immediately) I will briefly let you in on it.

The main character is Bella Swan. She is the most interesting character I have ever come across in my reading career. Bella moves to Forks, Washington to live with her dad, which is a self sacrifice toward her self. She is the type of person that puts everyone else before actually thinking of herself. Her mom wants to travel with her husband, but doesn't so she can stay with Bella and so she leaves to spend quality time with her dad and lets her mom travel. The way Bella's mind thinks is so different that it is very refreshing.

Edward is the another important character. Without him, Bella would have been smashed by the van in Twilight and this story would never have taken place (read Twilight to understand). Edward is a very deep person and has been waiting for 100 years for his true love. His true love comes in the form of none other than, Bella! Edward goes through many mental struggles between right and wrong throughout the series. These struggles are very interesting to follow.

The Vamps. Edward's family, created by Carlisle Cullen, is a group of "vegetarian" vampires. Carlisle made them and taught they from the beginning of their new lives to live off of only animal blood. From newest to oldest (counting from when they entered the Cullen family) are Jasper and Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, Esme, Edward, and Carlisle. Periodically throughout the books you get to hear each of their background stories. I think it is amazing how Stephenie Meyer came up with each unique background story.
