Introduction of Twilight Series by Gladys

Every year, there are many popular movies come out, but do you know which one’s box office is the best forward Harry Potter? In 2008, when Twilight broadcasted, it was the winner of the best seller ahead Harry Potter 7. According to this, people can know that it was really amazing work. Twilight is a vampire-romance novel by the author, Stephanie Meyer. From her introduction of the story behind Twilight, the author mentioned that she woke up from a vivid dream and started to write this novel on June 2nd, 2003. However, when she finished Twilight, she didn’t want to lose these characters in the novel that she loved very much. So, Twilight became a series of novels and there were other three sequels which were New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. At the beginning, Stephanie was naive about publishing. She thought it was easy to publish a book. However, to her surprise, Twilight was initially rejected by 14 agents, but becoming an instant bestseller when published in 2005. The same year, it was named one of Publishers Weekly’s Best Children’s Books. Also, the novel was the biggest selling book of 2008 and has sold 17 million copies around the world. It was on the New York Times Best Seller list and translated into 37 different languages.

In Taiwan, the Twilight saga, Twilight and New Moon already released. I only saw Twilight movie, and I plan to see New Moon movie and buy the series books in winter vacation. After seeing Twilight, I am like to fall in love with Edward Cullen. He is so handsome that I believe that every girl must be crazy about him including me. Moreover, I even want to be Bella in that such romantic story to get together with Edward.

Following, I would like to summary the story. It is a story about the love between a vampire and a human. Isabella Swan is the main character who moves to Forks in order to live with her father, because her mother and her new husband go to take a trip together. Bella and Edward Cullen know each other because they study at the same school. The Cullens are vampires but they are different from others. It is because they just hunt animals not kill people. They are like vegetarians. However, Bella is the girl whom Edward is waiting for a long time. It means that Edward cannot stop desiring the scent of Bella’s blood. He even says that Bella is his own heroin. Although Edward has tried to avoid getting together with Bella, they fall in love with each other finally. Unfortunately, the situation is ruined by another tracker vampire, James, who wants to hunt Bella. James bites Bella but Edward saves her by sucking the venom. It is lucky that James is killed by the Cullens. At the end of the movie, Edward and Bella attend a prom together. It’s unexpected that Victoria who is James’ mate shows up at the last scene. I think the whole movie mix not only love and romance but also excitement and horror. I really love this series movie.
