Woman.com Review
“Softly he brushed my cheek,then held my face between his marble hands. ‘Be very still,’he whispered,as if I wasn’t already icebound. Slowly,never moving his eyes from mine,he leaned toward me. Then abruptly,but very gently,he rested his cold lineament against the depressed at the base of my throat.”
As Shakespeare knew,adulation burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight,an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer,readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward,and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard juncture controlling the blood lust she arouses in him,because–he’s a vampire. At any moment,the vividness of their passion could drive him to kill her,and he agonizes over the danger. But,Bella would rather be departed than part from Edward,so she risks her life to stay near him,and the novel burns with the sexy hostility of their dangerous and necessarily continent relationship.
Meyer has achieved quite an feat by making this scenario absolutely human and believable. She begins near a familiar YA premiss (the new kid in seminary),and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school,she wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens,who sit down together in the cafeteria but ne`er eat. As she grows to know,and then love,Prince,she learns their secret. They are all rescued vampires,relation of a family oriented by saintly Carlisle,who has inspired them to renounce quality prey. For Edward’s welfare they treatment Bella,merely when a nomadic alliance of huntsman vampires fixates on her,the family is raddled into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile quality within their midst. The precision and neatness of Meyer’s writing lifts this wonderful novel out of the limitations of the horror form to a role among the best of YA fiction. (Ages 12 and aware) –Patty Campbell
10 2d Interview:A Few Speech with Stephenie Meyer 
Q: Were you a admirer of Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Angel? What are you watching nowadays that those shows are off the air?
A: I have never seen an entire episode of Buffy or Angel. While I was words Dusky,I let my older sister read on chapter by chapter. She is a huge Buffy fan and she kept hard to get me to view,just I was afraid it would tip up my vision of the vampire world so I ne`er did.
I dont have a ton of time for TV,and my kids carry rowdy once I have on “mommy shows,”but I do have a secret fondness for reality shows (the correct ones,at least in my view). I ever TiVo Survivor,The Amazing Race,and America’s Next Top Model.
Q: What inspired you to write Twilight? Is this the beginning of a series? Why indite for teens?
A: Twilight was inspired by a greatly realistic dream,which is fairly faithfully transcribed as chapter thirteen of the book. There are sequels connected the way–I’m hard at work editing book two (tentatively titled New Moon) right now,and book cardinal is waiting in line for its swerve.
I didn’t plan to write for teens–I didn’t mean to write out for someone but myself,so I had an audience of ane twenty-nine yr old (and later one thirty-one yr anile once my sister started reading). I think the reason that I ended up with a book for teens is because high college is such a compelling instance period–it gives you some of your worst scars and some of your most exhilarating memories. It’s a fascinating place:old enough to feel truly adult,old enough to make decisions that affect the rest of your life,old enough to fall in love,yet,at the same time too puppylike (in most cases) to be free to variety a lot of those decisions short someone else’s approval. There is a lot of scope for a novel in that.
Q: What is your favorite vampire story? Fave vampire movie?
A: I guess my favorite vampire story would be The Vampire Lestat,by Anne Rice,simply because it’s one of the only ones I’ve ever read. I preserve meaning to raise Bram Stoker’s Dracula,because I get asked this question so normally and I should probably start with the classics,simply I haven’t gotten around to it yet. Again,I’m afraid to read other vampire books nowadays,for fear of finding things any too like,or overly different from my personal vampire world.
Ack! I can’t even reply the movie question. I can’t remember ever seeing a single vampire movie,outside of clips from Bela Lugosi movies on TV. I don’t like echt horror movies–my favorite scary movies are all Hitchcock’s.
Q: What other preteen adult authors do you read?
A: My favorite young big author is L.M. Montgomery I too enjoy J.K. Rowling (but who doesn’t?),and Ann Brashares. As a teen,I skipped straight to adult books (lots of sci-fi and Jane Austen),so I’m rediscovering the world of teen literature now.

Q&A with Stephanie Meyer
Q: What book has had the most significant impact on your life?
A: The folder with the most meaningful impact on my life is The Book of Mormon. The book with the most meaningful impact on my life as a writer is probably Speaker for the Dead,via Orson Scott Card,with Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier coming in as a ambient second.
Q: You are stranded on a desert island with only one book,one CD,and one DVD–what are they?
A: The CD is easy:Absolution by Muse,keeping down. It’s harder to give myself just one film,just the one I view most frequently is Sense and Sensibility–the one with the screenplay with Emma Thompson. 1 book is impossible. I’d have to have Airs and Prejudice,but I couldn’t live without something by Orson Scott Card and a nice,thick Maeve Binchy,too.
Q: What’s the worst lie you’ve ever told?
A: My lies are all very,very boring:“No,you really look great in hot pink!”“My children only watch i hour of TV a time.”“I didn’t eat the last Swiss Block Roll–it must have been one of the kids.”That’s the best I’ve got.
Q: Classify the cold writing environment.
A: It’s slowly at period and the house is silent,but I’m still (miraculously) full of energy. I have my headphones in and I’m listened to a complex of Muse,Coldplay,Travis,My Chemic Latin,and The All-American Rejects. Beside me is a fabulous,and yet mysteriously low in calorie,cheesecake….
Q: If you could construct your own epitaph,what would it say?
A: I’d same it to say that I really proven astatine the important things. I was never perfect at any of them,but I honestly proven to glucinium a great mom,a gaga wife,a good daughter,and a true pal. Under that,I’d want a list of my favorite Simpsons quotes.
Q: Who is the one person living or dead that you would like to have dinner with?
A: I’d love to have a chance to talk to Orson Histrion Card–I have a million questions for him. Largely things like,“How do you come up with this material?!”But,if he was not available,I’d settle for Matthew Bellamy (lead singer of Muse).
Q: If you could human one superpower,what would it be?
A: I’d want something horrible,a bit than defensive. Like shooting fireballs from my hands. That way,you’re really open to going either way–hero or villain. I like to have choices.
