Twilight is also ranked in the American Library Association’s top ten “Books for Young Adults,” and is one of Amazon’s “Best Books of the Decade So Far.” After three sequels and a movie, Twilight has followed in Harry Potter’s footsteps to become a full-fledged cultural phenomenon on which everybody has an opinion.ĭespite its clear popularity, the question remains: is Twilight great literature? You shouldn't be afraid to ask this question. The novel was selected as an “Editor’s Choice” by the New York Times and a "book of the year" by Publisher’s Weekly. Published in 2005, Twilight won tons of praise. I was so intrigued by the nameless couple's story that I hated the idea of forgetting it (Also, the vampire was just so darned good-looking, that I didn't want to lose the mental image.) put everything that I possibly could on the back burner and sat down at the computer to write – something I hadn't done in so long that I wondered why I was bothering. Meyer got her idea for the book from a dream she had about an average girl and her vampire lover having a conversation while sitting in a woodsy meadow. As a vampire he is, after all, hardwired to think of Bella and all other humans as his prey. Though Edward loves Bella deeply in return, he also battles his natural instinct to kill her. Twilight, Stephenie Meyer's debut novel, tells the story of Isabella “Bella” Swan, a normal seventeen-year-old girl who falls in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen.
